Mediker Anti Lice Hair Oil, 50ml Bottle
Mediker Anti-Lice Hair Oil is a well-known product, especially in India, designed to combat lice infestations effectively and painlessly. It's often used as an alternative to the traditional, and often painful, method of manually removing lice with a comb.
Key Ingredients and Benefits
The effectiveness of Mediker Anti-Lice Hair Oil comes from its blend of natural and traditional ingredients:
-
Coconut Oil: This forms the base of the oil, providing nourishment and moisture to the hair and scalp. It helps to loosen the grip of lice and nits (eggs), making them easier to remove.
-
Neem: Known for its strong antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Neem helps to kill lice and their eggs and also soothes an itchy and irritated scalp.
-
Camphor: This ingredient is a powerful antiseptic and has a cooling effect that helps to relieve the itching and irritation caused by lice bites. It also works to detach lice and nits from the hair shaft.
-
Custard Apple (Sitaphal) Extract: This is a traditional remedy for lice and is known for its ability to prevent re-infestation.
The combination of these ingredients not only kills lice and nits but also helps in nourishing the hair and scalp, making it a more holistic treatment compared to harsh chemical-based solutions.
How to Use
For best results, Mediker Anti-Lice Hair Oil is typically used as follows:
-
Application: Apply a generous amount of the oil all over the hair and scalp, ensuring that it reaches the roots and every strand.
-
Massage: Gently massage the oil into the scalp for a few minutes to ensure it is evenly distributed and can penetrate effectively.
-
Leave-on Time: Leave the oil on for at least an hour. For a more effective treatment, it's often recommended to leave it on overnight.
-
Combing: After the treatment period, use a fine-toothed lice comb to remove the dead lice and loosened nits from the hair. This step is crucial for getting rid of the infestation completely.
-
Wash: Wash the hair with a regular or an anti-lice shampoo, such as Mediker's own shampoo, to rinse out the oil and any remaining debris.
The process should be repeated regularly, often for a few weeks, to break the lice life cycle and prevent new infestations.
