Neem oil is a powerful natural treatment for scabies . Not only that, but it also has so many advantages over conventional scabies treatments like Permethrin.

Thing is, all conventional treatments are pesticides that have to penetrate the skin to kill the mites that cause this infection. And that's why, the skin suffers and in some cases, the irritation caused by those treatments can develop into allergies and some other severe conditions.

Neem oil however is very healthy for the skin. This natural scabies treatment kills the scabies mites, soothes the itching, and relieves the pain. It also heals any secondary infections and open lesions that might have been caused by the scratching .

If you want to use Neem oil as a treatment for scabies here is what you have to do:

1- Add some Neem leaf tincture and a couple of table spoons of Neem oil into a bathtub and soak in it for 15 minutes.

2- Then wash yourself with Neem soap and use Neem lotion after the bath.

There is another method to treat scabies with Neem oil and it consists on using a strong Neem soap and Neem oil shampoo in the shower.

It is important to note that the treatment for scabies with Neem oil takes some time. Because Neem does not kill the mites but stops their proliferation so it wipes out their population over time. The good thing is that this treatment guarantees an instant relief from the pain and the itching.

scabies mite can survive outside the body for a couple of days, and that's why you'll wash the bedding and the clothes in hot water in let them dry at a high temperature. Don' use these clothes and bedding for at least 10 days to make sure that any mites that may have survived the washing are dead.

What do you use to clean furniture (couches, chairs, sofas, etc) What can be used for mattresses and box springs? Do you was clothing that wasn't used in closets or dresser drawers?
