Can you use a combination of neem oil and eucalyptus oil to cure scabies?

If this is possible, can you explain what to do?\





if not, then can you give me a list of over the counter creams that will work and are effective?





If youve ever had scabies, can you tell me how you got rid of them?Can you use a combination of neem oil and eucalyptus oil to cure scabies?
Scabies is highly contagious and re-infestation is one of the major problems. To answer your first question, neem and eucalyptus oil are being used very successfully...but only if you are treating (cleaning and disinfecting) your environment at the same time. Neem is a fairly strong oil so using a carrier oil will help ';calm'; the scent and some other EO's (essential oils) you can use are lemongrass, cedarwood, lavender, cinnamon.


The second question about OTC scabies products that work....don't waste your time and money on head lice products...scabies is not the same. The doctor's prescription of permethrin creams (5%) are poisons and insecticides....most often the side effects are the same as having scabies....rash and itch, and some people even have worse side effects...possible seizures, liver damage, etc.


The biggest thing you can do is treat your bedding (plastic mattress cover) cover your fabric furniture with sheets of plastic and your fabric car seat with plastic or trash bags. You'll ';smother'; them, the scabies mites have to have a human host in 3 days to survive. Wash sheets, clothing, etc everyday in HOT water and dry on HIGH heat. Heat at 130-140 degrees will kill scabies mites.


You'll want to make sure the neem mix is applied at least twice daily. Neem is a natural contraceptive and will not allow the scabies mites to reproduce..rapidly cutting down their life cycles.Can you use a combination of neem oil and eucalyptus oil to cure scabies?
There is a study about neem oil and tumeric that was used in India and effective. Tumeric does stain so be aware of that. In terms of drug store items, doctors only recommend getting a 5 percent cream not using lice cream (which is otc) because that is 1 percent. The 5 percent prescription cream of permethrin I believe is around 30.00. If you use a natural treatment, you'd still really need to wash sheets, bedding and take care of house as well to not be re-infected.
