Medicinal plants against lice
Another home remedy are medicinal plants, such as quasia, lavender, eucalyptus or mint. The process is simple. An infusion is made with 500 ml of water, and between 30 and 40 g of plant. Poro before the water boils, the fire is extinguished, the plant is thrown into the pot and covered, letting it rest for about 20 minutes.
