At some point you may face the prospect of curing your child of head lice. Almost every year there is an epidemic of lice that is passed from one child to another. There are products on the market that can be bought to use to treat lice but wouldn’t you feel better if there were a natural way to take care of the problem?
Lice are tiny parasitic insects without wings that thrive on human hairs. It feeds on a tiny amount of blood drawn from the scalp while it rests on the hair root. It makes the scalp itchy, are easily spread and are an annoyance. They can be spread by touch, cloth, or by being close to another person with lice. It’s important to warn your child not to share personal belongings such as combs, brushes, scarves, or hats. This is the most common way to spread head lice.

Canker sores are those pesky white ulcers that form inside your mouth. While not dangerous, they can be painful and make things like eating, drinking and talking a lot harder to do. Unlike cold sores that form on the lips and skin around the mouth, canker sores aren’t caused by a virus. In fact, doctors really don’t know what the exact cause of these sores is. The good news is, you can treat them without having to make a trip to the drug store.
The key to pretty much all medical and natural treatments for canker sores is killing the bacteria that cause the sore. There are many at-home treatments that have antiseptic properties without all the side effects and dangers of medication. Here are some:
* Black Tea. Black tea contains an antiseptic called tannin, also present in certain over-the-counter canker sore medications. To get a strong enough dose, moisten the tea bag and apply directly to the sores.
* Hydrogen Peroxide. Mixing a bit with water and rinsing several times a day will help to kill bacteria and help the sore heal faster. You may also try using a regular mouthwash more often, but be wary of the kind that sting - they can be very painful when put on sores.
