Lavender oil will not treat or cure scabies. The only natural treatment for scabies is Australian Tea Tree Oil. Just apply the tea tree oil daily for 4 weeks.

I would not recommend lavender oil for scabies. It can work but essential oils should not be use if there could be sores or open wounds which there often is.

Scabies are microscopic bugs that cluster and form a crust on your skin. Getting rid of them is similar to treating head lice, special creams need to be applied, and the entire living space needs to be cleaned to prevent furthur outbreaks. Lavender oil may help temporarily get them off your skin, but it will not fully correct the problem.

Because scabies is caused by a mite under the skin, which results in intense itching when they move about, lavender oil will most probably not get rid of them. However, used topically, lavender oil may soothe the intense itching skin rash caused by the mites and any allergic reaction to them.

One of the natural ways to kill the mites and their eggs that cause scabies is to create a mixture of pure lavender oil and alcohol. Then apply this natural remedy to the areas that are affected. Then the mixture to really saturate the skin.

Scabies is really hard to get rid of. . They leave scabs when you ich them, thats where the name scabies come from. scabies are little mites.You need to apply a mite killer cream like Permethrin or a oral med like Ivermectin. Wash all the bedding not only yours but other family members as well.
