I, too, have scabies. The remedy I am using is Neem oil and Clove Oil (essential oil) and coconut oil. I mix neem oil and coconut oil and apply after I take my bath. I also mixed clove oil and coconut oil and used that, too. I would use the neem and coconut mixture in the morning and the clove and coconut mixture at night. I got some really good results, but still continue to have mild outbreaks. Now when I have a new bite I use the clove oil full strength. Kills them almost immediately. I got immediate results – like I said I still have a few bites now and then but this does seem to work. Scabies don’t like clove and neem oil. I would use tee tree oil too, but I burn when I use it so that is out for me. Another thing I did was to put sweet orange essential oil in the bath water.

I also use lye soap. It does dry out the skin but when applying the other mixtures of coconut oil it replenishes the oil and coconut oil is very good for the skin.

Even though I still have bites at times few and far in between now, I did decide to buy sulphur soap to use. I heard scabies don’t like sulphur either.

Hopefully, is someone tries this remedy they will get some good results like I have. Good luck everyone. It is not a fun condition to have.

First of all I would like to say thank you to everyone for all the remedies that they submitted. We just found out that we all have it and were very upset (as you all were). I have been bleaching everything. Then I have mixed up a conconcution of witch hazel, tea tree oil, lavender oil and eucy oil. I sprayed carpets, couches and car, praying this will work. I really like the one about using lavender on everything and I will be trying that. Will let you all know how everything works. Again thank you for posting all your ideas.

Hello To All,
My son’s college roommate has scabies and now my son came home with those awful critters. He, too, went to the doctor and tried the permithin cream, which did not cure the problem. Since I design organic lotions and cremes, I took this on as a personal challenge to create a lotion and spray that would do the trick.

After much studying and tweaking, I’ve got a lotion created with many of the elements that help rid the skin of the mites, yet nourish the skin back to a healthy state. I combined neem oil, eucalyptus, lemon, ginger peppermint, sweet basil, black willow bark, vit. e, witch hazel, laurel leaf, with organic aloe, coconut oil, and more into a lotion that has been wonderful.

I then put it into a 32 oz. pump bottle, to be used along with a neem oil, tree tree blend spray. If anyone needs a 32 oz. bottle of the lotion, leave a message on my website and I’ll get back to you. There is a better way than toxic topical ointments. Good Luck

My 14 year old daughter 2 weeks ago said that she was getting acne on her upper back right below her neck bone. On Friday she showed me her back and it looked like a fewe acne bumps then on Sunday she said mom the acne is bad and its itching, which seems odd to me because acne doesn’t itch. She lifted up her shirt and the bumps had multiplied and had 4 straight lines about 3-4 inches long. It looked like scratch marks But it was actually the mites burrowing. The Doctor prescribed permithin cream and she left it on for 13 hours. It looked like it started to dry up the next day and then it looked like the bites tripled!!! We had to go out of town for an emergency so we put lice shampoo on her body. that didn’t help either. We got home I was going to do her other treatment early before the 7 days before started reading online how horrible that cream was for her. Plus it didn’t do anything the first time. It also moved to the middle of her chest and to the top of her neck. So I have a game plan to tackle these guys. I got the ideas from all of these amazing posts. I also have a 6 mos old baby that we have to keep these bugs away from. So my baby and I bathe in water and tea tree oil (because the scabies hate that oil)and spray everything with Lavender
Ok so here is my shopping list
1. 7th generation Lavender laundry Soap
2. 365 brand (wholefoods)Lavendar Laundry Softener
3. Mrs. Meyers lavender All purpose cleaner (They hate lavender)
4. Grandpas brand Sulfur Soap (kills Scabies)
5. Epsom Salt (draws stuff out the body when u soak in it)
6. Tea Tree Oil ( Kills Scabies?, They hate this oil)
7.Lavender Oil (They hate this oil)
8.Garlic (For her to swallow a clove or two per day, boosts her immune system, and she won’t taste as good to them)
9. D- Lenolate Olive leaf extract pills ( help her body fight them off from inside)
10.Neem Oil ( kill these things)
11. Dr. Bronner’s Coconut Oil ( to moisturize her skin and be the carrier oil
12. 365 Brand lavender Shampoo
13. 365 Brand Lavender Conditioner
14. Borax
I purchased the sulfur soap at GNC, D-lenolate online, Borax at Walmart and the rest at Whole Foods. Also Diapers.com under the soap tab has essential oils for cheaper and they deliver for free if you order $50 worth
My game plan:
*Add drops of Lavender Oil to Mrs. Meyers all purpose spray, Spray the car, mattresses.
*Wash all clothes and linens Daily in Lavener laundry soap Add borax in washer
* Sprinkle Borax on carpet and vaccum (wear a mask you don’t want to inhale this)
* Spray carpet with Mrs. Meyers lavendar Spray
*Have my daughter take a warm / cool shower wash hair with lavender shamp. and add tea tree oil to Conditioner.
* Soak in a warm/ cool bath for 25 Mins I added Epsom Salt, Neem Oil, Coconut oil, lavender, & Tea tree oil
* Washed with Sulfur soap and a little neem on wash cloth ( used a different washcloth for infected areas) Used it all over her body
* I had her air dry and then added Neem oil Directly to the effected areas
* I mixed Coconut, neem, Lavender, Tea tree oil in a small bowl and had her put it all over her body and at the bottom of her scalp
* We will repeat this 2-3 times per day (yup i pulled her out of school for this) and everytime we will wash the towels, clothes, sheets

I hope I smother these things it’s heartbreaking. Oh yeah and benadryl is helping her with the itch. Hopefully I can keep them away from the baby. Good luck to you all!!!! I will keep you posted. Also to prevent infesting me and the baby I mixed coconut oil with a few drops of tea tree and put it on us daily.. i hope it works

Cutting to the point: When I took my son to the doctor, and mentioned scabies he took a look and asked the usual did you change soaps, lotions, detergents etc. questions and basically blew me off. Anyway to make a long story short,we had it before, got rid of it for about six months and now have it again. I work at a school, I’m pretty sure thats where it came from. A couple of my students where infected pretty badly. Anyway when disinfecting, cleaning etc. make sure as previously mentioned to clean ( I used bleach and water) the seat in your car, the chair at work, your lanyards, pillows, etc…

I even cleaned necklaces and scarves, hats anything I could think of. I am not an advocate for any particular product, I just wanted to get rid of those things. I did all of the initial cleaning and then every morning and evening I would spray my bedding with Ark Naturals Neem protect spray. An all natural pet spray which claims to be human quality and who follow good manufacturing practices. I also sprinkled baking soda on my mattress and steam cleaned the mattress and the carpet. I purchased the scabies killer stuff on line and bathed my children in the neem, tea tree, and lavender oils.

One other thing I found to relieve the itch is the trader joe Tea Tree Tingle body wash, conditioner, shampoo, anything that was handy. Not only did we shower with the body wash, anytime the kids itch I slather some on that location and the itch is relieved. I don’t know if it’s okay to put body wash or shampoo or conditioner on dry skin as a remedy, but I know for sure that the scabies aren’t good for us. I also purchased the dimaceous (spell check) earth stuff and put it on the furniture, floor etc. I am itching as I type, but I just apply the scabies killer to the areas and the itch stops.

I by the way don’t have any of the usual infection areas, but I itch none the less and tingle all over. I have a minimal number of bumps, but again plenty of itching, though never enough to keep me up all night. This really sucks to say the least. I look forward to trying the olive oil. Thanks for the tips.

My newly graduated Nurse Practitioner diagnosed me with Scabies, I did 2 treatment of the Cream with no relief, I have the itch only on my buttocks area and a small breakout on my foot. It is not spreading or getting better, yesterday I saw the Nurse Practitioner again and she prescribed me a Medrol dose pack and now says she is not sure it is scabies! I have disinfected my bedding, clothing, shoes, even re-washing items that were washed. No one else in my family has the ‘rash’. I have heard that Lime juice and hydrogen peroxide soaks help, does anyone know or has anyone heard anything about this natural treatment????
