I am contacting you about a health issue that my girlfriend's mom is having... She has had "Body Lice" (pediculus humanus corporis) for a while now, and she has went to the doctor a couple times but they don't seem to know exactly what to do other than give her special soaps to use... She used to work in the home health care field but can't as long as she has this issue. My question to you is do you have any suggestions for what to do about this ailment? Soaps, teas, balms etc. Anything that would work would be appreciated

As within, so without! I would suggest she cleanses/detoxify her temple. She should perform the Full Body Cleanse (see article "Sea Salt Soak" on the site) and use tea tree, niaouli, and eucalyptus oil in the water. Remember, as within, so without, the external reflects the inner, i'll be doing an article soon on lice!
