LiceGuard – The Non-Toxic, Safe Treatment That Really Works!

Healthy Child

Tuesday, June 16, 2009

It’s estimated that 6 million elementary school children contract head lice, or pediculosis, every year.

Parents are usually desperate to eradicate the dreaded (and pretty disgusting!) bugs as soon as possible. But most conventional treatments are based on a cocktail of industrial pesticides that instruct you to apply directly on the affected areas. In this case, your child’s head. Yes the pesticide goes on the area that houses their skull and brain. Wait a minute….

In our book, Gwyneth Paltrow encourages plain old common sense when its comes to pesticide exposure and our health. “When I would read about what pesticides do to insects and small animals, I thought, Why would I expose my child to that? It didn’t make sense.” Indeed, industrial pesticides have no business being near your child, especially near their most vital organs.

So what would be the safest and least-toxic way to get rid of these pesky pests? We turn to a fantastic product called LiceGuard, a complete non-toxic lice detection/killing/prevention line and ‘Trusted Partner’ of Healthy Child. All of their lice killing treatments are non-toxic, pesticide free, and reusable. And they’ve been proven 100% effective.

Two of our favorite products from LiceGuard are the Robi Comb and the Egg & Lice Combing Kit.

Robi Comb detects and destroys lice on contact simply by combing it through dry hair. When the electronic Robi Comb touches lice, they get zapped, die and are combed out of the hair. The process couldn’t be any easier!

The Egg & Lice Combing Kit employs their special Non-Toxic and Pesticide Free SAFE Lice Egg Remover Shampoo, which loosens the grip of lice, eggs, and nits on hair. You then comb out the pests using the Combing Kit. The shampoo has been proven to triple the amount of eggs and nits removed through combing.

All of Healthy Child’s ‘Trusted Partners’, including LiceGuard, manufacture products that are safe for your family’s health and better for the environment. We’ve held them to strict vetting processes and insist on complete accountability, so that you can rest assured the products you’re using are the best for your children. We’re definitely nit picky on that subject – pun intended.
