• Oily Scalp/Hair • Step #1 - STOP USING DETERGENT SHAMPOOS • Step #2 - Use any of our shampoo bars.  It might take a couple of weeks before your scalp gets the message to stop over-producing.  Just wash with a shampoo bar whenever your hair feels like it needs it and you'll notice that you'll be able to go longer between washes once your scalp adjusts.

• Scabies / Mites • Sulphur Shampoo (use as soap on any affected areas)  

• The following are not Emily's Homestead products but I recommend these steps as you try to rid any infestations:  

-Change your bedsheets daily and your clothes and towels after every use.      

-Wash all linens/clothes with hot water and dry on regular or high heat.  

-Heat therapy: Try to sit in a sauna or hot tub (that uses bleach products) every day.  

-Wash with our sulphur bar.  

-Spray yourself, mattress, pillows and upholstered furniture you sit on with an enzyme product like Kleen Free Naturally at least once a day.  

**NOTE**Research all of these tips for yourself to determine what will work best for you.  I'm no expert; I'm only sharing because these are the steps that finally worked for me (Emily) once I realized that I'd contracted scabies from a hotel on a  trip in 2022.  It's a very stigmatizing and miserable condition that can affect ANYONE, no matter how clean you are.  If this is you, I see you and I hope that the above routine can help you past this miserable time.  It usually takes at least 2-4 weeks of this routine to notice it getting better - stick with it and good luck, my friend.
