Composition, action
Hellebore tincture for people is a multifunctional remedy that is used to strengthen hair, stimulate its growth, get rid of dandruff and skin fungus. The same drug can get rid of lice.
The active components are alkaloids. Alcohol enhances the effect and promotes deep penetration into the body of insects. Toxins penetrate the body of lice through the chitinous cover and spiracles. Within a few minutes, the poison reaches the internal organs. Within half an hour of exposure, adults and nymphs of different ages die.
On a note!
According to some reports, hellebore water not only helps remove lice, but also kills nits. Experts say this is not so. The dense shell of the egg protects the larvae from the effects of hellebore water. It does not even weaken the structure of the adhesive substance with which nits are attached to the hair.

Rarely, after applying hellebore water to the hair, symptoms of allergy and hypersensitivity to the drug may occur. This manifests itself in the form of erythema, burning, itching of the skin. If such a reaction occurs during the use of the product, the procedure is stopped immediately, the solution is washed off the head with warm water and shampoo.

Greetings to all!
Lyrics
I am a student at a pedagogical university, and this is where it all began. They once sent us to practice at school. A week after I started practicing, I changed my shampoo, and during those same days my head started to itch terribly. A week later - and all this time I thought it was an allergy to shampun - I went to the doctor, told him everything, he told me to donate blood for a general test and come back in a couple of days. When she arrived, he said it was an allergy and prescribed ointment. I never looked at the head.
Fortunately for myself, I decided to get my hair cut, went to the hairdresser, when I left her satisfied, she came out after me and quietly told me that she saw lice on my hair, and that now it’s both here and there, Her son recently had them too, and she advised me to buy shampoo and not worry. My happiness knew no bounds, because lice are not an allergy.
After the hairdresser, I immediately rushed to the pharmacy to beg for something for my poor little head, shampoos were too expensive for me, so I bought Pediculen Ultra lotion. When I got home I smeared myself with it. The next day the scabies became much easier, BUT the practice was not over! A week later, in the morning I noticed a crawling insect on my bed - it was a lice. Most likely, I brought it on my clothes from school, and it didn’t have time to attach itself to the hair, it only managed to bite the body. Here I had to buy lotion again, which was not so cheap, so I opened the Internet, where I found reviews that hellebore water successfully fights head lice, which costs a penny and does not damage the hair.

Application
For lice
The product is applied to the roots and length of the hair.
How it works: hellebore is a poison that successfully fights living creatures; alcohol—hellebore is infused with it—breaks down the shell of nits (lice larvae), which eliminates the problem for good.
I recommend making a similar mask several times.
We lubricate our hair, put on a cellophane cap - I have a bag - and insulate my head (I put on a hat, it’s very comfortable). Keep it on your head for about 30 minutes.
I recommend repeating after 5 days.
After a while, we wash our hair as usual (with shampoo/soap, whatever).
As a hair product
We smear the roots of the hair, it is better to lubricate the ends of the hair with oil, since the alcohol contained in the tincture dries out the hair. For those who already have a dry scalp, I do not recommend this product; it is better to make nourishing masks.
Leave on for 30 minutes and wash off as usual.
Feelings while using the mask
When this mask is on my head, I clearly feel a rush of blood, a burning sensation in the wounds (in my case these were parasite bites), the use of hellebore water on irritated and injured skin is not recommended (I didn’t care, the lice were so stuck).
Contraindications.
Hypersensitivity to the drug; pregnancy, breastfeeding period, children under 2.5 years.
Remember that any product can only be used after an allergy test! And even more so in this case!
Hellebore is a perennial plant with highly poisonous properties! This water can cause not only allergies, but also
Side effects.
Allergic reactions in the form of skin itching, erythema; burning, tingling or tingling sensation at the site of application of the drug.
Be careful, take care of yourself and your loved ones, apply this product carefully.
I give hellebore a 5.
- For the price,
- for the fact that she really fights against parasites
- Easy to use
- Naturalness
I don’t see any point in putting a minus because the liquid is poisonous, everyone chooses to buy this or that product, it’s not the fly agaric’s fault that it’s poison

- Soak a washcloth with the product and apply to each strand of hair. The hair on the back of the head, forehead, and temporal region is treated especially carefully. In these places, parasites lay nits and feed. Try to avoid contact with the scalp.
- After careful processing of each strand, a special plastic cap or bag is put on top.
- You can tie a towel over the bag. This procedure will ensure the absence of oxygen and the rapid reaction of toxic components.

Hair should be slightly dried, dead lice should be combed out, and nits should be removed with a special fine-toothed comb.
