Natural Treatment for Scabies

Natural treatment for scabies helps in preventing the spread of the infection to other humans. There are many herbs that are useful for treating scabies because most of the herbs contain fossil shell dust that is fatal to insects and harmless to human beings.

Here are some of the natural and herbal remedies for scabies:

  • Extract juice from apricot leaves and apply on the affected areas of your skin.


    This will help to reduce the marks and heal the symptoms of scabies.
  • Prepare a paste of margosa leaves, turmeric powder and mustard oil. Apply the prepared paste over the lesions and allow it to dry.


    Take a bath after an hour to heal the lesions produced due to scabies.
  • Grind the dried bark of peepul tree and strain. Sprinkle the powder on the infected areas.
  • Drumstick leaves are also beneficial for treating scabies because of their anti-bacterial properties. Extract juice from these leaves and blend it with sesame seed oil and water. Boil the blend and after colling apply the final prepared paste on the infected areas.
  • Wash well the clothing and bedding of the person suffering from scabies and rinse with hot water.
  • Avoid sharing anything that is touched or used by the person infected.
  • Avoid any kind of direct contact with the person suffering from scabies because this infection is contagious.
