Coconut oil is the best thing I have tried so far. It takes time to work, but it is by far the safest, healthiest most effective treatment for scabies. Not saying that other things don't work, but coconut oil does everything right and even smells good! You can take it internally no problem as well as apply it topcally. Apply it liberally to the affected area(s) twice a day - after a shower and before bed. Other oils (orange, clove, neem etc) work well as repellents, but nothing clears them as well as VCO in my experience. Apply it and inspect the area 10-20 minutes later, you will see black/grey flecks appear near the scabs! Wipe them off with a disposable napkin or tissue, and dispose of it quickly. You will see a little bit of improvement every day.Replied by Pr (Houston, Texas) on 12/25/2012
I had scabies one time from handling invested fire wood. I read in the Young Living Essential Oil book rosemary and pepperment oils mixed together equally would kill them. It worked very well and in a few days all gone. Just rub it on. I also took food grade diatomaceous earth for any that got in my body or organs. Never had them again. Oh I did this several times a day and the scent is pleasant. Hope this helps.
