Licefreee!
Licefreee! is the name of a topical non-toxic homeopathic preparation claimed to be of benefit for infestation by ectoparasites, specifically lice, in humans. The product uses sodium chloride, called by the name "natrum muriaticum", diluted to homeopathic levels in a gel. The product was developed by and is manufactured by Tec Labs in Albany, Oregon.
Licefreee! gel was first marketed in 1999 as an alternative to delousing treatments that used the insecticides pyrethrum and permethrin. However, claims of any homeopathic preparations efficacy beyond the placebo effect are unsupported by the collective weight of scientific and clinical evidence.
Sponsorship
In 2006 Licefreee! sponsored The United States PTA's “Keeping Kids Lice Free” program to help schools comply with the American Academy of Pediatrics’ guidelines for headlice prevention and control. The manufacturer supplies schools and medical professionals with educational videos on how to conduct a headlice check program as well as how to identify and treat infestations.
