4. Tea tree oil

Tea tree oil has been known for being both antifungal and antibacterial, making it an effective scabies treatment. To prevent skin sensitivity, dilute tea tree oil with carrier oil (such as coconut oil or olive oil). Apply the mixture liberally to the affected regions.

5. Neem Oil

Neem oil, which comes from the neem tree, naturally repels insects and is effective against scabies mites. Neem oil is applied to troubled regions after being blended with a carrier oil. Before removing it with water, let it sit for several hours.
