The quality of life of most people is growing steadily, sanitary and hygienic standards are improving, but they cannot completely get rid of the parasites that accompany humanity. Many parents are perplexed when their children bring lice on their clean hair, starting to attend kindergartens or school. One of the means of combating head lice is cheremic water.
This drug appeared thanks to the centuries-old positive experience of its use in traditional medicine. Water infusion of hellebore Lobel was used to protect against harmful insects back in the days of Great Rome. In modern medicine, cherical water has established itself as an antiparasitic agent in the treatment of pediculosis.
Lobel's hellebore is a poisonous plant from the leaf to the root, contains potent steroid alkaloids, which can lead to severe poisoning and damage to the central nervous system. Cherry water has the same properties, but less pronounced , the use of which requires special care. The drug is intended for external use only. It can not be used during breastfeeding, as poisonous substances can enter the baby’s body and cause severe poisoning with mother’s milk. With great care, cherical water is used during pregnancy, under the constant supervision of a doctor. In this case, the tincture is prescribed with confidence that it will be more beneficial for the mother than harm for the unborn child.

It is especially necessary to moisten with a solution those places of the scalp where these insects are found in the greatest amount (occipital region, behind the ears).
