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.^[1] The product was developed by and is manufactured by Tec Labs in Albany, Oregon.^[2][3]

Licefreee! gel was first marketed in 1999 as an alternative to delousing treatments that used the insecticides pyrethrum and permethrin.^{[citation needed]} However, claims of any homeopathic preparation's efficacy beyond the placebo effect are unsupported by the collective weight of scientific and clinical evidence.^[4][5]

[edit] 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.^[6] 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. ^[7]
