Scabies is a skin ailment that causes very small red pimples that are very hard to get rid of, and it is contagious.  Scabies appears just like a rash and in reality are little viruses that are active in the skin. 

Some persons use creams and various ointments to get rid of it.  However, a rubbing made from this plant can go a long way in killing these critters.  Repeating this method in few days is recommended to kill these viruses.

Also, as a precaution, it is suggested that you wash all your clothes in very hot water and dry them in a dryer. If possible, sanitize the bedding that you sleep on, and to get a better result, sanitize it on both sides.

Take greater knapweed in decoction or rubbings on skin to heal ailments.
