🌿 Natural Remedies for Demodex Mites
1. Tea Tree Oil Eyelid Wipes (for eyelashes/blepharitis)
- 1 drop tea tree oil (100%)
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil or olive oil (carrier oil)
- Mix well.
- Dip a clean cotton swab, squeeze out excess, and gently wipe eyelid margins (keep out of the eye).
- Use once daily at night.
Studies show 5–10% tea tree oil solutions are safe for eyelids and still effective at killing mites.
2. Clove Oil Skin Solution (for face/rosacea-like symptoms)
- 1 drop clove oil
- 1 teaspoon jojoba oil (or another light carrier oil)
- Apply thinly to affected skin (not eyelids) once daily.
⚠️ Test first on a small area. Clove oil is strong but highly effective against mites.
3. Sulfur Mask (traditional anti-mite)
- 1 teaspoon sulfur powder (can buy online)
- 2 teaspoons aloe vera gel
- Mix into a paste, apply to face for 10–15 minutes, then rinse.
- Use 2–3 times per week.
4. Neem Oil Spot Treatment
- Pure neem oil
- Dab a small amount on affected areas before bed.
- Wash off in the morning.
- Neem has natural anti-parasitic properties.
5. Soothing Herbal Rinse (for daily cleansing)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 teaspoon dried chamomile or calendula flowers
- Steep 10 minutes, cool completely.
- Use a cotton pad to cleanse face/eyelids morning and night.
(Helps reduce inflammation and keep skin clean.)
✅ Extra Tips for Results:
- Wash pillowcases/towels daily in hot water.
- Avoid oily creams at night (mites feed on oils).
- Stick with remedies consistently — it can take 4–6 weeks to break their life cycle.
