Grow Youthful: How to Slow Your Aging and Enjoy Extraordinary Health

Ailment: Mites (demodex mites)

Remedy: Cloves / clove oil


You can buy whole cloves in a supermarket or Asian store. Clove oil is available in some health food shops, but is sold more widely as an essential oil. If buying the essential oil, make sure it is made from real cloves and is pure.

Clove oil is one of the richest sources of antioxidants. Place a single drop under the tongue once per day.

Clove oil is an anaesthetic and antiseptic, making it particularly suitable for toothache and infections.

YES
I have tried half a cup of olive oil with 20 drops of tea tree oil, 20 drops of clove oil and 20 drops of lavender oil mixed together and applied to my body. For my hair half a cup apple cider vinegar with 20 drops tea tree, 20 drops clove oil, and 20 drops lavender oil. Leave on hair for about 15 minutes then rinse off. I have mixed white vinegar with lavender oil in spray bottle and spray self when they are biting.

How come no one answers the questions asked? Specifically how did you use this and in what proportions? I've been on many sites re mites and people talk about what they use that was successful but very few people answer the questions of how much, and in what proportion.

Do NOT put pure tea tree oil (or clove oil) onto eye lids, it will burn the tissue and cross through the fine epithelium on the eyelid into the conjunctiva. Use tea tree shampoo on the lids, debride with a cotton tip that has been soaked in bicarbonate soda ( 1/4 teaspoon in 50mL warm water). If you ever get any oil into the eye, do not use water, tea tree oil is not water miscible and the oil will spread over more of the conjunctiva exacerbating any burn, instead neutralize with natural yoghurt then rinse in cool water.

YES
I cured it with Clove Oil and Peppermint Oil, though I truly believe it can be killed with Clove Oil and Tea Tree Oil. This cure takes about a week and Clove Oil actually KILLS THE EGGS! I put the oil on the backs of my arms for about a week and every bump is gone! I have been dealing with this problem for 10 years!!!!! I wish I could post this everywhere, but, I'd have to register for so many group forums.

Hi I am wanting to cure my husband and I from scabies naturally. I think we have caught it at very early stages - maybe a week, so we might be lucky to get rid of them before anything gets too bad. My partner is itchy and has the dots and burrows etc.. and I am not really itchy but feel tickly around the face, ears and inside my eyelids. We have purchased neem oil, tea tree oil, and clove oil as well as almond oil to mix with them. I also bought disinfectant to wash the house, clothes and linen and then dry them in the dryer. I don't want to buy anything else, I want to try and make do with what I have. I am just wondering, in what order would you put the oils on and what ratios do I mix, would you mix them all together, or do a different one everyday? I am also wondering if these oils are safe for the testicles, vagina, anus, eyelids (inside) and ears? and if so how to apply? Thank you!
