Abstract:

Objective To observe the effect of the volatile oil of Manchurian Wildginger on the killing of demodex in vitro. Methods The volatile oil of Manchurian Wildginger and its diluents of 1∶2, 1∶4, 1∶8, 1∶16 and 1∶32 proportion were used to kill demodex in vitro, and the saline was used as control group. The mites were collected with adhesive cellophane tape technique. The killing effect on demodex with the different con⁃centrations volatile oils was observed under microscope. Results The pure volatile oil had high effect in killing D.f and D.b in vitro, and the killing effect to the D.f was better with statistical significance (t=9.172,P＜0.05).However, the killing effect showed declining obviously with the increasing of dilutes multiple. Conclusion The pure volatile oil of Manchurian Wildginger has favorable effect on the killing of demodex in vitro.
