So glad to find a forum that advocates using natural medicine. I have a 175 lb Anatolian Shepherd with ear mites. He absolutely will NOT let me near his ears. He gets aggressive and due to his size, I’m not willing to get bitten 🙂 I’m wondering if anyone has had success with this type of scenario. I’m also open to using chemical treatments if I need to. Thanks for any help!

Sounds like he’d likely need sedation for treatment. I don’t know of anything herbal that’d knock him out sufficiently to be safe if he’s that problematic.
There are some long acting ear meds that can be put in and will treat him for a week or two.
Also, chronic ear infections in dogs are almost always secondary to allergies. Have your vet look into that as well.
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
