This is what I do. Not sure if it is considered natural. Remove any dying leaves and debris. Any leaves that are super infested, trim away if you can. Then I take the plant and spray it off in the sink or shower. Under each leaf is important. Then I put isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle and drench the plant. Let it drip then rinse. Then I put a little dawn dish soap and isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle and drench the plant and let it dry out of the sun. I follow up spray every three days with the soap mixture for about two or three weeks or until gone. Has been a successful approach so far.
