The aborigines of Australia have long known (over 1000 years) what the
rest of the world is just beginning to realize in the last decade or so...
Emu Oil can help ease pain, aching muscles, sore joints, swelling,
inflammation, burns, headache pain and various other problems. Emu oil
is approximately 70% unsaturated fatty acids. The largest component is
oleic acid – a mono-unsaturated fatty acid, it also contains about 20%
linoleic (Omega 6) acid and 1-2% linolenic (Omega 3) acid. It is an
effective anti-inflammatory. The potency of the anti-inflammatory
effect is similar to ibuprofen without the negative side-affects
frequently common with traditional prescription or corticosteroid based
anti-inflammatory medications.
Emu Oil is a healthy, complex, topical oil, which contains a natural
anti-inflammatory. It is trans-dermal and a natural emollient. In
addition to reducing swelling and stiffness in joints, it can reduce
bruising and muscle pain. Both professional sports trainers and players
recognize the benefits. As an additional benefit reports are indicating
that it can help combat the effects of the aging process and research
has shown that it can thicken the skin, which in turn can reduce the
appearance of aging.
Since this product has no aroma and does not clog pores, it is highly
moisturizing, and a natural skin softener with rejuvenating properties
(it has been shown to reduce the depth and length of fine lines &
wrinkles ). It is also non greasy and highly penetrating and has been
demonstrated to be the fastest and most penetrating carrier into the
skin, making it an excellent trans-dermal carrier for any other added
moisturizers or therapeutic ingredients.
Latest research is showing that diabetic wound care which has
long been a challenge to doctors who struggle to heal wounds and
prevent infection. Due to poor circulation, wounds in the extremities
take longer to heal for diabetics. Wounds that start out small can
eventually lead to amputation. Even dry skin can be dangerous to
diabetics. Dry skin can lead to cracks that become sores.
ACNE
Mix 1 to 3% of essential oil (tea tree, cedarwood, rosemary) to emu oil and rub on affected area.
HAIR LOSS
We recommend massaging a small amount
of emu oil into the hairless or thinning area of the scalp three times per
day, if possible. In the evening or on weekends, apply a greater amount of
emu oil to the scalp and leave on for 20-30 minutes, then wash hair with
a mild shampoo. If your hair follicles were in a sleep state,
you should notice signs of regrowth in 30-90
days.
ECZEMA
Eczema suffers often complain that moisturisers
available
on the market irritate the skin. Recent reports indicate that Emu oil
can
provide significant reductions of irritation and inflammation of the
skin.
It makes an excellent follow-up to steroid treatment.
KELOIDS
Massaging Emu Oil twice daily appears to
significantly
reduce keloid scarring and helps prevent the formation of keloid tissue.
BURNS
The use of Emu Oil on early blistering of burns
appears
to promote faster healing with less scars and pain.
DONOR SITES IN SKIN GRAFTING
The donor site after skin grafting appears to
benefit
from the application of Emu Oil again reducing pain and scarring.
JOINTS
Pain, swelling and stiffness of joints close to the
skin surface such as hands, feet and elbows have responded to Emu oil
when
massaged two to three times a day. A home made compress of the oil,
(e.g.
a piece of cloth or a few tissues soaked in the oil and wrapped around
the joint over night) has been reported to be very effective.
GROWING PAINS
Children with growing pains? Massage Emu oil into
the affected area before going to sleep.
BRUISING AND MUSCLE PAIN
Emu Oil appears to provide significant benefit to
recent bruising and muscle pain where injury is relatively superficial.
Use the massage and compress combination. Sports related muscle pains
can
benefit with a post-exercise Emu oil massage.
RECENT WOUNDS
Emu Oil applied to epithelialised wounds appears to
reduce scar tissue formation. The anti-inflammatory action seems to
soothe
wounds after surgery. Emu Oil in its pure state has been tested not to
grow organisms. It is safe to use on any open area. It can
significantly
speed up the healing process and reduce scarring.
ANIMAL USE
Emu Oil is also effective in the treatment of
animals.
Skin conditions on animals may be treated the same as humans.
