Emu oil has been used by the natives of Australia for
thousands of years. It continues to be used today for burns, wounds, cuts,
bruises, and as a pain reliever for bone, muscle, and joints disorders. Its
penetrating capability cannot be challenged. The ability to carry other
substances with it allows emu oil to achieve quite
extraordinary results with most skin disorders as well as arthritic pains
and joint stiffness.
While FDA regulations exclude any claims of 'cures', the
results give testimony as to the power of emu oil. Many individuals with
eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis have found that some of the discomfort can
be overcome with the topical use of emu oil and products based on emu oil.
The remainder of this page is devoted to emu oil and its properties.
Check out the
emu study
and
look for additional studies as they are made available.
Emu oil lacks phospholipids and the human skin is
phospholipid deficient. This explains the transdermal properties of emu oil.
Thus, when emu oil is mixed with herbs known for their
ability of acting on skin
or muscle-joint problems, the results can be extraordinary.
Another important property of emu oil
is that it has been discovered to be bacteriostatic, which means that emu oil does not promote the growth of bacteria. Emu Oil is both hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic.
This explains why emu oil has such an extremely low irritation on skin and is
not pore-clogging
Emu oil, unlike other ingredients
used in the cosmetic industry, does not have the tendency to clog up pores. In
fact, comedogencity (pore clogging) tests have shown that emu oil has a score of
less than 1.
Laboratory testing has shown emu oil to have the same degree of
irritability as water when applied to skin.
An analysis of emu oil by a
professor at Auburn University showed that emu oil contains a high level of
linolenic acid, a substance known to ease the pains of muscles and joints. The
study also showed that emu oil contains oleic acid, which is good for local
anti-inflammatory problems.
Many cosmetic and pharmaceutical
organizations are researching emu oil for yet another important property, liposomes. Liposomes are highly penetrating to human skin. When health enhancing
herbs are combined with emu oil, the presence of liposomes can make amazing
results.
Veterinarians are discovering how
well emu oil works with animals, especially horses. The skin
of a horse is very similar
to that of humans. Since the oil is bacteriostatic and retards bacterial growth, it keeps the wounds moist
while transporting other ingredients deep under the skin.
Some doctors have mixed liquid aspirin
with emu oil to further increase the pain relief for
arthritis, muscles, and joints.
This page is not intended to offer medical
advice. It is
intended to give information to those people who suffer
from muscle-joint pain and skin
problems and might be helped by using emu oil.
