Description

Emu oil is an oil made from the Emu. It has been used for over 1000 years by the Australian aborigines in the treatment of burns, cut wounds, bruises and as a pain reliever for bone muscle and joints disorders. Emu oil is approximately 70% unsaturated fatty acids. The largest component is oleic acid – a mono-unsaturated fatty acid. Emu oil also contains about 20% linoleic (Omega 6) acid and 1-2% linolenic (Omega 3) acid. There is some evidence to suggest that the oil may have medicinal benefit. It is frequently used topically to soften skin and is found in ointments for dry cracked heels. Emu oil has been shown in studiesto aid in reducing scar formation in healed burned wounds, muscle sprain and arthritis, due to its strong anti-inflammatory properties. Emu oil is a complete neutral lipid, since emu oil lacks phospholipid, making it highly penetrating to the skin.
In

Australia Dr

Hobday stated “that from clinical experience with Emu Oil, it becomes obvious that its two major actions were its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to penetrate the skin. In addition to cosmetic uses, laboratory experiments and analysis of Emu Oil both in Australia and in the US have confirmed that Emu Oil has the ability to reduce inflammation of the joints. Emu Oil naturally contains a high level of linolenic acid (a substance know to ease muscle ache and joint pain) and oleic acid, which provides a local anti-inflammatory effect. Emu Oil has been frequently tested by government and private laboratories, indicating no steroids, hormones or even bacterial when suitably tested." Various studies in America have resulted in Emu Oil being used as part of a regular treatment programme for people suffering from arthritis, muscle and joint injuries with surprising results. The oil is very economical compared with regular arthritis medicines, and appears to have fewer side effects.
The high presence of oleic acid in the Emu Oil may be one of the reasons that it is able to penetrate the skin to such a degree and at the same time be able to carry active compounds through the skin where they can have an effect on the body. Research demonstrates that the Emu possesses unique oil which bears closer scrutiny as a valuable commodity in a marketplace that favours natural, environmentally friendly products and demands effective relief with out side effects.
Emu Oil has been reported to have significant anti-inflammatory effects. Experiments have been conducted in America to evaluate Emu Oil as a lubricant and an aid in reducing scar formation in healed burned wounds.
