Australian Emu oil is a natural pain relieving, anti-inflammatory, moisturising oil with a PH balance very close to human skin. It is a completely organic oil made from the fat of the Emu skin.
Emu oil has the ability to penetrate deeply into the skin encouraging the healing of the ailment from within, and has been used for centuries by the Australian Aborigines as a treatment for muscle and joint problems and skin irritation. The Aborigines collected the oil by hanging the Emu skin from a tree or wrapping it around the affected area. The heat of the sun would then turn the Emu fat to liquid, which in turn improved the speed of the absorption into the skin.
Australian Emu oil contains a high level of linolenic acid, a substance known to temporarily ease the discomfort of muscle and joint pain. It also lacks phospholipids (fatty acids) making it highly penetrating. Emu oil does not clog the pores, allowing it to penetrate the skin quickly and is able to travel deep into the skin. The anti-inflammatory properties of the oil are felt directly in the area of the body where the irritation occurs.
Despite its ancient roots, Emu oil's natural nourishing, moisturising and anti-inflammatory properties make it more relevant to our health today than ever. Today the oil is refined for commercial use in cosmetics such as eye creams, moisturizers, and hair products as well as in its natural form as an effective treatment for arthritis, rheumatism, painful joints, and swollen muscles. Australian Emu oil is also successful in the treatment of a variety of skin conditions such as burns and eczema, and has the ability to quickly heal sprains and bruises caused by sports and other activities. In addition, Emu oil is also highly effective on all types of burns from sunburn to first or second degree burns, rapidly easing the pain (in most cases inside 2 to 3 minutes) and considerably reducing the scarring and blistering. Because it is an entirely natural product, non-toxic and does not aggravate the skin in any way, Emu oil has also been recommended as an effective hair loss treatment for the many people who suffer from the natural forms of hair loss such as Alopecia.
Pure Australian Emu oil is nature's salve for poorly skin. With all its natural pain relieving, anti-inflammatory, moisturising and stimulating hair-growth properties it is little wonder that Emu oil has been hailed as “The Wonder Oil from Down Under”.
