Emu oil is anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial with a unique ability to easily and quickly penetrate multiple layers of skin. Studies have shown that emu oil could slow aging and thinning of the skin by 15-30%. The list of skin conditions successfully responding to emu oil include acne, age spots, burns, keloids, rashes, stretch marks, scars, and wrinkles.
Ten year Australian clinical studies have found emu oil to be useful for:
Bruising and Muscle Pain: Emu oil provides significant benefit to recent bruising and muscle pain where injury is relatively superficial. Massaged, post-exercise muscle strains are reduced due to anti- inflammatory action.
Burns: Early use of emu oil promotes faster healing with less pain and scarring.
Eczema: Significant reduction of irritation and inflammation compared to other topicals.
Insect Bites: Sting and itching is greatly reduced due to the anti-inflammatory properties.
Joints: Reduce pain, swelling and stiffness where joint is close to the skin surface (hands, feet, elbows, knees).
Keloids: Anti-inflammatory action of oil prevents formation of keloid tissue and significantly reduced recent scarring.
Skin Graft: Skin graft donor sites heal with less pain and scarring.
Wounds: Emu Oil applied to epithelialised wounds appears to reduce scar tissue formation and the anti-inflammatory properties soothes post-surgical wounds.
Animal Use: Skin conditions on animals may be treated the same as humans. Use for muscle soreness in racing or show dogs, cats and horses.
