Basically, emu oil is a naturally complex compound whose composition is amazingly similar to the human skin. It contains high levels of linolenic acid, linoleic acid and oleic acid. Linolenic acid is known to ease muscle aches and joint pains, while oleic acid produces a local anti-inflammatory effect, and linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid the body cannot produce on its' own. Further, emu oils' lack of phospholipids allow it to easily penetrate the skin.
Emu oil has historically been, and is currently being used, when an all-natural topical product is desired for pain relief from arthritis, sore muscles, sunburn pain, insect bites and other minor skin irritations. Because of its highly efficient absorption rate, and lack of greasy residue or odor, the oil is a very effective in topical applications. In addition, the oil has proven to be a very effective carrier for other healing substances and medicines, and therefore, is often found as an active ingredient in skin and hair care products, medicinal ointments, topical creams, and dietary supplements.
The anti-inflammatory properties of emu oil when combined with aloe vera and taken internally has proven to be significant in relieving the pain of stomach ulcers, and gastrointestinal distress.
Veterinarians, animal hospitals and pet owners as well as sports teams, hospitals, physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and nursing homes are all using emu oil to relieve pain, speed healing, reduce scarring, and repair damaged or dry skin.
Professional sports teams that use the oil or oil based products in their training rooms are: The Boston Celtics, The New York Knicks, The Houston Oilers, The California Angels, The New York Giants and the Dallas Mavericks, to name a few.
Several major companies use emu oil as the base for a skin care line. Neiman-Marcus and JC Penney both sell a line of skin care based on emu oil. Donna Karan is the first major designer to develop a complete line of skin care products using emu oil. Sales the first year were so good, the company surpassed all others in private label skin care sales.
The American Emu Association (www.aea-emu.org) maintains an up-to-date database of all completed and ongoing research on emu oil. The industry magazine, Emu Today and Tomorrow (www.emutoday.com), publishes an annual booklet detailing current information on emu oil research as well as a list of companies and new products.
Emu oil has been used in treating humans and animals for a multitude of skin conditions, muscle and joint pain, and for the treatment of arthritis and rheumatism. The oil also promotes healing and reduces scarring after burns. Continued use in animals leaves coats, tails, and manes with a natural, healthy finish. Your pet will acquire a naturally healthy appearance. The skin and coat will take on a beautiful texture and your pet will most likely be free of common skin irritations.
