What are the benefits of Emu Oil...                                                                                                Home

Research has demonstrated that the oil derived from the Emu is unique.
Thus, this oil bears closer scrutiny as a valuable commodity in a marketplace that favours natural,
environmentally friendly products and demands effective relief without side effects.
A combination of unique qualities gives Emu Oil its amazing effectiveness.

There are four main attributes of Emu Oil.

• The first is its penetration ability of human skin.
  The oil's composition and molecular structure let it penetrate the skin, rather than staying on the surface level.
  This is because the overall composition of Emu Oil is remarkably similar to the composition of human skin,
  which also makes it an excellent skin conditioner.
  This deep penetration permits a deep moisturizing effect and at the same time, supplies nutrition to the deeper skin layers.
  The oil is non-irritating and does not clog the pores (non-comedogenic), plus it resists the growth of bacteria.
   
• Secondly, Emu Oil helps to improve skin health.
  To understand how it does this, a brief explanation of the makeup of our skin is needed. Our skin is made up of layers.
  The first layer, the epidermis, is joined or tethered to the second layer, the dermis, by what is called rete pegs.
  Rete pegs help give skin its tautness and elasticity. As we age, our skin gets thinner and the rete pegs disappear.
  This causes the top layer to sag and wrinkles result.
  Emu Oil has been shown to increase skin thickness up to 30% and help these rete pegs to grow back,
  which means that it can slow and even reverse the aging process in skin.
   
• The third attribute of Emu Oil is it's anti-inflammatory ability.
  This fine tunes the body's healing response and reduces inflammation, which in turn allows quicker skin recovery with less scarring.
   
• Fourthly, Emu Oil produces relief from pain.
  This relief can be superficial as aiding in wound and burn healing, shingles, cold sores, or deeper, as in a sprained ankle or arthritis.

Of particular interest is the fact that Emu Oil contains a variety of essential fatty acids (EFA's),
including linoleic acid (Omega-6 - as high as 24% total content) and alpha linolenic acid (Omega-3 - as high as 2% total content).
These EFA's are used by the body to manufacture the all-important hormones that regulate many body processes,
which could be the underlying reason for Emu Oil's healing qualities:
