The Wonders Of Emu Oil October 2005 Background Emu oil has been used for centuries in Australia for a variety of medicinal purposes. Within the past decade, the "secrets of Emu oil" have caught on in our country as well. Research has shown Emu oil to be non-toxic, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-microbial. Pain Relief Emu oil is believed to be beneficial in the treatment of many medical conditions. The oil is an excellent for pain relief. It is used as a topical cream for many painful conditions. People suffering from peripheral neuropathy have used Emu oil with great success. Used topically, the oil can temporarily relieve symptoms of pain, burning, numbness, and tingling. Emu oil is used to ease pain and stiffness associated with arthritis and muscle pain. Pain, swelling, and stiffness of joints close to the skin surface—such as the hands, feet, and elbows—have responded to Emu oil when massaged two or three times a day. Moisterizer Emu oil is an excellent emollient and is used to moisturize and repair rough-and-dry skin. Many diabetics have particular problems with dry-and-irritated skin and respond extremely well to the oil. Emu oil is non-greasy, gentle, and highly penetrating. Other Uses Emu oil has many other applications. It is also used for burns, abrasions, eczema, and scarring. Emu oil is safe, natural, and non-invasive. The medical community is now recognizing the importance of more natural treatments in light of the many adverse effects of some prescription medications. |
