Being a natural, essential oil, Emu Oil is automatically an environmentally friendly product and central to a healthy lifestyle, containing, as it does, essential fatty acids, which activate the production of prostaglandins. These are hormone-like substances, which play a vital part in body functions such as heart-rate, blood pressure, blood clotting and conception. Without Essential Fatty Acids the body’s immune response will not function efficiently. Modern humankind suffers a deficiency of fatty acids; it is one of our most widespread nutritional shortcomings. This represents a serious potential health risk for children in particular since fatty acids are so crucial for proper growth and development. As well as being one of the largest natural sources for Vitamin A and E, Emu Oil also contains omega 3, 6, and 9.

Emu Oil is versatile; it can play a part in beauty products such as cosmetics, soaps and shampoos or, equally effectively, in analgesics. Emu Oil is not only hypo-allergenic but also non-comedogenic - it does not clog pores.

Research has shown that Emu Oil helps to combat the most obvious signs of aging. It thickens the skin, (by as much as 14%, even in the elderly) and is widely used, medically, to treat pressure sores. Long known for its healing and penetrating properties, Emu Oil is a natural emollient. Further recent standard medical use has been for relieving the symptoms of arthritis, rheumatism, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, athletes foot, preventing scars, treating eczema and for general pain management. Emu Oil is an anti-inflammatory; which helps to reduce swelling and stiffness in joints and to reduce muscle pain and bruising. In addition, it has both anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.
