Emu Oil in Products

by Tiffany Neumann
Today we are looking for more and more ways to live healthier, longer, and more beautifully. Not only do we watch what we eat but we are also paying more attention to the skin care products we use that seep chemicals into our bodies. Sometimes it takes a reality check to realize the most perfect remedy to almost any skin care problem is right in front of us. Now is the time to rediscover the special benefits of Emu Oil.
For over 1,000 years, Australian Aborigines have known about the amazing healing properties naturally present in Emu Oil. Traditionally this oil was used to relieve inflammation of stiff, swollen joints, to help heal burns and wounds, as a remedy for skin irritations, and to soothe and moisturize dry, cracked skin. Through time, it has become evident that the oil has natural properties that aid in the
anti-aging process.
One hundred percent Emu Oil is made up completely of essential fatty acids including Omega 3 (Linolenic), Omega 6 (Linoleic), and Omega 9 (Oleic). It is the oil that is most like the oil our bodies produce and is the nutrition your skin needs. Every day our bodies are producing 300 billion new cells and each one of these cells needs essential fatty acids to build a strong cell wall.
Studies have shown that the oil penetrates through the epidermal layers of the skin down to the basal layer where it starts repairing, nourishing, and enhancing new cells. It is also antibacterial, hypo-allergenic, and non-comedogenic, so it will not clog the pores.
Omega 3 is a natural anti-inflammatory that is not only for sore muscles and stiff swollen joints, but also aids in reducing inflammation that occurs after many spa beauty treatments or facial surgeries. Surgeons have recommended it to their patients to reduce the inflammation after surgery and to accelerate healing and reduce the possibility of infection and scars. It will actually lighten or eliminate scars up to two years old. A growing number of other users including professional sports teams, chiropractors, massage therapists, aestheticians, and physical therapists are all reporting excellent results from using Emu Oil.
In addition to the soothing effects that the fatty acid esters have on the skin, it is also rich in anti-oxidants, which help slow down the aging process and in some ways will even reverse it. Small wonder, it’s a favorite among skin care and health care professionals
