Emu oil is a natural oil which has been used for generations for a variety of purposes. Like many traditional remedies, it has a long list of conditions traditionally associated with it. And like any substance that has been used in traditional medicine, the claims made for it have not all been proven by modern scientific testing.

Sometimes customers try emu oil and tell us that it is a miraculous cure for all kinds of things, and sometimes customers say that they are disappointed because emu oil turned out not to be miraculous. We don’t say that emu oil does miracles and will cure all that ails you or change your life. We say that we supply high quality pure emu oil that includes vitamins, minerals, and the essential fatty acids Omega 3 and 6.

We recommend emu oil for skin and hair care, and we know that you’ll be impressed by its efficacy as a moisturizer and hair treatment.

But there has been controlled research on the use of emu oil. Here are some studies you might find interesting:

• A double-blind study reported in the Australasian Journal of Dermatology found that both penetration of the skin and improvements in skin texture were better for emu oil than for the other oils tested.
• A study from a Queensland hospital found that emu oil was as effective in treatment of arthritis as ibuprofen.
• Reports in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery: The Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons suggest that emu oil lotion is superior to other options in promoting wound healing.
• Dr. Robert Nicolosi, Director of the Center for Health and Disease Research at the University of  Massachusetts-Lowell, has found that emu oil is an effective transdermal carrier — that is, it absorbs into the skin so well that it can carry other substances along. That opens up opportunities for using emu oil in medications to be applied directly to the skin.
• Nicolosi also found that using emu oil as a dietary supplement had good results on cholesterol, and recent research in Australia suggests that oral use may help with bowel inflammation and even reduce the risk of colon cancer. Our emu oil is intended for external use, not for oral use.
• A number of clinical studies in the U.S. and in China have found that emu oil is excellent for treatment of burns.

If you intend to use our emu oil for any of these applications please consult with your doctor first.

Emu oil is safe, won’t make your skin break out, and is a very effective moisturizer for skin and hair. Research into its other properties is exciting, but we don’t need proof of miraculous powers to know that you’ll love our emu oil.
