Thousands of years ago, the aborignal Australians knew what they were doing when they started slathering emu oil on their skin. Today, modern research verifies that emu oil is a safe and effective treatment for skin care, hair loss and arthritis (to name a few) due to anti-aging omega fatty acids: linolenic acid and oleic acid. Some massage therapists even incorporate emu oil into their treatment, which is esepcially effective for people with dry, sensitive skin. Emu oil is also hypo-allergenic, non-irritating, odorless and leaves skin feeling smooth, not greasy—great news for those of us who want alternatives to flowery scented oils. The result is an anti-inflammatory effect that offers relief from muscle aches, joint pain, sciatica, shin splints, athlete’s foot and insect bites. (Yes, the list goes on).
