Commercial emu oil supplements are not standardised and vary widely in their potency. [6] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration highlighted emu oils in a 2009 article on "How to Spot Health Fraud", pointing out that many "pure emu oil" products are unapproved drugs. [4] See also [ edit ]

Because of its painkilling effect, antioxidant levels, and ability to reach deep into the skin, emu oil can be applied to small wounds, cuts, bruises, or burns. Robbins, J. (2013, February 7).

Retrieved fromSince 2015 two small human studies have been done, one for use as a skin moisturizer and the other for use as an insect repellent. [5]

Vitamin A: An antioxidant and essential nutrient, vitamin A is an excellent skin tonic, often found in topical anti-aging creams. Emu oil is an oil derived from body fat harvested from certain subspecies of the emu, Dromaius novaehollandiae, a flightless bird indigenous to Australia. [1] [2] Bennett, D. C., Code, W. E., Godin, D. V., &Cheng, K. M. (2008, September 11). Comparison of the antioxidant properties ofemu oil with other avian oils [Abstract].

One place aging starts is around the eyes. Look for an eye treatment with emu oil, caffeine, and vitamin K. A 2015 study examined the effects of these ingredients on 11 women, who were instructed to apply a pad coated in them to one eye. After four weeks, the eye that was treated showed fading of dark circles, improved elasticity, and fewer lines. 4. Decrease inflammation Emu oil has also been recommended for use in the treatment of skin conditions, such as skin wounds and seborrheic dermatitis. It may also help with alopecia, rosacea, hypopigmentation, and shingles. Healing wounds

Researchers found that when breastfeeding mothers used an emu-based cream for a 24-hour period beginning soon after delivery, the breast areola and nipple skin was more hydrated.

Nutrition. 2015;31(1):21-27. doi:10.1016/j.nut.2014.04.004. Emu oil is a bright yellow liquid, made up of mostly fat, which is collected from the deposits below the skin of the bird. While many topical creams claim to be effective for dry skin, arthritis, and inflammation, most creams and lotions are made up of large particles that cannot penetrate the skin. Unadulterated emu oil can vary widely in colour and viscosity anywhere from an off-white creamy texture to a thin yellow liquid, depending on the diet of the emu and the refining method(s) used. [3] Industrially refined emu oil is composed of a minimum of 70% unsaturated fatty acids. The largest component is oleic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. Emu oil also contains roughly 20% linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) and 1–2% linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid). [3] Fully refined emu oil has a bland flavour. [3] However, emu oil is made up of smaller particles, which allows it to carry many healthful compounds to deep layers of the skin.

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 18(6), 477-481 Clinical studies have shown that Emu Oil applied topically has natural anti-inflammatory properties. One of the most impressive studies was one done by Drs Whitehouse and Ghosh in Australia. Each of these clinicians has over 25 years of experience and have published extensively on the evaluation and development of drugs used for arthritis. Over a 14-day period they had 11 participants with chronic pain due to arthritis; joint swelling and bone abrasion applied straight emu oil to joints. It appears that emu oil can pass this absorbable trait on to other compounds when they are mixed together. This property may explain why emu oil is regularly mixed into moisturizers containing other helpful compounds. Stimulating the skin More trials are needed to substantiate these claims, but the results are promising. Treating ulcers According to a peer-reviewed article, posted to Nutrition, emu oil may also reduce the breast sensitivity common in breastfeeding mothers.
