Benifits of Emu Oil-Created for your convenience and knowledge by Gorgeouslookingskin.com

     Welcome to www.GorgeousLookingSkin.com exclusive Emu Oil Benifits page.   We have gathered over 30 sources of information to bring you the most accurate, and knowledgable information available.

    Emu oil is an oil made from highly refined lipids of an Emu (a native bird to Australia).  The history of Emu oil dates back for over 1000 years.  by native Australians in the treatment of burns, cut wounds, and also joint  and muscle pain relief.   Emu oil is approximately 70% unsaturated liptic-acids. There is some evidence to suggest that the oil may have medicinal benefit.  It is frequently used topically to soften skin and is frequently found in ointments for dry cracked heels, facial skin, treatment of wrinkles, and much more. Emu oil has been shown in studies to aid in reducing scar formation in healed burned wounds,muscle sprain and arthritis, due to its strong anti-inflammatory properties.

Emu oil is classified as a food by-product. To date, it has primarily been used in topical forms – applied to the skin. The main attributes are:
    •     Rapid penatration to the skin quickly and completely
    •     It nourishes and heals skin at the cellular level and regrows collagen
    •     Has proven scientific benifits as an inti-inflammitory
    •     It relieves pain

Like skin, emu oil is also phospholipid free. Pharmacist and oil researcher Allen Strickland believes this is in large part why emu oil can penetrate the outer skin. Petroleum based products contain phosphorous and don’t penetrate the skin.

Studies done at Auburn University by Dr. Paul Smith, Dr. Margaret Craig-Schmidt and Amanda Brown demonstrated that emu oil has a fatty acid composition similar to human skin oil-which, over evolution, has been evolved into the perfect skin care moisturizer and revitalizer.

Their research showed emu oil is approximately 70% unsaturated fatty acids. The largest component is Oleic acid – a mono-unsaturated fatty acid. Emu oil also contains about 20% Linoleic acid (Omega 6) and 1-2% Linolenic acid (Omega 3) which are “Essential Fatty Acids” (EFAs). Essential because the body can’t manufacture them – you must get them from your diet.

Additionally, emu oil has anti-oxidant vitamins A and E. Anti-oxidants fight free radical damage. Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage cells and contribute to aging and age related diseases.

According to Dr. Leigh Hopkins, an emu oil researcher, Compounding Pharmacist and Clinical Professor of Pharmacology: "emu oil helps to normalize basic cellular function, and enable the body to progress with what should be normal healing." Hopkins also believes emu oil’s specific combination of fatty acids and compounds are responsible for the beneficial effects. He feels the oil’s chief healing mechanism is nutritional in nature.

Let me repeat two very important keys:
    •     it’s the specific combination of fatty acids and compounds, and
    •     the primary healing mechanism is nutritional in nature.

 

Human Skin, Aging and Wrinkles

Wrinkles would seem to be an inevitable consequence of aging. However, it may be more accurate to say, wrinkles are due to under nourishment of the skin… like scurvy is due to a vitamin C deficiency.

Let me explain…

Your skin is made up of layers. The outer layer – visible to the world – is the epidermis. The inner layer is the dermis. Collagen fibers join the two and give the skin elasticity and cushion. When we’re young we continually replenish collagen. As we age, our ability to produce collagen decreases. (About 1% a year after age 25).

The skin gets thinner. The epidermis collapses and sags. Wrinkles appear.

 

Emu oil restores youthfulness to your skin in two ways…

Firstly, Dr. Michael Holick, Professor of Medicine, Physiology, and Dermatology at Boston University School of Medicine conducted research that showed emu oil can actually promote collagen and thicken the skin by as much as 30%. This plumps up the skin which reduces and eliminates wrinkles.

Secondly, emu oil is highly moisturizing. It hydrates both the epidermis and dermis which smoothes and plumps the skin.

There are many reasons to use emu oil. I’m not going to kid you, most people buy Dremu Oil to get rid of wrinkles. And now you can clearly see why it works. It feeds the skin nutrients it needs to naturally keep the skin healthy.

There’s no pain involved. There are no side effects. And the results are cumulative. Really, it’s a reverse aging of the skin that restores your youthfulness.

In fact, I’m in my 50’s… not a single wrinkle. I’ve been using emu oil for about 10 years.

What’s more, compare Dremu Oil to the other options available for erasing 10-20 years of visible aging…
    •     Surgical face lift. Expensive (average cost $8,500). Painful. Long healing process. Involves a surgeon and typically a hospital stay. Risks. Side effects.
    •     Botox injections. Costly (generally runs about $300 per area treated). Effect wears off in 3-4 months. Involves a doctor. Botox is a toxin that paralyzes the muscles. The effect can cause over compensation of other muscles… in effect creating more wrinkles. 
    •     Collagen injections. Costly. (human collagen is about $1,000 per session, takes three sessions; bovine collagen is about $500 per session). Needs to be repeated about every 6-12 months. Must be performed by a doctor.

With Dremu Oil you’ll get a hydrating, softening and smoothing effect immediately. In about 4 weeks of regular use (2-3 times a day), you’ll notice your skin visibly transforming. Becoming thicker and plumper. All this from just applying emu oil.

It take’s less than a minute to apply. No doctors. No pain. No harmful side effects. Imagine how easy and worry free it is to naturally restore your youthful appearance.

What Else Does Emu Oil Do?

Emu oil is also anti-inflammatory and pain relieving. Most skin conditions involve inflammation. Let me explain just a few skin conditions emu oil has been proven to heal.

Acne. With acne what you see is the pimple. However, acne actually starts deep in the skin where a pore clogged with bacteria becomes inflamed. Dremu Oil heals the acne at the source and also clears the pimple. It diminishes acne scarring as well.
 

From The Research Labs
    •     Tests at University of Texas Medical School in Houston showed that even though it’s an oil, emu oil was demonstrated to be a non pore-clogging substance.

    •     Dr. A. Zemtsov of Indiana University School of Medicine in research test showed emu oil is highly penetrating, does not clog pores, does not promote growth of bacteria and is hypo-allergenic.

    •     In a double blind study, Dr. Zemtsov and Dr. Monica Gaddis and Dr. Victor Montalvo-Lugo of Ball Memorial Hospital compared emu oil to mineral oil. They found emu oil had better skin penetration, better moisturizing properties and mineral oil was more pore clogging.

 

Eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, keloids, rosacea, sunburn, burn, radiation burn, chemical burn… all involve inflammation and in many cases pain. Emu oil has been proven to speed the healing process of all these conditions. It also dramatically reduces any scarring.
 
From The Research Labs and Clinical Results
    •     Dr. John Griswold of the Harner Burn Center in Lubbock, Texas, was impressed with the oil's ability to generate new skin cells so quickly. He also found a statistically significant difference in scar reduction and inflammation in emu oil-treated wounds in his long-term study.

    •     Research by Dr. Elton J. Lormand of the Advanced ENT and Facial Surgery Institute in Cullman, Alabama showed emu oil lessened radiation burns.

    •     Dr. G.R. Hobday of Australia has done 10 years of clinical experimentation with over 500 patients and proven emu oil to be effective with
    •     dry skin problems, eczema, keloids, burns, insect bites, epithelialized wounds, joint pain and muscle aches.

    •     Dr. Esta Kronberg, a Houston, Texas dermatologist began prescribing emu oil for her patients several years ago after using it on a sunburn. "When I realized how well it fights inflammation, I began using it for many different problems, all with good results”. A spider bite on her ankle was the next test. "Within a few hours after applying emu oil, all the stinging was gone." Dr. Kronberg said emu oil begins healing faster and relieves pain, so patients feel better sooner. "It works quickly, our patients have been really pleased," she explained, "and they are intrigued because it is a natural substance." Dr. Kronberg finds emu oil is the best treatment for first and second degree burns. She has also had good success with rosacea patients. "Even though it is an oil, it seems to heal inflamed, ruddy and raw skin."

    •     Dr. Dan Dean, of Shepard, Michigan, routinely recommends emu oil to his patients at risk of skin sores and ulcerations, (diabetics, convalescents, and patients with poor circulation). He also uses it for psoriasis, eczema, arthritis, sore joints and surgical wounds. According to Dr Dean, with a typical third-degree burn or skin abrasions, emu oil cuts healing time by almost half. Additionally, Dr. Dean used emu oil on an elderly diabetic patient with heal ulcerations and gangrene of the toes. He was scheduled for foot amputation. Because the emu oil healed the foot so well, it was saved from amputation.

    •     Dr. Thomas Samaras of Virginia Beach, Virginia experienced the results in his own family. His son suffered with eczema behind his knees for 2 years. Emu oil cleared up the condition within 10 days.

    •     Dr. Marlin Dimond, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon in Glendale, Arizona, had a double mastectomy patient that used emu oil on her incisions. Because she healed so quickly with minimal scarring, it put her 3-4 weeks ahead of schedule for reconstruction

 

Anti-inflammatory and pain relief for muscles and joints

Because emu oil is anti-inflammatory and pain relieving it’s being used more and more by arthritis sufferers, athletes and folks that prefer a natural – and effective – alternative to pharmaceutical products. Emu oil has the strength of ibuprofen… but none of the side effects.

As you are no doubt aware Acetaminophen aka Tylenol, Ibuprofen and all the “Cox-2” inhibitor class of drugs have very significant side effects especially with prolonged use.

With arthritis, fibromalasia, back aches and other types of muscular injury, the pain (and desire for pain relief) can be ongoing. So naturally, your concern about side effects is even more important when you consider a pain relief product.

Imagine pain relief in 15 minutes or less. With Dremu oil that’s what you’ll experience.

It also makes a great massage oil.
 
From The Research Labs and Clinical Results
    •     Dr. Peter Ghosh of Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney, Australia and Dr. Michael Whitehouse at the University of Adelaide in Australia studied the effect of emu oil on arthritis patients. There was 100% pain reduction within 14 days and 100% inflammation reduction within 17 days.

    •     Dr. Thom Leahey of the Arthritis Clinic in Ardmore, Oklahoma, performed a two-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of arthritis patients. The results revealed that 7 of the 12 emu oil users reported significant reduction of pain, morning stiffness, and swelling compared to 1 of the 8 placebo users.

    •     Chiropractor Dr. Headly of Colorado began using massage treatments in his practice. For him, “I do both massage and adjustments and the emu oil is used virtually from head to toe. People with chronic shoulder and knee problems get help from the adjusting, but the emu oil really does the final trick during the massage. I find it absolutely amazing.” For lower back pain, Dr. Headly explains, "I can get results using chiropractic alone on lower back pain. However, it seems that when I use the emu oil in conjunction with the chiropractic, the relief is quicker and the muscles stay relaxed longer, and therefore the treatment lasts longer."

    •     Chiropractor Ron Westbrook of Decatur, Texas also uses emu oil in his practice. "What I enjoy most about using the emu oil is that I have a lot more freedom of motion when massaging. The patient is more comfortable because I am not pulling on the skin . . . However, the most significant observation I have made is that the treatments with the oil last longer than without. the oil relaxes the muscles so well that the treatments hold for a longer period of time."

    •     As reported by the BBC, British marathoner Paula Radcliffe became “a keen exponent of emu oil after using it to speed up the healing of cuts and bruises sustained in a collision with a cyclist during a training session in 2003. This elixir helped Radcliffe get fit in time to win that year's London Marathon.

 

From the outside in – penetrating the skin

Emu oil has the ability to penetrate the skin. Petroleum based products simply cannot fully penetrate the skin. This transdermal ability naturally brings nourishing EFAs Omega 3 & 6 and anti-oxidant vitamins A & E into the deeper layers of skin, impacting the skin at the cellular level.

Emu oil is used as a carrier for other components such as medicines.
 
From The Research Labs
    •     Dr. Robert Nicolosi, Director of the Center for Health and Disease Research at the University of  Massachusetts-Lowell, has researched the transdermal properties of emu oil in animal trials. The results “demonstrated rather convincing evidence that emu oil has transdermal properties suggesting it may be utilized for transdermal delivery of compounds such as fat soluble nutrients, drugs or over-the-counter prescriptions.”

    •     Dr. Dan Rivlin Head of Dermatopathology at Miami's Mt. Sinai Hospital and Professor at the University of Miami Medical School and Julie Brumlik (me) have a patent on emu oil and lidocaine. It’s the only penetrating topical anesthesia that works anywhere on the body.

    •     Pearson Research and Development received a patent for a supplement of emu oil combined with a number of other components in the treatment of Alzheimer disease. The emu oil is used both for nutritional purposes and as a carrier for the other components.

 


 All that and a new head of hair on a bald scalp…

Anecdotally, I can tell you of two men I know personally that had typical male pattern baldness and have grown back a full head of hair using emu oil.

And if you already have hair - Dremu oil will add sheen to your hair and repair split ends.
 
From The Research Labs

Dr. Michael Holick, M.D, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine, Physiology and Dermatology at Boston University School of Medicine, conducted a study that compared emu oil and corn oil on mice after removing some of their hair.

"We found that there was about a 20% increase in DNA synthesis, which means that there was a 20% increase in the proliferative activity, or the growth activity of the skin in the animals that received (a processed emu oil), compared to the animals that received corn oil, " said Dr. Holick.

"We found that there was an enhancement in the growth activity of the hair follicles. So it gives us very good scientific indication that we were stimulating skin growth." They also discovered that "over 80% of hair follicles that had been asleep were woken up and began growing hair." He explained that hair follicles go through stages from resting to growth and back to sleep again, and that they awoke these hair follicles by stimulating them which indicates that it stimulates skin growth as well.
 

What about pets?

There’s been a lot of success using emu oil on pets… my own included ;)
 I’ve heard from people that have been delighted with the results of using Dremu Oil for wound healing, skin conditions, flea bites and itching, hot spot rashes, dry skin, dermatitis,  arthritis and the pain of hip displasia.
 
Clinical Results
    •     Dr. Dan Dean of Shepard Michigan (mentioned above) first used emu oil on his thoroughbred horse. (The results convinced him he should also use it on his human patients). His horse had picked up a salmonella infection and then developed an allergic reaction to IV steroids and antibiotics. The horse lost all its hair and much of its stamina. After a few applications, the horse welcomed the oil treatments. In a short amount of time the horse’s hair and stamina were back.

    •     Veterinarian Dr. Matthew Zimmer of Angola Indiana uses emu oil on pets and farm animals. He uses it mainly to accelerate wound healing and also for pain.


 

Dremu Oil Is Essential Oil

As you can clearly see, whether you’re human or animal, emu oil has an amazing effect on virtually any skin related issue. And it melts away pain as well.

Not only that, but since it doesn’t clog pores and it’s hypo-allergenic, Dremu Oil is appropriate for any skin type. It also completely absorbs quickly so there’s no oily residue left behind.

 

But Not All Emu Oil Is Created Equal

Because emu oil absorbs through the skin into your body, you want to be especially sure of the purity. Dremu uses emu oil from a select few American emu farms where the emus are humanely treated and free range raised. They’re never given any hormones, steroids or antibiotics.

Dremu Oil is refined in USDA and FDA approved labs. Dremu exceeds the American Emu Association “Fully Refined” standards using a third refining process called Molecular Distillation.

Tests have shown that “Fully Refined” emu oil may still have as much as 10% impurities. Molecular distillation is an expensive additional process. However, it yields a very clean oil - free of impurities, bacteria, toxins and heavy metals.
