RESEARCH
Ongoing
research in universities are documenting the properties
of Emu Oil
to substantiate it’s many and varied uses.
The
specific characteristics of Emu Oil as an anti-inflammatory agent,
a pain
reducer, an active carrier and the potential to lower cholesterol
present
a new frontier for innovative 21st century products.
Research
indicates the Emu Oil is an all-natural substance that’s almost
100% triglyceride, which means its almost a completely neutral lipid.
It has had tremendous results with cosmetic possibilities as a base for
compounded ingredients and a natural emollient. Clinical experimentation
by various doctors in both the United States and Australia have shown
that it has deep effectiveness, is an excellent emulsifier, hypoallergenic,
and non-comedogenic.
Several
Emu Oil tests (including those at the University of Texas Medical
School) revealed that it can be considered non-comedogenic, meaning it
won’t clog pores. In the cosmetic skin care industry this is an important
trait for a product to have. Mineral Oil, a popular carrier oil in
cosmetics
and rubbing oils, can’t make this claim, as it has been known to clog
pores
thus causing blemish and pimple outbreaks.
Researchers have found many good, natural properties in Emu Oil.
One of
these is Vitamin E, touted as a major antioxidant. Emu Oil
also contains
Vitamin A. Trepines, a known antiseptic, and sapogens,
a proven skin
softener, are also present.
Wounds:
Epithelialized wounds – reduced scar tissue formation,
soothing
of wounds as surgery by anti-inflammatory action.
A nine month study of 10 burn patients at a burn center in Texas showed
that patient comments almost unanimously favored Emu Oil as an end
result and during application. There was also a unanimous difference
noted in photographs taken of their wounds as far as reduction in scarring
and inflammation in control areas treated with Emu Oil.
A study
with elderly women at the Boston School of Medicine showed
in
one month’s
usage of Emu Oil Daily, the skin wall thickened by 14%.
By having thicker,
healthier skin, the opportunity for bruising lessened.
Age spots tended
fade, and in some
cases completely disappeared.
Continued
research is done everyday on what Emu Oil has to offer us.
