Current Scientific Research

Research shows Emu Oil to be almost 100% triglyceride in nature, which means that Emu Oil is almost a completely neutral lipid and as such has tremendous medical and cosmetic possibilities as a base carrier and neutral emollient. Emu Oil has high penetrating qualities since the human skin is phospholipid deficient.

Dr. G.R. Hobday (Australia) has done ten years of clinical experimentation with the following results:
· Eczema – reduces irritation and inflammation of the skin.
· Keloids – reduces scarring and has anti-inflammatory action against the formation of keloid tissues.
· Burns – promotes faster healing with less pain and scarring.
· Joints – reduces pain, swelling and stiffness where joint is close to skin surface.
· Bruising and Muscle Pain – provides significant benefit to recent bruising and muscle pain where injury is relatively superficial. Post-exercise muscle strains are reduced due to anti-inflammatory action.
· Wounds – applied to epithelialised wounds appears to reduce scar tissue formation and anti-inflammatory action soothes a wound after surgery.
· Insect Bites – the sting and itching is greatly reduced due to the anti-inflammatory properties.

Many individuals have reported beneficial results that have not yet been the topic of organized scientific research. Among them are:

· Shingles – rapid relief from symptoms, including disappearance of rash.
