Emu oil
it helps everything
Well. all the oils are claimed to be the miracle oil. So in that case it
must be. You could go further and everything is a miracle and helps.
Much research has been done on emu oil and many healing properties have
been discovered from it's use. Emu's healing properties are
anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, skin regenerative, moisturizing, does
not clog pores, relieves sunburn and assists with the prevention of scars.
Emu oil is high in oleic acid, much like human skin, which makes it able to
penetrate deeply into the skin.
Sounds good eh?
Bear in mind many of these properties exist in more conventional vegetable
oils. In fact pig fat should be anti-bacterial, etc..
Perhaps emu oil is particularly good.It is supposed to. But animals vary as
much as plants do according to locale.
So, this is an animal oil. What the emu eats, breathes and is injected with
will also be stored in its fat. It's higher up the food chain. If they say
it's organic, it makes little difference usually. At some point in the
marketing, they lie. This is true even of organic milk, so I'm damn sure
its true of emu. I haven't head of organic emu oil, anyway because they use
animal feed.
IN general, animal fats tend to go rancid far more quickly and are not so
rich in vitamins and free radical scavengers.
Emu oil for human use should be "fully refined," and not just filtered or
refined. That might extend its shelf life in optimum conditions to several
months unopened and in the dark. BY the time it gets to you less.
So in many ways it can't match a cold-pressed vegetable oil with a
naturally long shelf life, rich in vitamins, minerals, plant sterols, and
so forth.
Naural Vitamin E may be added to emu oil to extend shelf life. Natural
tocopherol (E) is expensive.
I've heard some doctors touting it who say emu oil is better than aloe vera
for what it does. Well they shouldn't be compared. One is an oil , the
other isn't.
I do believe it would an excellent oil, especially for aborigines from wild
birds who aren't pressing oils. Snail slime is another thing you may want
to consider putting on your skin. That would be less adulterated I think,
as vets don't get involved...yet.
Safer to take quality vegetable oils, and choose from the whole range.
IMHO.
JOhn.
