Emu Oil for Psoriasis

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 23:38:00 GMT

Emu oil is an effective and natural treatment for Psoriasis. Psoriasis is one of the top three skin conditions Emu Spirit hears about week in week out from people like you looking for a natural alternative to help relieve the symptoms of Psoriasis.

Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition. As an anti-inflammatory Emu Oil relieves the symptoms of Psoriasis by softening the skin, reducing redness, itchiness, flakiness and overall inflammation. Emu oil helps hydrate your skin by deeply passing through each layer of the epidermis, which allows Emu oil to completely treat your Psoriasis, rather than simply being a ‘top layer skin’ treatment.Further, Emu oil promotes smoother skin by reducing the amount of Psoriatic plaque that can build up on your skin.

THREE WAYS to TREAT PSORIASIS using Emu oil.

Topical application: provides relief from Psoriasis symptoms such as itching, redness, skin flakiness, and will hydrate and soften the skin. Try Emu Spirit Oil of Emu (100% pure Emu oil)

Internal (oral) application: helps reduce skin inflammation and psoriasis symptoms from the inside out. Try either Emu Spirit Oil of Emu Omega 3,6,9 Capsules or Emu Spirit Oil of Emu (100% pure Emu Oil)

Combination application: the most effective treatment for psoriasis is a combination of topical and internal applications. Most Psoriasis sufferers prefer this method because their symptoms tend to clear up in shorter time frame and they are able to keep symptoms under control.

Why Emu Spirit?

Emu Spirit’s Oil of Emu is TGA approved, is safe and non-toxic, and suitable for internal and external use. There are many products out there that use additives and preservatives that can irritate Psoriasis.

Treat Aches and Pains Naturally with Emu Oil

Wed, 03 Aug 2011 00:01:00 GMT

Treat aches and pains naturally with Emu oil!
Manage your muscular aches and pains naturally and effectively with Emu Spirit’s Oil of Emu. Emu Spirit’s emu oil is has been scientifically recognised for its anti-inflammatory properties and can be used both topically and internally (orally) to treat a range of aches and pains such as arthritis, osteo-arthritis, rheumatism, sore joints, muscle aches and sporting injuries.
There are many pain relief products out there but we believe that Emu oil is simply and naturally the ‘go to’ anti-inflammatory that actually works. Many pain killers simply block ‘pain signals’ from the brain to the source of pain, meaning that although you may experience temporary pain relief, your pain isn’t actually going away. For many people this often means having to put up with ongoing pain and medications for months or even years.
Emu Spirit’s Oil of Emu is a versatile anti-inflammatory that penetrates the skin quickly because it has a composition similar to hydrolipidic film of sound skin (health skin). Treating muscle aches and pains with Emu Oil allows the oil’s anti-inflammatory properties to ease sore muscles and joints, especially those attributed to sports injuries.
Oil of Emu works by deeply penetrating all layers of the skin and relieving the actual source of pain and discomfort by reducing inflammation.
How to use Oil of Emu
When applied topically Emu Spirit Oil of emu may bring rapid temporary relief from the pain and discomfort associated with inflammation based conditions such as arthritis, arthritic and muscular aches and pains and RSI. Taken internally (orally) Oil of Emu helps provide relief from your aches and pains by working from the inside out.

Emu Oil as a Scalp Treatment

Mon, 31 Jan 2011 23:30:00 GMT

There are plenty of benefits when you use Emu oil but did you know that you can use our Oil of Emu to assist your dry, itchy scalp? Do you have psoriasis on your scalp?

Massaging your scalp with Oil of Emu at night (or even adding the oil to your shampoo) as a ‘hot oil’ treatment can assist the alleviation of discomfort associated with dry scalp, psoriasis, eczema, and ‘head-sores’.

A natural anti-inflammatory, Emu oil helps reduce redness and irritation and regular use works towards beating the symptoms of psoriasis, eczema, and itchy flaking scalps. Using Oil of Emu will also give your hair some TLC – many people find their hair becomes shinier and stronger, and there is evidence to suggest that Emu oil can help hair loss.

Perhaps the best way to use the oil is to wet your hair, pour the desired amount of oil into our palm and work it into your scalp through to the ends of your hair. You can then leave it over night (try wrapping your hair in cling wrap) or leave it in for 20-30 minutes. Use shampoo afterwards to make sure you clean any left- over oil.

There are even better results when you combine your topical application with internal use (oral application) of Oil of Emu.

A little bit of Omega 6 goes a long long way

Tue, 25 Jan 2011 03:17:00 GMT

We know that Emu oil contains Omega 6 fatty acids, but how important is Omega 6 to our bodies?

Considered an essential fatty acid (EFA), Omega 6 is necessary for healthy bodily function. Because humans can’t make Omega 6 in our bodies, it is vital that we eat Omega 6 rich foods and oils.

Along with Omega 3, Omega 6 plays an important role in brain function, encourages skin and hair growth, and maintains bone health and the reproduction system while regulating your metabolism.

Although we all know that we should probably stick to a balanced diet rich in essential fatty acids to keep ourselves happy and healthy, we don’t always do this. Supplementing our diets with Omega 6 oils, such as Oil of Emu, is a good way to make sure we are on the right track.

Emu oil is a unique anti-inflammatory which can be used to treat the symptoms of many inflammation based conditions including arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, eczema, and muscle aches and pains. However Emu oil can also play an important role in your general health and well being, especially if you’re not receiving enough essential fatty acids such as Omega 6.

Contrary to what you may have heard, not all Omega 6 fatty acids promote inflammation. Gramma-linolenic acid (GLA) occur when linoleic acids are converted in the body. It is then further broken down into arachidonic acid (AA). It’s these types of Omega 6 fatty acids which help to fight inflammation and are found in Emu Spirit’s Oil of Emu.

Studies have shown that Omega 6 fatty acids may be useful for the following conditions:

Diabetic neuropathy

Rheumatoid arthritis

Breast cancer. According to the University of Maryland “One study found that women with breast cancer who took GLA had a better response to tamoxifen (a drug used to treat estrogen-sensitive breast cancer) than those who took only tamoxifen.”

Eczema

Osteoporosis: “Some studies suggest that people who don' t get enough of some essential fatty acids (particularly EPA and GLA) are more likely to have bone loss than those with normal levels of these fatty acids. In a study of women over 65 with osteoporosis, those who took EPA and GLA supplements had less bone loss over 3 years than those who took placebo. Many of these women also experienced an increase in bone density.”

There are many forms of Omega 6 that you can take – many people choose Evening Primrose oil, or Flaxseed oil for example—yet Emu oil has been shown to provide higher anti-inflammatory properties than these oils. There are many reasons to introduce Omega 6 into your diet. We encourage you to explore the vast information regarding the benefits of increasing your essential fatty acids and create your new, healthier life today.

Japanese Athletes Have An Advantage With Emu Oil

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 04:18:00 GMT

Emu oil is fast becoming a world wide favourite for athletes. Emu Spirit began exporting Emu oil to Japan in 2001 specifically promoting the therapeutic and anti-inflammatory properties of Emu oil and the advantages of incorporating Emu oil in the treatment and prevention of sports injuries.

From Orthopedic Specialists, Physio Therapists, Massage Therapists, Sports Trainers to Athletes, Emu Spirit's Oil of Emu has become a standard feature in the Japanese professional market. So why has Emu oil become such a valuable player in the athletics world?

Emu oil greatly reduces swelling, inflammation, and bruising quickly. Not only are recovery times improved, Emu oil is able to be used on broken skin, particularly open wounds and sensitive skin areas. This is achieved because Emu Oil is trans-dermal and has a composition similar to the hydrolipidic film of sound, human skin, allowing Emu oil to quickly penetrate all layers of the epidermis.

During the 2004 Athens Olympic games, a growing number of Japanese athletes (with quite a few of them becoming medalists that year) turned to Emu oil to improve recovery times. However it's not only the natural anti-inflammatory properties of Emu oil that has been a draw card for professional athletes - Emu Spirit Oil of Emu has been approved by ASADA and passes anti-doping tests in Japan, making it a safe option for sports injuries and pain relief. Given this, it's not surprising that Japanese Olympians have continued to use Emu Spirit Emu oil in the recent games in Beijing and Vancouver.

Our Japanese distributor, Rising Corporation, says that the feedback they receive from the professional sporting world reiterates what professional athletes and therapists report here in Australia - Emu oil greatly helps combat muscle fatigue more than any other massage oil they use. Emu oil is especially helpful when treating dry and irritated skin, especially for those who compete in aquatic sports.

If you're looking for a natural anti-inflammatory to treat your sporting injuries, go the path of Japanese athletes and Olympians - it's working for them.

Emu Oil and Caesarean Section Scars

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 00:58:00 GMT

A new study suggests that women who deliver by cesarean section seem to have similar cosmetic results whether the wound is closed with stitches or staples. However, applying Emu oil to your C-Section scars can also help minimise their appearance, often preventing scarring.

The study into C-Section wounds, conducted by the University if Insubria (Italy) randomly assigned 180 women undergoing a C-Section to have one of four methods of wound closure: staples or one of three types of sutures, including absorbable stitches and removable stitches.

After two and six months, the study found there were no overall differences among the groups' cosmetic results -- based on both an independent plastic surgeon's ratings and the women's own perceptions of their scar healing.

The findings suggest that, generally speaking, women who have a C- section can expect to get similar aesthetic results regardless of the type of wound closure according to lead researcher Dr. Antonella Cromi.

However results varied from patient to patient and were dependant on factors other than the use of staples or stitches."The final appearance and function of the healed skin is dependent on patient factors which are often outside the control of a surgeon," Cromi said.

Women with darker skin, for example, are more likely than light- skinned women to form keloids -- an area of raised, sometimes itchy or painful, scar tissue. In addition, smokers and women with certain medical conditions -- such as diabetes or any condition that requires use of certain kinds of steroids -- can have poorer scar healing than other women, Cromi noted.

In this study, the majority of women in all four groups had developed "mature" C-section scars six months after delivery. That meant that the scar was light-colored and flat to the skin.

A similar percentage of women in each group had a more visible scar, with a line of red, raised skin that was confined to the site of the surgical incision. That included 39 percent of women who received staples, and between 34 percent and 44 percent of women who received the different types of suture.

So while wounds eventually healed overtime, the appearance of the scar, regardless of wound closure method, differed from each woman caused by ‘outside influences.’

Given this, is there a way to actually prevent scarring in the first place or even speed the healing process?

For many women, it’s not so much the appearance of their beautiful ‘battle scar’ that concerns them, but rather the discomfort that often comes with scarring, particularly keloid scarring. Regularly applying Emu oil to your scars, especially after surgery assists not only wound healing but the appearance of scars, reducing redness and itching. Keloid scars in particular are assisted by the restorative properties of Emu oil because it is in anti-inflammatory which improves skin elasticity and generates skin cell renewal. Treating your C-Section wound as soon as possible lessens the impact of scarring to the point where scarring may not occur at all. However, Emu oil can be applied to scars at any stage regardless of their age, and it will still reduce the appearance of your scars, softening them overtime. In 1998, a double blind study conducted by the Harner Burn Center (1998) reported that "Emu oil has...[a] significant anti-inflammatory effect... Emu [oil] treated areas[ such as burns and scars] healed significantly better than [the] control.'

So while it may not necessarily make a difference whether your C-Section wound was closed with staples or stitches, the affects of your scars can be greatly reduced by Emu oil.
