Welcome to Emu Spirit’s blog.

Emu Oil has once again made its way onto television. Channel Nine’s What’s good for you aired a segment Does cold weather make arthritis worse? (June 10 2009) and featured Emu oil as a natural alternative treatment for arthritis and osteoarthritis. 

Dr Cicuttini, head of rheumatology at the Alfred Hospital Melbourne, noted that ‘weather pressure and humidity are associated with a change in peoples’ [arthritic] symptoms…preventing injury is a key factor to [preventing arthritis].’[1]

But here’s the good news…Emu oil is also considered a reputable source of relief for arthritis. Dr Michael Whitehouse, from the therapeutics research unit at Griffith University, revealed results of his earlier studies of Emu oil and its treatment for arthritis: ‘[Emu oil] restores mobility…successfully treating pain, and this is what most arthritic sufferers wish to have.’[2]

And according to Dr Melanie Cameron from Victoria University (and the head researcher for Emu Spirit’s clinical trial into Emu oil and osteoarthritis in the hands) ‘…clinically…Emu oil reduces some of the signs of inflammation…Emu oil does contain essential fatty acids, which are involved in the inflammatory pathways.’[3]

Emu Oil can also treat pain associated with injury. Using either Arthritic and Muscular Rub (which has a nice warming effect on the muscle due to the blend of essential oils) or Oil of Emu (which can be used internally and topically), Emu oil will relieve pain, help reduce swelling and bruising, and help mobility, particularly if you have a joint injury.   

This is fantastic news for arthritis sufferers and anyone searching for a natural therapy to relieve the pain, discomfort, and inflammation associated with arthritis and osteoarthritis.

We have found the best way to treat arthritis is by using Oil of Emu both internally and topically as this helps relieve inflammation from the inside while delivering pain relief more readily from a topical application. 

The reason why Emu oil is such a great treatment for arthritis and osteoarthritis is due to Emu oil’s unique anti-inflammatory capabilities.
