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.
