If there's one word you need to remember, it's emu. The benefit of emu oil are suddenly popping up in dermatological discussions and research. This oil could someday hold the key to eternal youth. But for the time being, it can improve the skin you're in because emu oil is an excellent emollient with strong transdermal properties. In other words, it can nicely penetrate the skin's layers. It doesn't just sit on the surface like many expensive moisturizers do.

Emu oil does many good things and the studies are there to prove it. From radiation burns to mild arthritis, wrinkles and dry skin, this wonder oil is inexpensive and worth a try.

Where does emu oil come from?
Emu oil comes from the emu, a large, flightless, ostrichlike bird. Maybe not the prettiest animal on the block, but Australian aborigines were said to have discovered the benefits of extracting this oil thousands of years ago. And what researchers have come to learn is that there is something in the oil that is compatible with human skin.

Leigh Hopkins, PhD., explained it in this manner: "The fatty acid composition of emu oil is very close to the correct composition of the fats as found in normal human skin."

Emu oil is a great moisturizer because it returns skin to its natural barrier function. Best of all, it's a natural and nontoxic substance.

What are the benefits of emu oil?
Above all, emu oil can make your skin softer and glowing. It is also anti-inflammatory, won't clog pores and is odorless. Over time, studies have found that emu oil can plump up your skin and help diminish wrinkles and age spots. It has also been proven to be very effective on first- and second-degree burns and radiation burns. It takes away the pain of the burn, and scarring and blistering are greatly reduced. Most wounds heal much faster with emu oil.
