While there are hundreds of natural substances, each of which has one or more benefits to our health and wellbeing, there are very few substances which are advantageous to the entire body. One of these few substances is something which may sound odd at first, but which has actually been in use for thousands of years – emu oil. Derived from the fat, of a flightless bird native to Australia, this is one of the most amazing and beneficial substances in the world. The Aboriginal Australians used it to strengthen their immune systems, heal wounds and protect themselves from the blazing and intense rays of the sun. Here are some of the ways that emu oil products can help you:
Skin
Emu oil contains large quantities of vitamin E, which is a natural antioxidant. It also has many other substances which nourish the skin and help it to function better. When you put emu oil products onto your skin, the oil penetrates deep into your skin and won’t clog your pores. It will moisturize your skin and protect it from harsh weather. Emu oil is an excellent anti-aging product since it lubricates and thickens skin. Its antiseptic properties keep skin clean, discourage the growth of bacteria and relieves itchy insect bites.
Joint And Muscle Pain
The joints and muscles of our bodies are what allow us to move around and do anything we need to do. If your joints and muscles begin to act up and feel sore due to overexertion, injury or age, then rubbing some emu oil onto the affected areas regularly will help immensely. In fact, emu oil is being used now in the sports world for this exact reason. It soothes the pain and diminishes swelling while lubricating the area and hastening recovery.
