Texas Tech University School of Medicine is conducting an emu oil study with excellent results using emu oil on burn patients . Pain relief, reduced inflammation, improved healing, and reduced scarring are what they're reporting. They are so pleased with the results they extended the study for another year. Emu oil is proving very beneficial for use on the elderly, helping with thinning skin problems, nursing home bed sores, and arthritis relief. Massage therapists and chiropractors use emu oil, reporting it seems to help their adjustments last longer.
Sports trainers use emu oil on professional players' injuries to reduce inflammation and pain.
Veterinarians report successful wound and trauma treatment with emu oil, and use it as a carrier for topically applied ingredients. And a large selection of commercial and home made therapeutic products that incorporate emu oil into their formulations. Soap customers, as well as soap makers, comment that soap containing emu oil seems to have a creamy rich feel, and leaves the skin feeling very smooth, soft and supple. As an ingredient, emu oil adds hardness, and stable lathering. Although not chemically validated, its emollient properties appear to enhance the finished soap product.
