EMU OIL – THE ELIXIR OF LIFE.

During our time in Australia we were fortunate enough to come across one of the Aussies sacred natural remedies - ‘Emu Oil’. The aboriginals discovered the oil many centuries ago and originally used it as a natural anti-inflammatory.

How the oil works:

Emu oil is derived from the fat of Australia’s native, flightless bird - the Emu. Emu oils fat mimics the oil found in humans skin and has the ability to be absorbed and penetrate substansially faster into skin than other oils.

Emu oil is also used as type of natural therapy to reduce inflammation in the body. “Emu Heaven Golden Emu Oil contains the combination of Omega 9, 3 & 6. While Omega 3 Essential fatty acid is what’s believed to be key to a healthy and optimal functioning brain and heart. It’s believed the balance of Omega 9,3 & 6 is the secret weapon in making Emu oil so powerful.” – Emu Heaven.

Other key components to Emu oil include:

• Vitamin A, which is used for both skin repairing and antioxidants
• Linoleic acid, this helps to alleviate both muscle aches and joint pain
• Oleic acid, used as a skin cell regenerator and anti-wrinkle agent
• Sapogens, skin softener
• Terpines, used as an antiseptic
