                                              Emu Oil

       Emu oil is red in colour and derived from the emu fat. Later, it is turned into refined oil.
       5-6 liter of Emu oil is extracted from a mature bird. Emu oil's natural nourishing and
       anti-inflammatory properties make it more relevant to our health today than ever.
       Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are vital elements of cellular health. Monounsaturated, or
       "good" fats, are a natural part of the cell's lining. Because we do not often ingest enough
       "good" fats in our daily diets, our cells can become lined with rigid, saturated fats that
       prevent them from functioning properly on a chemical level.


                                    Importance of Emu Oil

       Emu oil contains EFAs that replenish these "good" fats and allow our bodies to process
       chemical reactions more effectively. With a pH level and composition extremely close to
       that of human skin, emu oil penetrates our body's largest organ deep down into the
       dermis, where it nourishes cells from within. The presence of linolenic and oleic acids in
       emu oil gives it a totally natural anti-inflammatory agency that effectively relieves pain
       associated with arthritis, joint aches, and bruised muscles. Through the process of
       molecular distillation, emu oil is refined to its purest state and fit for use either by itself
       or in other skin care products. It is bacteria-free, odor-free, and steroid-free, making it
       an easy alternative to most over-the-counter lotions and creams. Unlike many unnatural
       products, emu oil won't clog pores. Emu oil is nature's salve for ailing skin.
