Jackie's Health Tip of the Week 4/30/17
My pick for healing battle wounds and scars! Emu Oil!
I crashed my bike a few summers ago and banged up my shoulder as you can see in the photo below. I applied emu oil for a few weeks and now there is no visible scar!
I also used it recently after my car accident when the air bag did this to my arm.
Emu oil is taken from the fat of the emu, a flightless bird native to Australia that resembles an ostrich. The fat is composed mainly fatty acids including Omegas 3, 6, and 9. Thousands of years ago, the aborigines of Australia, known to be one of the oldest groups of people on Earth, were the first to use emu fat and oil to treat skin infections. Since then, emu oil has become so popular that doctors recommend it for the treatment of burns and other skin conditions. When used topically and orally, emu oil is known to possess anti-inflammatory properties that can help treat a number of health issues, including muscle pain, migraines and skin conditions.
I picked some up at my local natural food co-op in Minneapolis, but you can also order it online in my Amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0051N4SU4/?ref=exp_loc_pl_optimumwellness&th=1
I highly recommend it for any type of burns, cuts, or scrapes!
