How to Use Emu Oil

How to use emu oil

Emu oil can be used both internally in the form of a capsule, or it can be applied topically as an oil. One thing to keep in mind when using emu oil on the skin, is that a little goes a long way. Only use about 1 drop for an area about the size of the palm of your hand, using any more is only waste.

Emu oil skin care products can be used on all skin types as there have been no known reactions to anyone using emu oil.

If you are using a product that contains emu oil, but is not pure emu oil, then you may react to the other ingredients in the product.

Using emu oil helps the skin to repair because of the concentrations of Omega 3 and 6 Unsaturated fatty acids that it contains and that are essential for good healthy skin.

Apply just a few drops twice a day on the affected areas.

Can emu oil cure cancer?

There have been a few people that claim they have beaten cancer by using emu oil. I feel this is a very big claim and one that you should be very wary of. If emu oil could cure cancer, then it would be a common and popular remedy, but this is not the case.

I believe that modern treatment should be followed for any disease, and that the use of traditional or alternative therapies should only be used in conjunction with proven modern medicine. To put all of your hope in something like emu oil to beat cancer, would be a very risky practise and certainly not one to be attempted.

Please always seek professional medical advise for any health problems.

There is no need to choose between modern and alternative medicines, you can use both, and who knows, the results may be better than just using one method alone.
