How to use emu oil for dry skin

If you suffer from dry, itchy, flaky skin, emu oil could be your saving grace. This natural, deeply nourishing oil is ideal for hydrating, soothing and protecting dry skin, leaving you with a healthy and radiant glow. The red, flaky patches of skin caused by psoriasis can be embarrassing, itchy and uncomfortable. If you’ve tried everything to treat your psoriasis without success, emu oil could be a game-changer for you.

How to use emu oil for psoriasis

We suggest taking the emu oil capsules to help prevent inflammation and treat the cause of the problem, as well as using the 100% Pure Emu Oil topically on the area. A little oil goes a long way, so use sparingly 3 or 4 times per day. 

 

Also, make sure soap, shampoo and personal care items are all as natural and gentle as possible - our range is free from SLS, parabens, petrochemicals and artificial colour and fragrance.

What is psoriasis?

Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition characterised by red, raised and scaly patches that can be itchy and shed in flakes. They’re often concentrated on the scalp, elbows and knees, but they can appear anywhere on the body.

 

While healthy skin sheds old skin cells to expose new ones approximately every four weeks, people with psoriasis have overactive immune systems that cause new skin cells to move to the surface of the skin every few days. Because the cells aren’t shed quickly enough, they form thick patches called plaques.

 

If left untreated, psoriasis can lead to psoriatic arthritis, an inflammatory condition characterised by swelling, stiffness and painful joints. Psoriasis is also associated with other serious health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and depression.

Why use emu oil for psoriasis?

Treatments for psoriasis include topical creams, oral medications, ultraviolet light therapy and biologic drugs given by injection or intravenous infusion. While topical creams aren’t always effective in controlling severe cases, they’re the first line of defence against this skin condition.

 

Emu oil has shown very promising results in treating psoriasis. A study at Indiana University found that an emu oil-based cream containing a steroid and an antihistamine was more effective in treating psoriasis than another cream containing these same medications in a neutral propylene glycol base. The researchers concluded that the antihistamine and emu oil enhanced each other’s anti-inflammatory and other beneficial properties when used in combination.

 

Emu oil alone may also be effective in treating psoriasis.

 

The components of emu oil that can be beneficial include:

- Omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids: potent natural anti-inflammatories
- Vitamins A and E: powerful antioxidants that promote skin healing
- Oleic acid: a deeply hydrating and nourishing fatty acid
