Emu Oil

http://www.uniquelyemu.com/haircare.htm


Anti-Aging Effect
Emu Oil is unsurpassed for its moisturizing properties. Studies found that dry aging skin increased in thickness by 2-3 times when treated with Emu Oil. Age spots and wrinkles diminished noticeably.

Arthritis
Emu Oil comforts stiff muscles and joints, and reduces the inflammation and swelling of arthritic joints. When used regularly, it acts much like an analgesic without the side effects.

Chronic Injuries - Massage
Muscle strains, sprains, injured ligaments and even heel spurs that are experienced by athletes and other sports enthusiasts are responding well to treatment with Emu Oil resulting in up to 50% faster healing. Many professional sports teams are now using Emu Oil for massages in their training rooms.

Cuts & Scrapes
Emu Oil relieves the pain and inflammation of cuts and scrapes without stinging or burning plus aids in the healing process.

Burns
Emu Oil has been found to be very effective on burns of all types including sunburn, 1st and 2nd degree burns, and radiation burns.
It alleviates pain and dramatically reduces scarring and blistering.

Psoriasis & Eczema
Emu Oil acts like a therapeutic balm by moisturizing the skin and reducing the itching, redness, cracking, peeling and scaling associated with many stubborn skin conditions.

Hair Care
Emu Oil acts as a fortifying agent for limp dry hair, helps to eliminate split ends and restores a natural healthy shine to the hair. In some cases, there have even been reports of new hair growth.

How to Use Emu Oil
A few drops of Emu Oil is all it takes to massage into the affected area. The skin should not feel oily when you are finished. If it does, you have used too much. Repeat as needed.

I've been using just the oil for about 1 1/2 years now. Great stuff. You can use it on your hands and face too. That site gives you a bunch of different ways to use it.

I've read of several guys using the shampoo and they've liked it (although I've never tried it). Revita, which I do use, has a certain percentage of emu oil - but it's not strictly an emu oil shampoo. Couldn't hurt to give the emu oil shampoo a try though.

I agree with emu oil and I think it can be effective, I just don't think it can be practical to use in a daily regimen. Maybe I wasn't dedicated enough but it was such a hassel due to its messiness! If you put in on before bed and shower in the AM I suppose it would have worked for me but I don't take showers in the AM so it didn't work.

At bedtime, I apply my tricomin therapy serum, followed by an emu oil application. On Pickart's website, he states that the emu oil pushes the tricomin further down into the hair follicle.

But for a itchy scalp, it can be used alone and should definitly help.
