Hi,
Aparantly this stuff is really good for hair loss. I've read it penetrates the skin really well and can be used as an excellent transdermal carrier for minoxodil. It also promotes healthy hair and skin growth.
I've even read it acts as a natural DHT inhibitor due to some kind of special fatty acids it contains. Dunno how true this is though.
I've just got some and have been using it after I apply minoxodil. It feels nice but it leaves my skin feeling oily...unsurprisingly. But does this mean it is not penetrating the skin that well (because it's still oily on the surface?)
If anyone here has had any experiences/testimonials or whatever regarding emu oil I'd be very interested to hear about them.
For those that have no idea what I'm talking about, google it. There's plenty of information out there. Here's a little bit...
"The second conclusion of this study was that oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid is the largest component of emu oil, that and this fatty acid may well be the main reason for this oil's amazing ability to penetrate the skin and carry with it health-bringing medications"
"The processed emu oil produced a 20% increase in DNA synthesis which meant that the growth activity of the skin of these animals had a 20% increase. Also the hair follicles were much more robust and the skin thickness had increased as well. Dr. Michael Holick, MD, Ph.D. who conducted these tests said they also discovered that "over 80% of hair follicles that had been asleep were woken up and began growing hair." He explained that hair follicles go through stages from resting to growth and back to sleep again, and that they awoke these hair follicles by stimulating them which indicates that it stimulates skin growth as well."
