Frequently Asked Questions

Emu oil is one of the basic food groups that our culture has chosen to deny. Avoiding fats in our diets creates the many conditions which respond to Emu Oil.

How does Emu Oil work?

A large number of steps within our body's chemistry involve fatty acids.
No drug offers the wide scope of activity seen with Emu Oil.
Our body's need for fats can be grouped into structural and functional needs.

Structural Needs

All our cell walls are made of fat. When fats are missing from our diets our body makes fat from the protein and carbohydrates that we eat. Unfortunately, it cannot make some types of fats that are required by the cell wall. Therefore, all cell wall structures are defective when some necessary essential fats, such as found in Emu Oil, are missing from our diets. A dry, itchy skin (i.e. a defective skin) is a sign of missing essential fatty acids.

Functional Needs

Fats play many different roles in our body. All cells produce hormones directly from the fatty acids which we must receive from our diet or from topical application of these fatty acids. These hormones influence all aspects of local cell activity, such as inflammation, healing, cell growth and dying. When we don't have enough of the correct fats, these processes do not operate efficiently.

Emu Oil can provide the necessary fats that are required for normal cell function.

Where do the other ingredients of the products come from?

The Active Manuka Honey, widely known for its healing properties, is particular to New Zealand. Beeswax, also from New Zealand.

The other essential oils are sourced from where they are regarded as being the best e.g. rose oil from England, Lavender oil from the south of France.
