Emu oil can be used as a topical remedy, consumed as a supplement, added to massage oils, or even used as a vapor rub on the chest or nose. Emu oil is readily available throughout Australia and most parts of Asia and is becoming popular among other continents, given what has been discovered about the nutritional benefits of emu meat and emu oil. In terms of dosage, for topical applications, no more than a half-teaspoon to a full teaspoon is required in a given area. When taken orally, usually in the form of a capsule, one per day should be enough, although if you aren’t seeing positive results, you can increase to two capsules.
- Massage Oil – Many massage therapists use emu oil either as the main massage oil, or blend it with other carrier oils. The anti-inflammatory nature of the various monounsaturated fats in this oil will not only improve the health and appearance of your skin but will also provide a soothing and rejuvenating massage experience for your muscles.
- Topical Application – This is arguably the most popular use of the oil, as there are countless benefits to the skin, nails, hair and other readily available areas of the body. Due to the potency, only a small amount is required, and it will take roughly 5 minutes for the oil to completely soak into the skin.
- Oral Consumption – Emu oil capsules and supplements are widely available and typically recommended for people wanting to use the oil for heart health. Capsules are also good for boosting respiratory health and strengthening the immune system.
- Respiratory Rub – If you are suffering from congestion, a stuffy nose, or inflammation in your respiratory tracts, some people choose to rub a small amount of this oil on the inside of their nose, or on their chest, before they go to bed. This can help improve symptoms overnight and leave you feeling refreshed in the morning! *
