I had read somewhere that emu oil was very beneficial for healing - especially burns - so I thought I would give it a try since our skin is likened to burn victims' skin. I bought mine from a place called Montana Emu Ranch - It has other things in it (essential oils) - it's called Emurgent Oil. Their before and after pictures of burns are amazing. I used to work in a burn unit, so if their pictures are true and not photo-shopped, then this is some amazing stuff!!! I have been using mine for about 2 weeks - only using it on my left hand/wrist area. I wanted to be able to do a comparison in a few weeks and here it is:
I do not have a "before" picture of my hands in the same position - but both my wrists/hands have looked identical with regards to the edges of the redness and severity of the redness. This shows just how less red my left hand/wrist is. The texture is about the same - rough - but I personally cannot believe the difference! I will continue using it just on my left wrist/hand area for another 2 weeks. I think a 1 month trial is good. I will post another picture in 2 weeks and if the left hand improves even more, I will be using this all over my body!
Thanks for the shoutout! :)
ReplyDeleteyour arm looks much better with the Emu oil.
Where did you get it?
i wonder if it would be wonders on the face? hehe.
i want to eat healthy like you. but it's so hard in the city. hard to get organic food.
but i definately have cheat days too! Taco Tuesdays!
that reminds me, it's tuesday :)
Hi Lisa! I bought mine here: http://www.montanaemuranch.com/emugency-all-purpose-spray/
ReplyDeleteIt is not cheap! BUT if it works, I'm not going to complain! I just want to give it a good trial before buying more - I have tried too many things and spent too much money in the past on my "eczema" (haven't we all?). BTW - I took this picture this morning before putting on my morning spray - I spray it twice a day.
Funny - had tacos last night for dinner! YUM! We were able to get some raw sour cream from our farmer yesterday - the absolute best!!!
Great! thanks for the link Tracy!
ReplyDeleteYes i've spent so much on what to do with my very very dry skin. but it seems like this emu oil is working well for you.
i will let you do your trial before i buy.
guinea pig! haha lol j/k.
Wow that's a crazy difference! Nice one :D x
ReplyDeleteVery interesting experiment. I used emu oil and it gave me the itch. I didn't use it regularly, though. Perhaps its worth a try on a more consistent basis. For anyone in the UK the 'Emu Oil Well' seems to have a reasonable prices stock of the stuff available over the web.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your blog, Tracy. I think you have taken over where Louise left off. I'm sorry you;re in such pain. But you're getting there!
