hair tomorrow, why are you using emu oil? spectral irritates your head? is the emu oil effectiv to avoid dandruff or irritations?
No, no irritants these days (now that my rev, ozbrew, and spironolactone 2% days are long gone). It defintely helps improve the "condition" of my hair. There were a few guys over the years who have attrituted emu oil to savng their hair. I dropped it for awhile (along w/ a few other things) and my hair took a few steps back.
These days I use it maybe every other night. I've got it a dropper bottle w/ jojoba oil, grapeseed extract oil, and the essential oils (rosemary, lavendar, cedarwood <basically reproducing the Scottish stdy, but w/ emu oil added to the mix.>). I'll soak my head in tricomin and then rub that stuff on overtop.
It ain't hurting me none.

EMU OIL:
Today's Natural Choice
Science is proving Emu Oil to be a modern miracle for the relief of pain and inflammation of injured tissues and joints. Studies and research are ongoing. Many of the claims for Emu Oil are being documented by modern research and personal experiences.
Modern research has documented that Emu Oil possesses numerous beneficial qualities. Laboratory experiments and analysis of Emu Oil both in Australia and in the U.S. have confirmed that Emu Oil has the ability to reduce inflammation of the joints.
Emu Oil contains high levels of linolenic acid... a substance known to temporarily ease joint pain, and oleic acid... a substance which has a local anti-inflammatory effect on dermal tissues.
When Emu Oil was tested, it proved to be very hypo-allergenic and to have an extremely high purity level.

THE ANCIENT Australian Aborigines utilized penetrating Emu Oil as a remedy for skin that is injured, dry, sunburned, or wind parched and to relieve aching muscles and joints.
THE EMU holds a special place in the history and folklore of the Aboriginal people of the Australian Outback. For the native people of Australia, the EMU has been a sacred bird for thousands of years. Aborigines relied on the EMU as a source of many products necessary for their survival & well being.
THE EMU performed the same function as the American bison (buffalo) did for the native American people. The EMU provided the Aborigines with clothing, food, and was also the source of oil believed - and later shown by scientific research - to have special healing properties.
EMU OIL was used as a folk remedy to treat various skin conditions, muscles and joint pain, even that associated with Arthritis and Rheumatism. Now the ancient wisdom of EMU OIL is being developed by modern science.
CAREFULLY refined to remove bacteria, odor, and particulate matter, Uniquely Emu Products100% Natural Emu Oil now offers modern man all the same benefits enjoyed for centuries by the Aborigines.
I do recall the 3 I mentioned. I basically use the exact same recipe as used in the scottish study except I cut the amt of jojoba oil in 1/2 and use emu for the other 1/2 - if that makes sense.
