Helping to Provide Relief from Eczema...

Eczema is a skin disease. It is inflammation of the skin which causes redness, itchiness and rashes on the skin. The skin becomes dry, flaky and very itchy. The itching can become very intense but which must be avoided. It is a very painful and uncomfortable condition. In acute cases of eczema, the skin can in fact crack and bleed.

Eczema may be caused by some cosmetics such as specific soaps, creams, lotions or laundry detergent. It may also be caused by allergens in the air. In some cases eczema may be caused by allergies to some food items.

Emu oil helps to provide natural relief for Eczema sufferers. Emu Oil is derived from the Emu Bird --a bird native to Australia. Emu Oil has natural anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Emu oil was used by the aboriginals in Australia for centuries to treat a variety of conditions, including eczema.

Emu oil contains Vitamin E and Vitamin A and 70% unsaturated fatty acids especially omega -9, omega -6 and omega -3 fatty acids which are known to facilitate good health. Emu oil acts as a skin repairer antioxidant and healing agent. Emu oil is potentially bacteriostatic.

There is no permanent cure for eczema. However emu oil is very effective to minimise eczema symptoms and to keep the problem under control. Take a drop or two in the palm of your hand and apply into the affected portion of the body. Unlike other lotions and creams of eczema treatments it doesn't leave a greasy, heavily feeling. Emu oil is easily absorbed in the human skin.

The fats in emu oil are almost similar to fats in human skin. Emu oil contains no phosphorous. It makes it easier for effective skin penetration. It locks moisture back into the skin and helps to relieve the irritancy in the eczema symptoms.
