Emu oil is a useful, versatile remedy to carry on vacation.
Loveland, CO (PRWEB) July 26, 2006 -- It’s summertime, and that means enjoying the great outdoors. Unfortunately, that also means sunburns, bites, scrapes, and stings. But thanks to the versatility and strength of emu oil, you can treat all those problems with just one handy bottle.
Sunburn is caused by over exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. It can cause pain, swelling, redness, fever, itching, and peeling. Though those symptoms are temporary, there are dangerous lasting effects from sun exposure than can increase your risk of skin cancer. It is recommended that you wear a sun block of SPF 30 or more whenever you go out in the sun.
But if it’s too late, there are some steps you can take to ease the discomfort. When you detect overexposure, get out of the sun as soon as possible. Take a cool shower or apply cool washcloths to the affected area. For pain, take an over-the-counter pain reliever if necessary, such as aspirin or ibuprofen. However, do not give aspirin to children, as it can cause Reye’s Syndrome, a potentially fatal disease that affects the organs.
Allow blisters to heal and don’t pick at peeling skin. Treat the burn with soothing, moisturizing emu oil to help it recover faster. Emu oil is often preferred over Aloe Vera as a comforting topical application. Says Dr. Barry Sears, President of Sears Laboratories: “From the preliminary data that I’ve seen, I think that emu oil is vastly superior to Aloe Vera in what it does. I believe emu oil is much more effective than Aloe Vera, and definitely an order of magnitude more effective than Vitamin E in terms of treating a wide variety of skin conditions.”
Emu oil is a natural anti-inflammatory, moisturizer, and pain reliever. These capabilities make it perfect for soothing the suffering of sunburns. Emu oil has an incredible ability to penetrate the skin because its molecular makeup is so similar to that of our own flesh. Emu oil is absorbed into the dermis to revitalize collagen and elastin. It heals the skin from deep within.
As a moisturizer, emu oil prevents peeling and keeps the skin soft and smooth. Its anti-inflammatory capabilities help ease the severity of sunburn, and emu oil’s pain relief is a welcome aid. Dermatologists know the soothing power of emu oil.
Says Houston-based dermatologist Dr. Estra Klonberg: “When I realized how well [emu oil] fights inflammation, I began using it for many different problems, all with good results. It works quickly, our patients have been really pleased, and they are intrigued because it is a natural substance.” In addition to first and second degree burns, Dr. Kronberg has had good success with rosacea patients. “Even though it is an oil, it seems to [repair] inflamed, ruddy and raw skin.” That includes bites, rashes, scrapes, and stings as well.
This summer, toss some emu oil in your suitcase for the relief of a variety of seasonal irritations. For more information on emu oil and sunburns, visit www.pure-emu-oil.com.
