That's the trouble with emu oil....try to grab hold of an aerial in the wind and you find that it's just far too slippery.

How DO you oil an emu anyway....or shouldn't I ask?

When I was in Oz earlier in the year, many people swore by it, claiming it helps very many types of skin compaint, as use by aboriginees for centuries ( but looking at their skin it could be said it doesn`t work ! ! )
If trying it, try and get the pure oil, not the watered down stuff mixed with cheaper ingredients.
Here are some of the alleged benefits, unfortunately none of them independently scientifically proven ..

Can be used on all types of skin as often as needed
Can be used to reduce swelling and muscle soreness after training or if someone has suffered an injury (contains no steroids or hormones).
Excellent for people getting sports therapy massage they can use the oil, which will provide an added benefit (contains high levels of linolenic acid, a substance that eases joint pain).
Ideal for people concerned about skin conditions or reactions.
It’s non-comedogenic. Does not clog pores (or cause acne).
Reduces inflammation caused by arthritis (when used regularly reduces inflammation and swelling).
Prevents scarring by enhancing the skin's growth activity if applied to a recent cut or burn (speeds up the healing process with less pain).
Excellent for healing open wounds (speeds up the healing process with less pain).
Prevents stretch marks and aids in diminishing or completely erasing stretch marks.
Very effective on first and second-degree burns. Reduces pain, blistering and scarring (Speeds up the healing process with less pain).
Excellent for minor cuts and scratches
Stimulates hair follicles to proliferate and grow (many male users have reported renewed hair growth), and is great for nails (Improves the rate of growth and the condition).
Excellent for insect bites (due to it’s anti-inflammatory properties).
Increases skin thickness (by as much as 14%) and reduces wrinkles (penetrating through and conditioning multiple layers of the skin allowing your skin to look and feel it's best).
Excellent moisturizer (leaves skin feeling soft, supple, and more hydrated).
Soothes discomfort from sunburns (sidesteps the peeling phase), acne, eczema and rashes etc.
Helps skin to withstand colder climates.
Has a natural ‘SPF’ (sun protection factor).
Prevents or reduces nosebleeds when applied to nasal passages.
Great for headaches, especially migraines.
Excellent for dry skin, scalp treatment, dry, damaged hair, and chapped lips (in any climate).
And much more.

PS my sister used it for problem skin on her feet and it helped - so it does work !
