Emu Oil Pure Premium Golden 4 Ounces

Hello to my fellow Amazonites:I give mostly 5 star reviews I have noticed. It's not because I am easily satisfied because I am not. I demand the best. I then realized the reason is because before I purchase anything I spend a lot of time researching it to find the best, so I usually get the best. Rarely am I disappointed. So goes for this wonderful product. I would not have believed it was possible for this product to do what it did, and to think, I actually ordered this for dry skin. I remain amazed.I am on 2 narcotic pain medications plus Lyrica and anti-inflamatory meds for chronic pain due to early onset of arthritis in my hips, spine, groin, pelvis and knees. I can barely walk anymore and when I try I pop like popcorn, it is so noisy and painful. I need both hip and knee replacements. Lately, it has gotten so bad that my strong narcotic meds barely touch this pain. It is a sharp , deep pain that hurts when I just touch my skin. i have gotten very little sleep at all. I had remembered I use to buy this super blue cream in a jar that seemed to help my pain and it had Emu oil. That was when my pain was not nearly this bad though. I could not sleep and was crying in pain. Every move was so painful. I decided to rub some of this on me where it hurts, thinking I had nothing to lose but doubted it would help this kind of pain intensity. I rubbed it on one side only. I fell asleep. I awoke in pain soon after but the side I put it on was not the side that woke me up hurting, it was the other side. I could not believe it and tried to rationalize it. Then I rubbed it on the other side and same thing. it just works.I research things "to death" I have been told. I give up trying to figure out how. I usually have to crawl up the stairs on hands and knees and today I walked up. Yes, I have pain and still need the hip and knee replacements but I walked up! I also noticed I did not have the popping and cracking with every step, only some. To me that is a big deal.I intend to continue using this. I intend to research other uses for it. A little goes a long way . I also massaged my scalp with it as I have heard it is great for your scalp and hair. I still have to wash it out but am expecting my hair to be in better condition. I just put it on a little cyst with pain my son has on his ear/jaw to see if it will help. If not ...to the Dr.You can guess by now that I highly recommend this Emu Oil and this company. I also want to say that when the Post Office held up my order , I did not know at the time, I thought it might be lost, this wonderful company Fed Exed me out another bottle. They were so kind and helpful.Please try this product and purchase it from this company. Their product is excellent. I can not smell a poultry oder in it at all. It is light color and creamy texture which means high quality Emu Oil. It may or may not work for you but if it does it will save you some suffering. It is worth a try!Blessings!1/23/11 UPDATE: I still use and love this and am going to order more. Today my son had a bad case of the flu with bad joint aches. I used this on him and his pain subsided almost immediately. He was able to finally sleep. This stuff works.I also mix this now with Cobraxin , also sold on amazon and is a miracle pain reliever also. Mixed, they work even better together. Cobraxin is made with cobra venom and has the recommendation of the Arthritis Foundation. I mix them because the Emu Oil helps joint and muscle pain and so does Cobraxin, but, Cobraxin leaves me with the smallest amount of warmth, 'heat 'sensation. Together they really "pack a punch".

Along w/ honey, bee pollen & bee propilis, emu oil is another reason I don't really want to go fully vegan.This not only makes my skin softer, more importantly, it helps w/ itchiness, irritation, rash, eczema, mild inflammation, etc.I don't know where they get their birds from or where this is made, but I put this up there along w/ some of the emu oils I've used in & from Australia (I visit regularly).The texture is quite thick. Southern California in spring, summer can get quite warm, so it's not solid like shea butter or coconut oil on a cold day, but it's still quite thick & viscous. To compare, my previous bottle of emu oil, also AEA certified, was much more thin & runny.The color is a creamy white mostly opaque color. By contrast, the previous bottle was comparatively clear.There is little odor and what odor it does have is not at all bad. It's quite neutral. Many people won't be able tp smell anything at all.Despite the thickness & viscosity, it absorbs into the skin quite quickly & thoroughly. It doesn't leave lingering oiliness. In that regard, it absorbs into my skin more like good quality aloe gel than most oils.Also, a little goes a long way. I tested out a tiny bit and was able to cover a lot for such a tiny amount (the tiny bit that was stuck to the bottle seal under the cap you have to remove or break to use). By contrast, I would have to use a lot more to get the same coverage from the previous bottle's emu oil.Due to a little going a longer way, the value isn't bad. On paper it may seem pricey (definitely significantly more expensive than previous bottle of a different brand), but I use way less than half of what I'd use of the other brand. This bottle costs less than 2 times the price of the other bottle, so right there the Koru Natural/Naturals New Zealand bottle of emu oil is a better value.Shipping was also fast. Despite the cross country shipping, it still arrived before the arrival date range.I was not compensated for this review, nor was I offered anything free in exchange for an honest review (though I sure wouldn't complain if koru naturals/naturals new Zealand hooked me up w/ something).I recommend this.
