4. Rapid Burn Healing
Emu oil is used to help burns heal rapidly. One study looked at the effects on superficial burns. In just three days the oil decreased both swelling and effusion, with no infection or adverse effects. Emu oil is gentle on the skin, thanks in part to it being naturally hypoallergenic. Another study highlighted the oil's ability to encourage new skin growth in burn areas after just two days of use. The Timothy J. Harmon Burn Center, at Texas Tech University, conducted a study on how the oil affects burns. The research notes improvements in both lubrication and hydration, which aided the burn healing process.
