(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 23, 2009 ) Manassas, VA- Emu Oil is most definitely THE blast from the past. The use of emu oil dates back over forty thousand years to the Ancient Australian Aborigine culture. Today this special oil has become one of the hottest new skincare treatments in todayÂ’s marketplace. It is being used by many Hollywood beauties such as Australian born Cate Blanchett.
In the beginning emus, a large flightless bird native to Australia, were hunted for their low fat red meat and oil. The oil was used as a moisturizer, for relief from chronic skin conditions, to help heal wounds and protect their skin form the harsh elements of wind and sun.
Nearly 70 years ago, emus were brought into the US, initially for use in zoos and as exotic pets. Eventually through research, word caught on that emus could provide a healthy red meat, fine leather, feathers and amazing oil with countless medical and cosmetic benefits. A growing number of users including professional sports teams, chiropractors, massage and physical therapists as well as other medical professionals report excellent results from emu oil based products. There are clinical studies with evidence documenting that it contains a high level of Omega 3, a substance known to ease the discomfort of joint and muscle pain.
Besides the long list of potential medical benefits, this ancient remedy is also used for cosmetic purposes. Maintaining good hydration, skin integrity and elasticity is essential for the prevention of dry, aging skin. The application of emu oil will allow the essential fatty acids to penetrate the epidermal layers of skin down to the basal layer where it enhances new cell proliferation. The hyper-oxygenation of the fatty acid esters contained in emu oil increase the local blood flow to the areas of application.
Cate Blanchett, the “down under stunner,” was recently featured in Marie Claire Magazine; sharing her personal beauty routine with emu oil based products. “The indigenous communities in Australia have always used this to moisturize. Also, if you’re burned or have eczema it’s just incredible,” notes Blanchett. Cate Blanchett uses Mundara, the new skincare line just introduced by Thunder Ridge Emu Products, to moisturize her beautiful, yet pale skin.
Mundara, which means thunder in many aboriginal dialects, is a series of personal care products made from 100% American Emu Oil and other natural ingredients.
