Emu Oil can be found in some cosmetic products for psoriasis. Emu Oil psoriasis products are usually rather expensive. There are no claims that Emu Oil can treat psoriasis.
Emu Oil is obtained from a processed Emu fat. There are various ways to process Emu fat, so if you decide to try Emu Oil for psoriasis treatment - it is important that you only get Emu Oil from a completely trusted source.
The exact mechanism of Emu Oil is unknown; most likely the benefits of Emu Oil for the skin are due to a high enough content of Essential Fatty Acids Omega-3 and Omega-6 in the Emu Oil.
I believe that Emu Oil can be replaced with other oils with Omega-3 and Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acids.
How Emu Oil Works
The effect of Emu Oil varies from person to person with psoriasis - some people do not note any effect at all, while other people say that creams with Emu Oil help them to remove the inflammation, dryness and itchiness associated with psoriasis.
Emu Oil psoriasis remedies are believed to possess anti-inflammatory properties and a power to penetrate well through the skin. Emu Oil, just like our skin, has no phosphorus in it. Many cosmetic products have phosphorus, and our skin is simply 'programmed' to keep phosphorus from penetrating. Due to that there is no phosphorus in Emu Oil; it penetrates better through our skin. Oleic acid in Emu Oil seems to also improve the penetrative abilities of Emu Oil.
Emu Oil works very well for some people with psoriasis when applied topically, when other sources of the Essential Fatty Acids do not. This could be due to the similarity of Emu Oil with the fats in our skin which may enable Emu oil to easier penetrate through our skin and to easier mix with the human body fats.
Emu Oil may provide the necessary fats that are required for normal skin cells function.
