Warming Pain Blend with Emu Oil

The more I use it, the more I appreciate Emu oil. On a basic level, Emu has hormone-like compounds called Eicosanoids that trigger the body to increase blood flow to an area, also encouraging cells to soften their outer membrane to allow more oxygen in and more toxins out. These two factors encourage skin health and deep penetration to the dermis, where new cells are generated - making it an EXCEPTIONAL carrier oil for essential oils, especially pain blends.

Another special attribute of Emu oil - it contains Omega 3, 6, and 9 - Omega 9 is the major fatty acid and is responsible for the quick transport of bioactive compounds into the skin and deep penetration. Its overall composition is very close to our own skin's fatty acid composition. Soooo, now that you have a basic background on Emu oil, let me just say that I realize it's not vegan-friendly, but because it's a by-product of the Emu meat industry, I feel it's sustainable. If you want an alternative, please consider organic rosehip seed oil.

For this particular pain blend, I chose warming oils like Black Pepper and Clove that Emu Oil can take deep into the tissues of sore muscles, joined by the cooling and pain-relieving properties of the essential oils Birch and Peppermint. I also added Helichrysum for its renowned healing properties, but you could substitute Frankincense as well.

Important to note:

1. Note: Omit Birch if allergic to aspirin or on blood thinners.

If you know me at all, you know I have a passion for finding natural alternatives that enhance our use of essential oils. Emu oil is quickly becoming one of my go-to products. I'll let you in on a little secret: I now use Emu oil in my Ultimate Skin Serum! Emu oil can thicken skin, reportedly 14% if used twice a day. For my face, my scalp, and the back of my hands (because nothing shows your age like dry, wrinkly, sun-spotted hands), I consistently use Emu oil along with my favorite age-defying EOs!
