Anecdotal evidence and clinical experiments show that Emu Oil is an effective alternative to cortisone in the treatment of skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. The properties of Emu oil relieve itching and irritation, removes redness and the appearance of aggravation, softens the skin, and importantly allows the condition to heal where the skin is broken. Emu oil also removes the dryness and flaking of dead skin.
