Emu Oil

From sunburns to poison ivy, Emu oil has properties which promote wound healing.  It is gentle for all skin types and does not clog pores.  It is natural and hypo-allergenic, making it great for people with sensitive skin and allergies.  Emu oil may be used for the whole body.  Its basis and benefits are derived from Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). 

Emu Oil contains both Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.  Omega-3 fatty acids are good for the heart.  The Omega-3 oils increase the concentrations of good cholesterol while decreasing the concentrations of bad cholesterol.  Omega-6, or Linoleic acid, is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that produces prostaglandins.  Prostaglandins are substances that are found in every cell and are needed for the body’s overall health maintenance and must be replenished constantly.  Fatty acids help to maintain the health of cell membranes, improve nutrient use, and establish and control cellular metabolism.  They also provide the raw materials that help in the control of blood pressure, blood clotting, inflammation, body temperature, and other body functions.

Some suggested uses for Emu Oil:

OcuSoft Eyelid Cleanser

OcuSoft Lid Scrub cleansing formula removes oil, debris and desquamated skin which may cause eye irritation.  It has a clinically trusted non-irritating formula.  Ocusoft improves contact lens wearer comfort and effectively removes cosmetics.

TheraTears Nutrition (1200mg Omega-3 Supplement)

TheraTears Nutrition supports eye comfort and healthy tears from the inside.  Omega-3 oils are called “essential” fatty acids because good health requires that they be in your diet.  The problem is that virtually all of us don’t get enough Omega-3s in the food we eat.  Your body uses Omega-3 oils to support healthy tear production that improves eye comfort by keeping the eyes moisturized.  TheraTears Nutrition provides all of the Omega-3s your eyes need, so as you continue to take it, your eyes will continue to feel their best. 

The oil glands in your eyelids use essential fatty acids to manufacture the oil layer of the tear film.  TheraTears Nutrition provides the Omega-3s you oil glands need to make the healthy oil that coats your tear film to reduce evaporation.  This healthy oil protects and moisturizes the eye and supports healthy tear function.

At the same time the two types of Omega-3s in TheraTears Nutrition from flaxseed oil and fish oil, also protect your lacrimal gland and help it make healthy amounts of tear fluid.  As a result TheraTears Nutrition supports healthy, comfortable eyes throughout the day.
