A Closer Look At Some Of The Ingredients In Relief First Cream…
Emu Oil
The
ancient Australian Aborigines utilized penetrating Emu Oil as a remedy for skin
that is injured, dry, sunburned, or wind parched and to relieve aching muscles
and joints.
Emu Oil was
commonly used as a folk remedy to treat various skin conditions, muscles and
joint pain, even the symptoms of arthritis and rheumatism. Now the ancient wisdom
of Emu Oil has been reviewed by the scientific community.
Science is
proving Emu Oil may be beneficial for the relief of pain and inflammation of
injured tissues and joints. Modern research has documented that Emu Oil possesses
numerous beneficial qualities. Laboratory experiments and analysis of Emu Oil
both in Australia and in the U.S. have confirmed that Emu Oil has the ability
to reduce inflammation of the joints.
Emu Oil contains
high levels of linolenic acid... a substance known to temporarily ease joint
pain, and oleic acid... a substance which has a local anti-inflammatory effect
on dermal tissues.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera has more than 200 biologically active agents. Some include
polysaccharides, phytosterols, glycerol, vitamins E, B & C and zinc. Aloe
vera has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties, burn healing effects,
wound and scar reducing properties and many more.
Studies show that aloe vera improves the skin's ability to hydrate
itself, aids in the removal of dead skin cells and has an effective penetrating
ability that helps transport healthy substances through the skin.
Rice
Bran Oil
Rice bran is an incredible source of the vitamins, minerals, amino
acids, essential fatty acids and antioxidant nutrients that help fight disease
and promote good health. It's no wonder the healthy oil that comes from rice
bran is becoming so successful at replacing hydrogenated oils containing trans
fat. Research is on-going with this invaluable food source and scientists have
found components critical to human health.
Methylsulfonylmethane
(MSM)
MSM is a natural compound derived from a plant source that has been
widely used to support joint health and relief of minor pain. MSM is a sulfur
donor for the synthesis of collagen. MSM may help to promote proper inflammatory
response and assist in maintaining the synovial fluid which may help in lubricating
joints.
Hyaluronic
Acid
As Hyaluronic Acid is present in every tissue of the body; hyaluronic
acid’s importance cannot be underestimated. Retention of water is one
of the most important biological functions of hyaluronic acid, second only to
providing nutrients and removing waste from cells that do not have a direct
blood supply, such as cartilage cells. With a lower than adequate amount of
hyaluronic acid, nutrients cannot be moved into these cells and waste cannot
be eliminated from cells.
Grape
Seed Extract
In most skin cream products, grape seed oil is a preferred cosmetic
ingredient for damaged and stressed tissues, possessing regenerative and restructuring
qualities which allow a better control of skin moisturization. It may help skin
retain the normal structure of epithelium cells and nerve cells via supporting
the cell membranes. As a light, thin oil, grape seed oil leaves a glossy film
over the skin when used as a carrier oil for cream products. It contains more
linoleic acid than many other carrier oils.
Ginger
Ginger has been revered in Indian and Chinese civilizations for over
5000 years for its powerful and varied health imparting properties. Danish researchers
found that ginger can block the effects of prostaglandin - a substance that
cause inflammation.
Arthritis- Trials in Denmark with ginger showed that more than three quarters
of those tested experienced relief in pain and swelling.
Colloidal
Silver
There are many benefits of colloidal silver. Colloidal silver supports
the natural defense system of the body and is powerfully alkaline. It is created
when an electromagnetic process pulls tiny particles of silver from a larger
sample of pure silver into (usually distilled) water. The minute electric charge
on each atom holds these silver particles in suspension. This is essential to
the effectiveness of the silver as it allows the particles to move more easily
throughout the body.
RESEARCH
Emu
Oil
Experimental
Study to Determine the Anti-Arthritic Activity of a New Emu Oil Formulation (EMMP)
(1993)
By: Dr. Peter Ghosh at Royal North Shore Hospital of Sydney, Australia and Dr.
Michael Whitehouse at
University of Adelaide, Australia.
SUMMARY:
A combination of emu oil with a suitable transdermal transporter is found
to show anti-inflammatory (anti-rheumatic) activity in various rat models.
Emu Oil: A Source
of Non-Toxic Transdermal Anti-Inflammatory Agents in Aboriginal Medicine
(1997)
By: Dr. Michael
Whitehouse and Athol Turner, Dept. of Medicine, University of Queensland, Australia.
(Source: Inflammopharmacology, San Francisco, March 1997 conference proceedings.
Reprinted from
AEA News, Summer 1997 issue).
SUMMARY:
Ongoing studies on the anti-inflammatory activity of emu oils, as tested using
the arthritis-induced rat model, indicate that different emu oils vary in
their ability to suppress arthritic symptoms.
Emu Oil:
Burn Study Results (AEA Funded, 1995-1998)
Report By: Margaret Pounder, AEA President. (Reprinted from AEA EMUpdate, Summer
1998 issue).
SUMMARY: A Long term study was
initiated by Dr. John Griswold, Director of the Timothy J.Harnar Burn Center
(affiliated with Texas Tech University Medical Center, Lubbock Texas) in 1995
to analyze the potential effects of emu oil in the healing of reepithelialized
burn wounds. The study found that patients "almost unanimously favored
emu oil as an end result and during application", and that there was
a statistically significant difference in scar reduction and inflammation
of the emu oil treated wounds.
Fatty Acid Analysis of Emu Oil (AEA funded
study, 1994)
By: Dr. Paul Smith, Dr. Margaret Craig-Schmidt, Amanda Brown at Auburn University.
(Reprinted from AEA News, September 1994 Issue).
SUMMARY:
Analysis of fatty acids in emu oil reveals that it contains approximately
70 % unsaturated fatty acids. The major fatty acid found in emu oil is oleic
acid, which is monounsaturated and which comprises over 40 % of the total
fatty acid content. Emu oil also contains both of the two essential fatty
acids (EFA's) which are important to human health: 20 % linoleic, and 1 -
2 % alpha-linolenic acid.
Fatty Acid Composition:
Comparative analysis of emu, ostrich and rhea oil
(1996)
By: Dr. Margaret Craig-Schmidt and K.R. Willian at Auburn University. (Abstracts:
88th AOCS
Annual Meeting & Expo, Seattle WA, May 1997).
SUMMARY: A comparison between oil rendered
from the fat of the emu, the ostrich and the rhea reveals that the predominant
fatty acid in ostrich and rhea oils is palmitic acid, and of emu oil is oleic
acid.
Emu Oil: Comedogenicity Testing (Study
done for E.R.I., 1993)
By: Department of Dermatology, at University of Texas Medical School, Houston.
SUMMARY: Testing using the rabbit ear histological
assay, with emu oil in concentrations of 25%, 75 % and 100 % shows that emu
oil in concentrations of up to 100 % is non-comedogenic, i.e. it does not
clog the pores of the skin.
Moisturizing and Cosmetic Properties of Emu Oil: A Double
Blind Study (1994).
By: Dr. Alexander Zemtsov, Indiana University School of Medicine: Dr. Monica Gaddis,
Ball Memorial Hospital; and Dr. Victor Montalvo-Lugo, Ball Memorial Hospital.
(Reprinted from AEA News, October/November 1994 issue)
SUMMARY: Eleven human subjects took part
in a double-blind clinical study which compared emu oil with mineral oil in
texture, skin permeability and moisturizing properties, as well as comedogenicity
and irritability to the skin. No irritation to the skin was observed with
either oil. However, comedogenicity of emu oil was significantly lower
than that of mineral oil, and all subjects stated a unanimous preference for
emu oil.
Composition
of Emu Oil: The Micro View (1997)
By: Dr. Leigh Hopkins, AEA Oil Standards Team (Research Leader). (Reprinted
from AEA News, Spring 1997 issue).
SUMMARY:
When compared with human skin oil, the fatty acid composition of emu oil is
found to be quite similar. In both types of oil, mono-unsaturated oleic acid
is the most prevalent fatty acid, followed by palmitic acid, then linoleic acid,
which is an EFA (essential fatty acid). This similarity may be one of the factors
enabling emu oil to have such a positive action on human skin.
Aloe Vera
Dr. Timothy E. Moore's research on Aloe and dental
health at the International Aloe Science Council (IASC) describes
gel from the plant as having the ability to heal, control the accumulation
of fluids, and reduce pain. He has also found that in denture patients,
aloe can reduce inflammation and discomfort.

Abstract Wound healing is a fundamental response to tissue injury that results
in restoration of tissue integrity. This end is achieved mainly by the synthesis
of the connective tissue matrix. Collagen is the major protein of the extracellular
matrix, and is the component which ultimately contributes to wound strength. In
this work, we report the influence of Aloe Vera on the collagen content and its
characteristics in a healing wound. It was observed that Aloe vera increased the
collagen content of the granulation tissue as well as its degree of crosslinking
as seen by increased aldehyde content and decreased acid solubility. The type
I/type III collagen ratio of treated groups were lower than that of the untreated
controls, indicating enhanced levels of type III collagen. Wounds were treated
either by topical application or oral administration of Aloe vera to rats and
both treatments were found to result in similar effects.
