The Australian Aborigines used emu oil for ousands of years, gaining numerous benefits, and some of these have carried over into modern times. Emu oil is a strong source of Oleic acid, which is one of the best fatty acids. Research has proven that oleic acid is important for a healthy heart diet and has a beneficial effect on cardiovascular disease. It helps to regenerate skin cells, while also having anti-inflammatory effects, and offering long lasting state of pain relief in the affected area.
Recent research and laboratory testing from Adelaide University has shown that emu oil can enhance the repair of the bowel lining and intestines of patients who suffer from intestinal ulcers resulting from chemotherapy.
Research has also shown benefits of emu oil in reducing scars and speeding the healing process; reducing irritation caused by eczema; assisting hair regrowth; and as a skin moisturiser. See the related link below on Emu oil research for more details.

Research does seem to support this.In the publication "Emu Oil - A Clinical Appraisal of this Natural and Long Used Product" for use on Epithelialised Wounds by Dr G H Hobday, he concluded that emu oil had demonstrated both scar reduction and anti-inflammatory action. Emu oil hastened post-surgery healing, and the healing of burns, by reducing inflammation, minimising scarring and soothing pain. Because emu oil is sterile, it could be used in an open area of the skin." Hobday also concluded: "It reduces irritation in eczema, the scarring of keloids and has advantages in skin grafting."
