Emu Oil for Wounds...
Emu oil helps the skin with its natural
healing process. It helps to rebulid
damaged skin cells, form new collagen
cells, and increase the strength of skin
tissue in the area of the wound.
The Proliferative Stage of a wound comes
after the initial Inflammatory stage
(the inflammatory stage is the first 2 -
3 days).
After the inflammatory stage, the
proliferative stage lasts about 3 weeks
(or longer, depending on the severity of thewound). Granulation occurs, which
means that special cells called
fibroblasts make collagen to fill in the
wound. New blood vessels form. The wound
gradually contracts and is covered by a
layer of skin.
When should you apply Emu Oil to a wound?
It should be noted that it is thought
emu oil may have anti-inflammatory
effects and so should not be placed on
wounds immediately, but placed on the
wound during the proliferative stage.
This will help the body to rebuild the
damaged skin tissue, and prevent scaring.
