Golden Emu Oil

Famous for its natural healing qualities, GEO is incorporated into quite a comprehensive range of products, including, as can be seen here, general hand and body lotion, gardener's hand cream, especially formulated to moisturise dry hands and heal cracked fingers, GEO in easily swallowable capsule form, for inner health. GEO contains all the necessary oils and minerals found in fish but without the nasty after taste. Blue Active Gel is a muscle rub which gives a refreshing almost camphor like tingle to the skin when applied.

Emu Oil was for many years one of the native Australians' greatest secrets to their good health but now is readily available. It is sourced from farmed birds under strict controls so there are no concerns about poaching or extinction to the wild birds.

Be aware though that not all Emu Oils available are as proven as Golden Emu Oil, so make sure you get the right stuff. Aches and pains from strenuous work, or simply cold, stiff knees and joints after a long ride, can be eased away with a few drops of GEO as a relaxing emollient in a hot bath. At the other extreme, a few drops applied to sunburned skin takes away that unpleasant soreness.
