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.

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.
