The emu is a flightless bird that resembles a small ostrich. Emu oil is taken from the fat of this bird during processing. It is used to make medicine. Emu oil is taken by mouth for improving cholesterol levels, as a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, for weight loss, and as a cough syrup for colds, H1N1 (swine) flu, and flu. Some people apply emu oil to the skin for relief from sore muscles, aching joints, pain or inflammation, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, shin splints, and gout.
More than 600 places in Australia are named after the emu. While running, the emuâs stride can be almost 9 feet (2.7 meters) long. The Australian coat of arms has the image of an emu and a kangaroo, both animals that cannot back up. An emu's body contains 3 gallons (13.6 liters) of oil. Emu oil is used in lotions, soaps, shampoo, and health care products. Our first emus arrived at the San Diego Zoo in 1925.
