Ostrich Oil as Both a Medicinal Treatment and a Beauty Product

Anyone who has ever suffered from red, itchy skin rashes or any form of dry skin problems knows how difficult it can be to find a product that provides relief. Skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and contact dermatitis can be very stubborn and difficult to correct.

Many times the newest drugs and therapies being offered by the medical community do little in the way of relief and do not produce significant benefits. After doing some online reading, I discovered that many people are finding significant relief from these skin problems through the use of ostrich oil. I found numerous testimonials of people who have been helped by using ostrich oil to treat eczema, contact dermatitis, rosacea, dry skin and even arthritis.

Ostrich oil has long been used in ancient Egyptian, Roman and African cultures for both medicinal and cosmetic benefits. Ostrich oil is a wonderful moisturizer and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and is said to have been used by Cleopatra as a part of her skin care routine.

Today, scientists are re-discovering the benefits of ostrich oil. This oil is very high in essential fatty acids, omega 3, 6 and 9 and is completely non-comedogenic (will not clog pores). Because the molecules are almost identical to human skin and are even smaller than the molecules in human skin, the oil is quickly absorbed and does not sit on top of the skin as do so many moisturizers.

Emu oil also has been long touted as beneficial to the skin, but ostrich oil is found to have an even higher content of omega 3,6 and 9. These fatty acids are essential for cell growth, division and recovery. Ostrich oil is said to be great to use on burns, bedsores, eczema, insect bites, skin rashes and dry skin. Ostrich oil has been found to be both anti-inflammatory anti-fungal. Because ostrich oil is anti-inflammatory, it can be used for such conditions as rosacea, eczema, psoriasis and even gouty arthritic joints.

Ostrich oil can also be found in hand and body lotions, bath soaps, face creams, foot creams, and also as an ostrich oil rub. You can also purchase a bottle of pure ostrich oil which can be applied directly to the skin. Because the oil is quickly absorbed, it will not leave the skin feeling sticky or tacky to the touch. Ostrich oil can be used as a moisturizer beneath your favorite make-up during the day, and applied as a nighttime skin care product just before bedtime.

I am currently using ostrich oil to treat rosacea and am already seeing less redness in my face after only a few days of use. I have faithfully used the products prescribed by my dermatologist with little to no effect, so I am going to test out the use of ostrich oil. The oil costs less than my prescriptions and can be ordered online from several distributors. The ostrich oil is guaranteed to be 100% pure. I also like it as a moisturizer under my mineral make-up and I use it at bedtime to help increase the moisture level in my skin. So far, I am very pleased with this product.
