Step 1: Take a few drops of pure Emu oil in your washed palm, rub it with the other palm and apply gently on the area where it is supposed to be affected.

A single emu oil drop can roughly cover an area as much as the size of the back of a hand. Keeping that in mind, use this oil in approximate quantity to maintain its quality.

Step 2: You do not need to massage deeply to heal muscle pains and aches. This is because the oil is a penetrating oil and will go underneath the layers of the skin and reaches joints and imparts soothing effects to the areas that are directly concerned without wasting the use of it.

Once you are done using it, the skin should feel oil free. If it feels oily, then you have used it excessively and ultimately not correctly. Keep the amount in mind so that you can refrain from misusing it thereafter.

Step 3: When emu oil is to be used in pretty light concentration, mix a very small amount of pure emu oil with few clear water drops into your palm. Apply this mixture to the skin. Water will evaporate eventually which will leave a thin emu oil layer on the skin. This way of usage is particularly suitable for high humid conditions.

Step 2: Now, use both your hands and fingers to spread oil all over the roots of your hair. Use adequate emu pure oil as per your hair length.

Apply pure emu oil covering entire area of your scalp. Create gaps in between hair and apply emu oil drop by drop in the areas of the scalp. Using fingers, spread the oil in approximate surrounding areas. Keep applying drops as necessary and repeat the process till the entire scalp is covered. There is no need to rub the oil deeply because emu oil absorbs into the scalp skin.

Step 3: Many people have found that leaving emu pure oil in the hair throughout the night gives extra effects and provides better results than normal. Use a plastic cap to cover the hair, so that emu oil does not leave the hair.

Step 4: Hair-wash with a recommended emu shampoo, following a famous emu conditioner to achieve highest quality results.

Check on the label for AUST L number on the oil container to confirm that your emu oil is pure and worth buying. If the one you are buying is listed under Australia-Register of Therapeutic-Goods (ARTG), then it means that it can be supplied in Australia.
