Study to determine if emu oil showed
anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic activity in laboratory animals. Reported results
from their experiments indicated that "the most potent formulation was
achieved when methyl salicylate(wintergreen oil), isopropanol and menthol were combined with emu
oil" Apparently, a "synergistic effect was occurring between the
emu oil and the methyl salicylate, for the anti-inflammatory activity of
the combination was greater than the sum of either component when used alone
(with isopropanol)."
