  • Chickenpox

Symptoms: a chickenpox rash starts with little red spots which eventually develop into tiny fluid-filled blisters, other related symptoms include fever, nausea, headache, muscle aches and loss of appetite

Commonly affected areas: usually begin on the face and then spread to the whole body

Treatment using Emu Oil: chickenpox is a virus, if symptoms appear, should always consult a doctor and apply proper treatment first. During the healing process, applying Emu Oil can assist in reducing itching and prevent scarring of the skin

 

  • Mosquito bite

A mosquito bite can leave an itchy, raised bump on the skin, which can be very uncomfortable for adults, let alone babies and infants.

Applying Emu Oil can instantly stop the itching and reduce the redness and swelling.
