<font color=lime>Do you folk down under actually use this instead of asprin for pain relief? Just curious, there is currently an ad in the DC area claiming that you all have been using this "Wonder drug" for centuries.

Inquiring Minds want to know. (I don't care what you say, Im sticking with Ibuprofin and Asprin)</font>

This intrigues me. Just exactly how do you get the stuff? Is there some wierd sort of emu-pressing machinery? Is the whole process not extremely messy and noisey, as I would imagine that the emus would put up some resistance? Why can't we get something similar from ostriches, penguins and other flightless birds? Is this whole thing sort of similar to New Zealand's strange trade in extract of green-lipped mussel?

I look forward to some Antipodean elucidation [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]

Funny you mention this MagiK my dad sent me a jar last month! He swears by it, butI havent used much of it since I havent managed to pull muscles/mess myself up lately. Hopefully I rip a tendon or something soon so we can see if it works :D

Never heard of it so maybe it is a miracle cure. I can't imagine life without smearing myself with emu oil

I've never heard of it. I think it's a salve or a balm looking for a gimick.

I seem to recall a 'goanna oil' or 'goanna balm' and have seen 'tiger balm' many time (not Aussie)

If I could hazard a guess there'd be about as much Emu in Australian Blue Emu Oil as there is Scotsman in a Bic Mac...

Never heard of it. I use paracetamol *shrugs* ;)

Never heard of it. I've used goanna oil and tiger balm with success though.

I'd like to try gonorrhea oil, I've heard it does wonders

What about "Go Anna! Oi!"

Strewth! your not goanna tell me the oil is made from goanna's now are you?
anyway I'd rather go her sisters you know them, goada or gohomer!
