The emu is a flightless bird that resembles a small ostrich. Emu oil is taken from the fat of this bird during processing. It is used to make medicine. Emu oil is taken by mouth for improving cholesterol levels, as a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, for weight loss, and as a cough syrup for colds, H1N1 (swine) flu, and flu. Some people apply emu oil to the skin for relief from sore muscles, aching joints, pain or inflammation, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, shin splints, and gout.
Emu oil. Yes, that emu. The animal, the bird, the legend. This is a paste of the birds' gizzards and intestine-couching fat. While its provenance can be a little unsettling, this oil is restorative, an anti-inflammatory, and to me, no weirder than Vaseline.
