Skin Ulcers
Skin Ulcers- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Skin ulcers are open sores that are often accompanied by the sloughing-off of inflamed tissue.
Skin ulcers can be caused by a variety of events, such as trauma, exposure to heat or cold, problems with blood circulation, or irritation from exposure to corrosive material. Pressure ulcers, also known as decubitus ulcers or bedsores, are skin ulcers that develop on areas of the body where the blood supply has been reduced because of prolonged pressure; these may occur in people confined to bed or a chair, or in those who must wear a hard brace or plaster cast. Skin ulcers may become infected, with serious health consequences. Other health conditions that can cause skin ulcers include mouth ulcers (canker sores), chronic venous insufficiency, diabetes, infection, and peripheral vascular disease.

Comments about Thunder Ridge® Emu Products Emu Oil:
I love this product! I bought it specifically for my stretch marks. I have started using it only for about three weeks now and it is healing my 12 year old stretch marks from having kids! I only wish the bottle was bigger for its price.. Overall I am satisfied with the outcome and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get rid of stretch marks or scars or just any kind of skin problem because it really does work! :) Though you must be dedicated to using it at least 3x a day or more if possible for better faster results like I've been doing.. Also, everyone has different skin types but I believe it does work as long as you faithfully use it everyday... I saw result within a week, others may take 1 week to 1 month to see results if used faithfully. I'm will keep using it even after my stretch marks are completely gone just because it prevents them as well as make your skin feel so soft and healthy looking.. Good-luck to all! ^_^

Comments about Thunder Ridge® Emu Products Emu Oil:
Used the product for new scars healing process, dandruff control, minimize thinning hair, and for itchy eczema skin.
It's odorless and I like that it's a pump that measures enough amount for each serving. Less is better and the 4 oz has last me for two months worth!Displaying reviews 1-2
