Will emu oil make my septum easier to work with???

My ears are currently at 5/8, and after a good 6 months of having them in, I realized that a had small blowouts on the back of each ear. Although my ears healed as scar tissue and I thought that I'd be stuck with them, I started using some emu oil I picked up at the health food store. (Sorry BAF. Didn't have enough money to drop on a $50 visa gift card. AND it was overpriced there, mind you. =[ ) Since I've been using it twice a day, It completely rid me of my blowouts, thickened up my lobes, and they actually feel good. It's wierd.

I guess what I'm getting at is, if I keep salt soaking my septum followed by a (rather odd smelling) emu oil massage, will my septum have better stretching results also?

My septum is currently at an 8g, although my goal for now is a 6g.

This stretch is the most drastic change my septum will have endure for a while, so i'd prefer some intelligent advice.

Please be helpful? =]

 although 8g to 6g, is usually a tough stretch for many, including myself for my ears.

the 8 to 6g stretch in my septum was extremely easy. 8g was the size in which i could start tuggin on my septum, with absolutely no discomfort. i tugged on it constantly a week or so prior to the stretch. and with 1 full day of taping, i was at a 6g, no pain or anything

 Ahh I just started stretching my septum too and i was tugging it for afew days before the stretch.. I'm not sure why but i thought that tugging it was bad.. i did it anyway xD

 Anywho, I'm glad to hear that you tugged yours as well, cause yours looks nice and big and really healthy :) and now i know i didn't cause any major damage haha

 I spent about two weeks taping my septum from 8-6g. It was a tough stretch for me the first time I did it with a taper and a plug, so I downsized waited a while then taped. I do not encourage what Micheal did, I personally think anymore that 1-2 wraps a day max is enough. The irritation alone from the constant insertion and removal during the day like that could lead to a tear, especially if each time the jewelry is a bit bigger than the hole. 

So gently tugging on it definately isn't harmful to it?

 well even for lobes, tuggin and weights can cause uneven stretching. andim sure the same would apply to septum. i didnt tug to force any stretches, i tugged to loosen up the piercing.

 and yea compared to everyone else on the boards, i would say i tape extremely fast. but i know wat my body can and cant handle.

if i remember correctly,  the timeline for this stretch was:

wake up, remove cbr, tape on about an inch of teflon tape. oiled/smoothed and flattened it out real well. inserted into my nose. was comfortable enough with the tightness to not add more tape. day goes on. oil it up with a q tip around both sides of my septum to moisturize it. sleep. wake up. oil up the piercing. remove ring. remove old tape. add on 2 inches of teflon tape. compare to 6g ring and noticed they were the same. and then easily inserted 6 ring in.

most of my taping experiences on ears and lobes are pretty quick. longest was my most recent 2g-0g stretch on my septum. which took a full week of super slow taping

From a 8g to a 6g is cake, actully every stretch up to a 2g is relatively easy. But if you plan on going any bigger from a 2g to a 0g was by far the worst, the easiest method stretching would be take a HOT shower and cup your hands and blow your nose into the hot water then put neosporin and followed through with the taper. I'm currently at 000g and plan on going to 7/16's in about a month : )
