The resin-like substance mumiyo is very popular not only in cosmetology, but also in medicine.

There are universal and specific recipes for using mumiyo . The medicine recipe, like any folk one, should be selected to suit the needs of your body, use mumiyo on a regular basis and enjoy the results.

Mumiyo: composition and therapeutic effect

Mumiyo is an organic-mineral product that accumulates in rock crevices of mountain ranges. The regions of Southern Siberia and Transbaikalia, the Far East, as well as India, Iran, Burma and Indonesia are considered rich in the production of mumiyo.

In nature, mumiyo is found in the form of the so-called raw material - it is a heterogeneous resinous mass of dark brown or brown-black color. Raw mumiyo has a granular texture; these are particles of mineral, plant or animal origin - sand and rock fragments, seeds and wood particles, mummified components of the life activity of mountain inhabitants, insect shells, bones and animal hair. With all these particles, polymerization and mummification processes gradually occur. Shilajit often contains components that are centuries old. In its pure, unprocessed form, one can guess what value mumiyo is, but it is practically unsuitable for use. Before falling into the hands of doctors, mumiyo is cleaned of components potentially dangerous to human life, filtered and not only. All kinds of extracts and squeezes, filtration and evaporation methods transform the raw material into high-quality mumiyo, in which there is no debris, but the entire range of therapeutic and prophylactic qualities is preserved. In appearance, the purified mummy is a thick, homogeneous mass. It is flexible, wrinkles easily, and has a shiny surface. The taste is bitter, the smell is spicy, the color remains the original. Shilajit dissolves in alcohol, oils and, of course, water.

Shilajit that ends up on retail shelves can contain up to 80 components. Its quality is determined by the cleaning method, the region of extraction, and the age of the raw material. The older the substance, the more antibacterial and anticoagulant components it contains. Of the cleaning methods, preference is given to those in which the raw material is not exposed to high temperatures, so as not to lose its beneficial qualities.

The biochemical composition of mumiyo is striking in its diversity. Different types of mumiyo may contain slightly different components, but in general the composition is similar. The use of mumiyo has a multifaceted effect on the human body, since its composition is:

• amino acids - glutamic and aspartic acids, glycine, histidine, phenylalanine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan, isoleucine, lysine, arginine, valine;
• fatty acids - oleic, petroselinic, linoleic, linolenic;
• organic acids - benzoic, adipic, succinic, citric, oxalic, lichen, tartaric;
• phospholipids;
• resins and resin-like substances;
• essential oils,
• steroids, alkaloids, terpenoids, carotenoids, flavonoids (vitamin P), chlorophyll,
• enzymes,
• tannins,
• B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12), C, E, provitamin A,
• up to 60 macro- and microelements - primarily potassium, magnesium, calcium, manganese (20-60% of the mineral part of mumiyo), as well as sodium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper, sulfur, silicon, selenium, chromium, silver, cobalt, nickel, aluminum, etc.;
• insoluble salts - potash, calcite, lime, dolomite, quartzite, etc.

What is the effect of such a combination of natural substances inherent in the mummy? The use of mumiyo in folk medicine is so widespread that it can produce the following effects on the body:

• immunomodulatory - increasing the body’s resistance to the negative influences of the external and internal environment, incl. exposure to toxins, carcinogens, pathogenic microflora;
• antibacterial,
• antiviral,
• fungicidal,
• detoxification,

As part of folk remedies, mumiyo can be used both internally and externally. Shilajit can be used by children and pregnant women, however, after thorough consultation with a specialized doctor on the disease that has arisen.

The use of mumiyo is recommended for persons diagnosed with:

• diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system;
• dermatological diseases and skin damage;
• diseases of the teeth and oral cavity;
• diseases of the digestive tract, liver, gall bladder, pancreas;
• diseases of the nervous system;
• diseases of the heart and circulatory system;
• respiratory tract diseases;
• ENT diseases;
• diseases of the genitourinary system;
• diseases of the visual apparatus;
• metabolic disorders;
• disturbances of hormonal levels and immune status;

Shilajit can be used for difficult-to-treat diagnoses such as infertility and oncology. However, it is necessary to understand that this is just a healing mineral substance that supplies the body with the components it contains, and not a magic pill. Therefore, in case of such serious diseases, rationally assess the potential benefits of mumiyo and consult a doctor about treatment strategies.
