Today we will talk with you about a mysterious drug that was only recently recognized as traditional medicine and, after a long study, was not only sold in pharmacies, but also used in cosmetology. We will tell you about mumiyo, talk about its beneficial properties, the use and treatment of many diseases with drugs, the basis for which it serves. You will learn how to improve the appearance with this substance, as well as how to cure a large number of diseases.

What is mumiyo

To begin with, it is worth finding out what mumiyo is and where it can be found, after which we will move on to considering how it is useful.

Mumiyo is a resinous substance, which includes organic and mineral compounds. The substance is colored black or brown colors with various shades.
Shilajit is a natural substance that forms in the mountains. It is still unknown under the influence of what forces it arises, and what is the raw material on the basis of which the product is formed. In the end, a kind of resin is obtained, which has a strange taste and aroma, and looks like pieces of coal (we are talking about unprocessed mumiyo).

Did you know? One theory of origin suggests that mumiyo is the waste of bats. Cave-dwelling bats feed on insects that eat healing herbs from the meadows. Oils and various trace elements are partially concentrated in faeces and exposed to external factors for years, as well as contact with soil and various rocks. The result is a special resin-like product.

There are three varieties of this product. They were singled out not only because of the geography of the places of extraction, but also because of the composition, which varies greatly.
Coprolite mummy. It is fossilized organic remains mixed with pieces of rock, as well as soil formations.

Mummion-bearing breccias. It is more of a raw material than a finished product. These are rocks (often limestone), which are connected by a mummy-bearing mass. That is, to obtain a suitable product, you need to process a large amount of rock.

Evaporite mummy. The product is formed in the form of streaks, icicles, films on the walls of caves. This option of raw materials cannot be processed, since the profitability is quite low.

What is good for the body

women

If we consider the benefits specifically for the female body, then it is worth highlighting the positive effect on the body as a whole, which consists in slowing down aging.
It is no secret that many women have problems with nails, hair, and skin, which arise both due to malnutrition and external factors, and due to the use of various cosmetics. So, mumiyo improves the condition of keratin surfaces and skin, and also improves their recovery.

The most important thing for a woman is the ability to give birth to children, so mumiyo is indispensable if infertility has been diagnosed. This product also improves immune protection, normalizes the menstrual cycle, and has a positive effect on the condition of the bones.

men

Men over 45 often suffer from erection problems, so shilajit is important product, which increases the production of testosterone (a hormone responsible for sexual activity, sperm production, and also affects muscle mass). Also, this product helps to calm the nervous system, improve the quality of sex and increase fertility (the ability to continue the race).

It is worth noting that even young men it is useful to take mumijo, because, due to the increase in testosterone production, development improves. muscular system, as well as prevention of premature loss of interest in the opposite sex.

Important! The product is often counterfeited. For replacement, a mixture of various oils is used, as well as propolis, clay and rodent excrement. A fake version does not bring any benefit to the body.

Children

It should be said right away that there is no separation by gender. Children are considered to be people who have not reached puberty - therefore, mumiyo will not affect the production of certain hormones, so you should not worry about any side effects, as well as hormonal imbalances.

Depending on age, shilajit can be used to solve various problems.

For young children, the product is useful for the reason that it improves immunity - accordingly, your baby will get sick less often. This is very important, because young children do not tolerate medicines that cause side effects and allergic reactions.

The product helps children suffering from any diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, so the use of mumiyo is mandatory for those children who often eat harmful or not entirely healthy food.

Older children often experience nervous breakdowns, as their central nervous system does not keep up with the development of the body, which is why it cannot cope with stress. Shilajit helps to calm the child without any side effects (lethargy, decreased concentration, etc.).

Separately, it should be said that the "miracle resin" helps to solve problems with the gums (periodontal disease), without causing a negative reaction from the gastrointestinal tract.

Important! How younger child- the less he needs to give "resin". Accurate dosage determined by the doctor.

Cosmetic use: recipes

Most people who drink mumiyo for various ailments do not even realize that this "resin" is used in cosmetics, and it is not added to improve the attractiveness of products. Shilajit has a visible positive effect on the skin and hair, so below we will tell you how to use it.

For face

Let's start with what effect the mountain product has on the skin:

• It tightens the skin, due to which wrinkles are smoothed out. It also increases the production of collagen, which is responsible for the tone of the skin.
• The skin is renewed faster, which helps to get rid of various damage and spots. Visually, this is manifested in a noticeable rejuvenation, as well as in improving the structure.
• Mumiyo has an antibacterial effect, which is why the substance perfectly copes with acne, as well as with various skin diseases.
• Regulates the sweat glands, which has a positive effect on dry and oily skin.

Before making a face mask, you need to purchase the right (real) product. Most often, mountain resin is sold in the form of tablets, but for us it is ideal option Shilajit is in liquid form, so buy tablets only if there is no other alternative.

The liquid version is more suitable for us for the reason that it can immediately be used to create a mask, but the tablets will have to be crushed to a state of dust so that the substance dissolves well.

Important! Real mumiyo should dissolve in warm water without residue. If, after dilution, a precipitate falls to the bottom of the container- means, before you a fake.

Now for the reception. You can not apply one mask and suddenly feel the improvement. The course consists of 10 procedures, each of which is carried out every 10 days. That is, you will see a noticeable improvement only after 3 months.

Mountain resin, lemon juice and egg white. We knead 2 tablets of mumiyo to a powdery state, after which we add the protein of one egg and 1 tbsp. l. lemon juice(freshly squeezed). Mix thoroughly and then apply all over the face. This mask will help remove any irritation.

Mountain resin with milk and egg white. We knead 2 tablets, after which we add the protein of 1 egg, as well as 1 tbsp. l. warm milk. Mix and apply on face. The mask is used for oily skin.

Classic variant. It is used for local treatment of inflammation (acne, wounds, bruises). Mix two crushed tablets with warm water, then apply to the affected skin.

Important! Most tablets are available in 200 mg packs - accordingly, if you use the liquid version, you should take 0.4 g to prepare the mask.

For hair

The positive effect of a mountain product on hair:

1. Accelerates blood circulation in the scalp, thereby improving the nutrition of hair follicles. Hair falls out less, and their appearance improves.
2. Hair starts to grow a little faster.
3. Hair becomes thicker, as the substances that make up the resin awaken dormant follicles.
4. Prevents and relieves dandruff, and also helps to cope with other diseases of the scalp.
5. Normalizes the work of the sebaceous glands, as a result of which the hair receives the right amount of secretion. Thus, they become oily more slowly and do not dry out.
6. Prevents hair splitting and premature hair loss.
7. Accelerates the regeneration of the scalp.
8. Protects hair from frost, wind and UV.

Let's move on to how to use mumiyo for hair.

Mountain resin can be added to shampoos, as well as create masks based on it at home. Oral intake of mumiyo tablets is not superfluous, which will help speed up the process of healing and rejuvenating hair.

If you do not want to make a mask, you can grind 25-50 200 mg resin tablets into a powder, then add to your shampoo. The product should be used as before, but it is better to keep the shampoo on the hair a little longer so that the mountain resin has time to have a beneficial effect. As for the mask, it’s worth saying right away that it is applied only once a week, and the course is 2-2.5 months.

To prepare the mask, you need to take 5 tablets of mumiyo and knead to a powder, then pour 50 ml of warm water. Next, you need to mix thoroughly so that the resin dissolves, then pour the composition into a spray bottle. Then apply the product along the entire length of the hair. After that, massage the scalp and cover the hair with a plastic cap. Wash off the mask one hour after application.

Important! The mask fits only on clean hair.

From stretch marks

Now we will discuss how to apply mumiyo from stretch marks.

It’s worth clarifying right away that a mumiyo-based cream is used to combat stretch marks, which you must make yourself. The purchased option is not useful, and even vice versa, it can cause allergic reactions. A real cream is stored for a very short time - accordingly, its price will be exorbitant, therefore it is easier and cheaper to prepare it at home.

As in the case of facial skin, mountain resin tightens the cover, thereby increasing the tensile strength. The skin is smoothed and becomes elastic, and stretch marks completely disappear.
Consider the preparation of the cream. Making a useful cream is very simple: just buy mountain resin in tablets or in liquid form. Next, you need to measure 4 g (20 standard tablets), then dissolve the product in 10 ml of warm boiled water. The resin must be completely dissolved so that you can proceed to the next step. As a basis, we take a regular baby cream, as it is best perceived by our skin and does not cause irritation. We mix the contents of one tube with an aqueous solution of mumiyo and place it in an accessible container (do not try to “shove” the cream with mumiyo back into the tube, it is better to take a cream jar that has a wide neck).

Important! If the smell of mumiyo irritates you, add a little essential oil to the cream.

Let's move on to the application rules. First, you definitely need to take a shower before using the cream. Secondly, the cream does not need to be “aged”, it is suitable immediately after mixing. Thirdly, the cream does not need to be washed off for 3 hours.
We apply the product only on those places where there are stretch marks. We do everything slowly and smoothly, do not rub until the skin reddens. One procedure per day is enough.

The course is considered complete when the stretch marks have completely disappeared.

Medicinal use: recipes

We turn to how to take mumiyo inside for various diseases and deviations from the norm. Consider simple recipes that do not require large expenditures Money or time.

To strengthen immunity

Above, we talked about the fact that the mountain product helps to strengthen children's immunity However, the immune system suffers not only in small children, but also in adults. Therefore, below we will consider several recipes that will help prevent deterioration. immune protection and help the body recover from a serious illness.

Prevention. To prevent deterioration of the immune system, one 200 mg tablet of resin should be drunk daily on an empty stomach. After taking it, you should refrain from eating for one hour. It is better to dissolve the tablet in warm boiled water, but you can take it without dissolving.
The course is 1.5 weeks, after which it is necessary to take a break for 5 days. Then you can resume taking if you are sure that your body needs additional protection. The re-admission scheme is slightly different. Now, in addition to the morning reception, there is also an evening one. In the evening we take 1 tablet along with a tablespoon of honey (any honey is fine). Repeated reception lasts 10 days, followed by a five-day break.

With a slight decrease in immunity. This refers to the deterioration of protection caused by the negative influence of external factors, lack of vitamins, as well as the action of bacteria or viruses.

We take 25 tablets of 200 mg, knead them to a powdery state, and then mix with 500 ml of honey. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the resin.

Before meals, three times a day, you need to eat 1 tbsp. l. the resulting mixture. The course of treatment is a month.

Important! Children should be given half or a quarter of a tablespoon so as not to cause an allergic reaction. Keep the mixture in the refrigerator.

At strong decline immunity, as well as during rehabilitation after serious illnesses. We need honey, pomegranate juice, mumiyo tablets, homemade wine. We take 1 tbsp. l. honey and pomegranate juice(it is better to take a concentrated version), add a mumiyo tablet crushed into powder, after which we dilute the mixture with 150 ml of warm boiled water. Next, pour 100 ml of warm wine into the resulting mixture, stir and drink. A glass should be drunk per day, dividing it into two doses (morning and evening). For obvious reasons, use this remedy for the treatment of children is not recommended.

For fractures

Mumiyo not only accelerates the regeneration of bone tissue, but also supplies the body with the necessary and, which contributes to rapid recovery.

It should be clarified right away that the mountain product helps to quickly restore not only the bone, but also damaged skin, as well as muscle tissue, if the fracture is open and not closed, so the use of mumiyo is not limited to small cracks and fractures of the bone.

Treatment involves oral administration only. There will be no benefit from applying the remedy directly to the damaged area, since the mountain resin must be digested to give the body phosphorus and calcium. At the same time, you are unlikely to be able to spread a mumiyo-based cream after you have been given a cast or a fixing bandage.
For treatment, you need to purchase 200 mg tablets in a pharmacy. Before use, you need to knead them to a powdery state, then mix with warm water. This state of aggregation improves and speeds up the absorption by the body. Honey or olive oil can be added to the aqueous solution to enhance the effect.

As for the dosage, it is enough to drink 1-2 tablets 1-2 times a day. Resin should only be taken on an empty stomach. The more severe the damage to the bone, the more more dose. If the damage is minimal, then it is enough to drink 1 tablet 1 time per day. The course of treatment, on average, is 4 weeks. After the end, you should take a break for 2 weeks, and then resume taking it. You need to repeat the course 2-3 times so that the bone tissue is completely restored.

With hemorrhoids

To treat this unpleasant ailment, you can use an aqueous solution that is intended for oral administration, an ointment that is applied externally, as well as rectal suppositories that help to cope with nodes in the rectum.

In the morning and evening, before eating, one tablet (200 mg) of the resin should be dissolved in warm boiled water. The course of treatment is 25 days, after which a 10-day break should be taken.
Ointment. We make powder from several resin tablets, after which we mix it 1 to 1 with peach oil (purchased at a pharmacy). Next, add 3 parts of honey to the mixture (honey should be 3 times more than mountain resin powder). Mix thoroughly.

The ointment should be stored in the refrigerator. Apply the product only on clean skin, no rinsing required. The course of treatment continues until the symptoms disappear or the condition improves.

Candles. We take 1 part of powdered mumiyo and 3 parts of honey. Stir, then add flour and starch. You need to add flour and starch little by little to achieve a pasty state. At the end, a candle should be formed from the resulting composition and inserted into the anus.

For headaches

For the treatment of common headaches caused by overwork, temperature, alcohol intake or an unknown factor, a standard dose of 200 mg of resin is used. The product should be taken daily at bedtime with plenty of water. The course of treatment is 10 days.
For severe headaches (migraine) next composition: 200 mg of powder per glass of warm milk with the addition of 1 tbsp. l. honey. You can take less milk, but the amount of mumiyo and honey should be unchanged. You need to use a similar solution in the morning and evening on an empty stomach. The course of treatment is 25 days.

If you need to quickly suppress a headache, take 5 tablets of 200 mg, crush them and add 2 tsp to the powder. boiled water. The resulting solution should be applied to the skin of the forehead and temples. After 10-15 minutes, the pain should go away. In no case do not take this composition inside, as this is too large a dose.

With otitis media

To create medicine, you need to take 2 tablets of mountain resin, knead to a powder, then mix with 8 ml of rose oil. In order for the mumiyo to dissolve well, the oil should be slightly warmed up, while not exceeding the mark of 60 ° C. Next - cool the composition, and then use it for instillation directly into the ear canal. We instill a few drops in the morning and evening until the otitis media passes.

Important! Do not use this tool when the integrity is broken eardrum. If the membrane is ruptured, it is forbidden to bury anything in the ear canal.

If the inflamed ear hurts a lot, you can use another option. We dissolve 1 tablet of resin in 100 ml of warm water, after which we twist the flagella from cotton wool, moisten it in the resulting composition and place it in the ear. This can reduce inflammation and reduce pain.

How to take mumiyo for weight loss

When taken regularly, mumiyo normalizes metabolism, which has a positive effect on body weight. Of course, in order to thoroughly lose weight, you need to additionally move. Mountain resin does not burn fat, but only has a beneficial effect on metabolic processes in your body. That is, if obesity is caused by any disorders, you will lose weight, but if you have gained weight due to overeating, then the pills are powerless.

To lose weight, you need to take 2-4 tablets in the morning and evening before meals. The course of treatment is no more than 20 days, after which you need to refrain from taking it for a month.

You can also apply a resin-based product topically where you have cellulite. Take 1 tablet and dissolve it in 1 tbsp. l. warm boiled water. Next, add the solution in a small amount baby cream. The resulting composition must be distributed over the place where you have fat deposits.
The tool needs to be used up at one time, so do not use a lot of cream. To achieve the expected effect, the composition must be applied to the skin once a day, repeating the procedure until the result is noticeable.

Did you know? Average age mountain resin, which is mined in Altai, is 130-900 years old. This product is renewable, but it takes at least 20 years to form one small piece of shilajit.

Let's start with the fact that mumiyo is a drug, all the more poorly studied, so it is forbidden to use it in large quantities.

In Europe, the first mumiyo was described in his writings by Aristotle (4th century BC), noting it therapeutic effect and describing what diseases it can help. Millennia have passed, and mumiyo continues to be used, which means that this natural medicine really works and has not lost its relevance! And if so, then we simply have to tell readers everything about this unique substance. From the book you will learn what types of mumiyo are, its composition and origin; everything about the benefits of the substances that make up the mumiyo; what drugs are produced on its basis. We will talk about the therapeutic and cosmetic effects of mumiyo and teach you how to use it correctly for specific diseases.

What is mummy: origin, composition, types

As already mentioned, the mummy has been known since ancient times. Its current name comes from Greek word meaning "keep warm". The Iranian (Persian) name sounds like "mum" - "protecting the body." The Arab physician ibn Betar in the 7th century wrote about the "mummy substance", which comes "from the country of Apollonia." It descends with water streams from the "glowing mountains", hardens on the shore and acquires the smell of tar.

By the way, it was the Europeans who began to call Egyptian mummies mummies. The ancient Egyptians themselves called them "sahu". And the word "mummy" appeared around 1000 AD. e. in European writings. And this was due to the fact that when in the VII century. n. e. the Arabs conquered Egypt and saw the embalmed bodies, they "recognized" in those substances with which they were processed, the product known to them. At the same time, they did not check it for authenticity, it just looked like a “mum”.

And it began to be considered that the Egyptians used the mummy for embalming. At the same time, no one wondered where the Egyptians could take in such quantities a product mined in very limited quantities (one kilogram per year in one place) in the Asian mountains.

This misconception led to the fact that Egyptian mummies became highly valued in Europe for medicinal purposes. In Egypt, this black mass was called "Illyrian resin." Rumors about it spread throughout Europe, along with a story about miraculous properties, so selling it became unusually profitable. This led to the fact that the robbers in Egypt began to dig up the graves and pull out the mummies, from the skulls and bones of which the black plaque was scraped off and sold for huge money. When demand increased even more, the corpses of executed criminals and simply dead people began to be used for the production of magic resin, sometimes even "mummy" was made from animal corpses. Gangs of robbers dug up graves, dragged out the buried, dismembered them and boiled them in cauldrons.

In 1564, the French physician Guy de Fontaine from Navarre wrote that he personally found piles of slave bodies in the warehouse of one of the merchants in Alexandria, which were intended for processing into mummy. There, one of the merchants offered him 40 varieties of mummy. The corpses were treated with bitumen and dried in the sun to make the bodies look like Egyptian mummies. Moreover, in Europe it was known, because it was written about even in works of art. And not just anyone, but Shakespeare and James Shelley. Othello's handkerchief, which he gave to Desdemona, was soaked with "moisture from the hearts of mummies", and Shelley wrote "Make a mummy out of my body and sell me to the apothecary".

Such is the story of the "Egyptian mummy". As for its true history, it has been known in Asian countries since ancient times. It had different names depending on the country and language, on its properties and appearance. The Arabs called it “hafiz-al-alzhssod” (“keep warm”) or “arakul jibol” (“mountain sweat”). In Tibet and Mongolia - "brag-shun" ("rock juice"), in Siberia and Altai - "baragshin, barakhshin, brakshun" ("mountain oil", "stone oil").

In India, it is known as "shalajit" ("victorious stone"), and in Burma under the name "chas-tum" ("blood from the mountain").

In Central Asia, it was called "asil" or "mumiyo asil" ("the best", "real"). In Kyrgyzstan - "ular-tash".

The types of mummy and its medicinal properties were described by famous scientists of antiquity: Aristotle, Ar-Razi (Razes), Abu Ali ibn-Sina (Avicenna), al-Biruni and others. They recognized that it helps with a variety of diseases: fractures, dislocations, polio, migraines, epilepsy, paralysis. facial nerve, poisoning, ulcers gastrointestinal tract, inflammatory diseases of the bladder, tuberculosis and many other diseases.

Mummy was written about in a variety of writings, from Tibet to Greece, more than 70 references to it are known, and everywhere it was recognized as very effective. medicinal substance. At the same time, it is still not known exactly what it is. There are the most different points perspective on this issue.

For example, in the Tibetan treatise "Yangal-Chzhadbo" it is reported: "From the rocks heated by the hot rays of the summer heat, the juices of six types of precious metals (gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, lead), like a liquid extract, seep and expire, which is called a brag-shun, that is, a rocky sill. That is, in Tibet, the mummy was considered a derivative of minerals. Brag-shun was described as a heavy and solid substance, which has a characteristic color and smell, and dissolves without sediment. “If there is an admixture of earth, stones, animal feces in the brag-shun, this species is considered the worst, but if it is obtained in holy places, it is still suitable.” Brag-shun was divided into five types according to appearance, taste and medicinal properties: gold, silver, copper, ferruginous, tin.

Avicenna wrote: “Mumiyo is mountain wax. It has a thinning and resolving properties and action.

Nowadays, the most general definition says that mumijo is a natural mixture of organic and inorganic substances that are highly soluble in water, which is formed in rock cracks, voids, niches in the form of films, crusts, growths of black, dark brown and brown tar-like masses. Shilajit from different countries and from different deposits has a similar qualitative composition, but differs in the ratio separate parts. At the same time, various instrumental techniques are now used for research, which made it possible to find out the composition of various types of shilajit extracted from different deposits.

For example, the isotopic composition of the Altai shilajit turned out to be close to the composition of the remains of mountain vegetation, characteristic of the belt from 1500 to 3000 m above sea level, the age of the mumiyo deposits on the walls of the Altai caves is from hundreds to a thousand years. Shilajit does not form on the plains. Most of all, mummy is found in the mountains: in caves, grottoes, where there are a lot of limestone deposits and where atmospheric and melt waters do not penetrate.

The composition of the mummy is very complex. Scientists are constantly studying it, but they have not come to a single conclusion. Some articles say that all types of shilajit are of organic origin, others say that not all. This may depend on the origin of the particular sample under study.

For example, mummy from the mountains of Central Asia contains a large amount organic matter, as well as silicon dioxide, phosphoric anhydride, aluminum oxide, iron, titanium, calcium, lead, magnesium, barium, manganese, potassium, sodium and in small quantities strontium oxide.

And according to the results comprehensive research at the Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, scientists concluded that this mountain balm is a natural mineral with a stable organic part of the molecule.

The third study says that the mummy contains over 80 components - substances vital for the body, including antibiotics. plant origin and anticoagulants, about 30 chemical elements(calcium, potassium, silicon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, vanadium, iron, phosphorus, barium, sulfur, molybdenum, beryllium, manganese, titanium, silver, copper, lead, zinc, bismuth, nickel, cobalt, tin, strontium, chromium , helium).

Some types of mumijo also contained carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, amino acids (histidine, threonine, methionine, tryptophan, lysine, valine, etc.), more than 10 different metal oxides, essential oils, fatty acids, vitamins, hemic bases, auxins, inhibitors , chlorophyll, enzymes, hormones and other substances.

Also, in the mummy samples, B vitamins, proteins, lipids, steroids, amino acids, alkaloids, coumarins, essential oils, bee venom, macro- and microelements were found.

And there are a lot of such studies with various compositions of mummy. That is why there is no single classification of mummy. This substance is divided into various groups, and sometimes they distinguish "actual mummy" and "mummy-like substances."

Shilajit is considered an oil of mineral origin, heavily polluted modern formations. Or "an accumulation of excrement of small rodents (two species of pikas), cemented with a resinous substance." The second definition is based on the fact that, according to the results of analyzes in some studies, the excrement of rodents living in the mountains does not differ in chemical composition from mumiyo (arhar-tasha). Then mountain silver voles began to be fed with a diverse set of medicinal, weeds and cultivated plants and their secretions were studied. According to the results, scientists came to the conclusion that, probably, poisonous herbs and medicinal plants eaten by animals contribute to the formation of mummy (arhar-tash).

As a result, now the mummy is divided into different types according to the method of formation and composition.

Bituminous mummy is isolated - this is a liquid or wax-like mass of dark color that accumulates as a result of anaerobic (without oxygen) decomposition of dead plants. It differs from oil in that it does not contain volatile hydrocarbons, since it is formed close to the soil surface and quickly loses volatile components.

The mineral mummy was found high in the mountains, in the voids of rocks, where neither animals nor plants could get.

Juniper is a resinous brown-black mass with a resinous odor that is released from the trunk of the roots of juniper, pine, spruce, is carried by water in the soil, mixes with soil elements and forms streaks in rock crevices.

Lichen - a dense or solid mass as a product of the vital activity of plants, mainly lichens.

Cadaverous - a solid or waxy mass of black color, formed during mummification or slow decomposition of the corpses of animals and insects.

Excrement (coprolite) - petrified excrement of small animals, mainly rodents and bats.

Shilajit can also be obtained artificially (as was done in the Middle Ages) - when mummifying the corpses of animals, insects, people, or in laboratory conditions from medicinal plants, litter of rodents, in appearance resembling the primary mummy.

"Mumiyo-asil" is a solid mass of dark brown or black color, smooth and shiny. It contains 26 microelements - less than in other types of mumijo, but it contains a lot of organic substances, and, which is a hallmark of "mumiyo-asil", it contains bee venom.

Indian Shilajit, known as Shilajit, contains almost all the elements of the periodic table, humic and fulvic acids, as well as amino acids that play a crucial role for the human body.

Thus, mummy is formed from various substances: microelements, microorganisms, plants, animals and their metabolic products. And the mountains are needed because of their microclimate. It is the highlands, where the oxygen content is reduced, sharp drops temperature, increased ultraviolet radiation. A hot, dry area also contributes to the formation of mummy, where there are few microorganisms and the remains do not decompose, but mummify. In some places that are not accessible to moisture, they harden, while in others they are dissolved by soil water, dispersing or forming streaks in voids.

Shilajit deposits are found in different countries and regions in mountainous areas: in India, Mongolia, Iran, Arabia, Indonesia, Australia, Burma, South America, China, Nepal, Afghanistan, countries of northeast Africa.

On the territory of the Russian Federation, deposits were discovered in the Altai-Sayan mountainous country (Gorny Altai, Tyva), South Yakutia, and the North Caucasus. On the territory of the CIS: in Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan, the mountains of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan). There are Pamir and Tien Shan mummy, as well as Caucasian, Altai and Transbaikal. Differences in its properties are manifested in the content of biologically active substances and trace elements.

In the "Register of Medicines of the Russian Federation" in the section of dietary supplements (biologically active additives), only one type of mummy is included.

The shelf life of the preparation "Altai Purified Shilajit" is 5 years.

Types of mummy and preparations based on it

When mummy is found in the mountains, it is a resin-like mass, dark, sometimes almost black in color, heterogeneous in composition. In one place (one deposit), it usually contains from 200 kg to 1.5 tons. Natural mummy can contain seeds, sand, parts of plants, small fragments of rocks, wool, insect shells, bones, pieces of wood, mummified animal waste products. Of course, such a mummy cannot be used, it must first be cleaned.

The consistency of the mummy depends on the amount of moisture in it and on the air temperature. With an increase and decrease in air temperature, the mummy softens, becomes viscous, smearing. He has a bitter taste.

Technical processing includes water extraction, centrifugation, filtration or evaporation, as a result of which unnecessary substances are removed and the actual purified shilajit, suitable for use, remains.

The peeled mummy looks like a thick homogeneous plastic mass, easily kneaded by hands, dark brown or black in color with a shiny smooth surface. It has a bitter taste and a specific spicy smell. It is completely soluble in water and poorly soluble in alcohol, ether and other organic solvents. During storage, it loses moisture and becomes harder.

The “older” mummy is considered more useful, since it has a higher content natural antibiotics and anticoagulants and, accordingly, the effectiveness of the therapeutic effect is higher.

Moreover, if it is overheated during cleaning (for example, bring the temperature of the water bath to +60 ° C), then its organic component can decompose and useful action drug will be minimal.

The processing temperature should not exceed +39 °C.

In the original mummy, the dose of the useful substance is much less, and after cleaning, its volume decreases significantly, from 2 to 15 times.

During purification, the final product contains more organic parts: carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, present in it in the form of various acids, proteins and resins. Inorganic parts - minerals of calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, aluminum, rubidium, cesium, barium, tin, chromium, antimony and many others - are partially removed.

Four main types are distinguished after cleaning: golden mummy" - red, "silver mummy" - white, "copper mummy" - of blue color, "dark mummy" - brown-black.

The most common are "copper" and "dark" mummy. The highest quality mummy is black, shiny, soft.

To determine the quality of the mummy, it is crushed by hand. If the mummy is good, it softens, and the bad one remains hard.

Indian mummy - shilajit is cleaned by soaking in water, then boiled in decoctions of various herbs, including triphala decoction (collection of herbs known for more than 2000 years), in cow urine, dried and thickened under the sun. The whole process takes three to four days. Processed and mixed with triphala, shilajit is a gray, bitter powder. In addition to pure mummy, it also includes medicinal herbs.

Shilajit extract is made in different ways. In Soviet times, the factory method was as follows: crushed mummy was poured with a tenfold volume of warm water (+40-50 ° C), and then 6 hours after repeated decanting and settling, the solution was passed through a vacuum apparatus at a temperature of + 50-55 ° C, then The extract was dried to a residual moisture of no more than 5%. The result was a hygroscopic powder with a smell and a burning taste, soluble in cold and hot water. Sterilization took place in an autoclave at +120°C.

Now they mostly do it. The collected raw material is crushed and poured with warm boiled water. The solution is infused for up to five days. Then, after thorough filtration, water is removed from the solution, and the evaporation temperature is very important for the subsequent biological activity of the mummy. If microelement compounds are preserved at high temperatures, then amino acid compounds, which form the basis of the biological activity of mummy, begin to decompose already at +45-50 °C. Therefore, it is best if vacuum drying is used in special laboratories, when water evaporates intensively at low temperatures. If there is no vacuum technology, then evaporation in a water bath can be used, but at the same time control the temperature of the solution at the bottom of the container. The final drying of the extract can be carried out by natural evaporation of the remaining water.

The result is a mummy extract: a solid mass with a shiny surface. Its color can be different: from yellow-brown to black, taste shades will also be different depending on the composition, as well as the smell. This is how it is usually stored.

It is believed that the mummy does not have an expiration date, since it cannot go bad. Even the most cautious estimates give it 40-50 years of storage without loss of medicinal properties. True, this does not apply to mummy-based tablets, since various additional substances are introduced into them.

It is also believed that the mummy does not have toxic, allergic and carcinogenic manifestations. This has been proven in many animal experiments and in studies conducted in various clinics. However, in case of oncology, mummy is recommended to be used with caution.

At long-term storage Shilajit extract can be placed in a moisture-proof container and stored in a dark, cool place. At room temperature, the mummy hardens due to the evaporation of the moisture contained in it, but does not lose its medicinal properties. Aqueous solutions of the mummy extract should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than fifteen days.

The optimal dose for those whose weight is less than 70 kg is 0.2 g (200 milligrams), up to 80 kg - 0.25 g (250 mg), up to 90 kg - 0.3 g (300 mg), over 90 kg - 0.5 g (500 mg). If you do not exceed these doses, the medicine is harmless and has no contraindications.

Mummy powder. Shilajit must be dried at a temperature of +20-30 ° C in the open air or in a well-ventilated area until it stops sticking at a break. Place the dried pieces in a mortar or coffee grinder, grind them to a coarse powder, then grind them with a pestle to a fine powder. Sift through a layer of cheesecloth and pack in a dry container with a ground stopper. Store in a moisture-proof container in a cool, dry place.

Aqueous extract based on mummy. It can be done in three different ways.

1) Take 5 g of well-dried mummy, grind in a mortar. Place the powder in a deep bowl and pour 100 ml of pre-purified or boiled warm water. Stand for 5 minutes and start stirring with a pestle, achieving a slurry. By the way, this will allow you to determine the quality of the raw materials: there should not be any turbidity in the solution, the mummy should dissolve completely. Ready solution strain through cheesecloth folded in two layers and add water to 500 ml.

2) Also combine 500 ml of distilled water with 5 g of mummy powder and mix until a homogeneous mass is formed. Filter the finished mixture, then sterilize for 30 minutes. This solution is used as the basis for eye drops.

3) Boil distilled water for 15 minutes to achieve complete sterility, cool to +70 °C. Then add 5 g of mummy powder to it and leave for a day. After a day, strain the solution and add water to the volume required by the recipe. An aqueous solution of mummy is stored for a day, then it is no longer suitable for use. This aqueous extract is used for oral administration.

Mumiyo solution for external use. Dissolve 1-2 g of mumijo in 20 ml (1 tablespoon) of warm boiled water. It turns out a 5 or 10% aqueous solution of mummy, which is lubricated sore spot or make a compress.

Alcohol tincture mummy. Take 10 g of mummy and 70 ml of a 20% alcohol solution. Grind the mummy into powder, pour into a glass bottle. Better dark. Pour alcohol, cork the bottle and put in a dark and cool place for a week, and shake it 2 times a day. After a week, pour the mixture into another bowl, leaving a sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Add 30 ml of alcohol to this precipitate and leave for 4 days. Drain the finished infusion again, combine with those 70 ml that is already there, and put it in a cool place for a day. Then strain the liquid, add alcohol so that there is a total of 100 ml of tincture, and can be used for its intended purpose.

Water-alcohol tincture prepared in the same way as alcohol, only 100 ml of water is added to the finished alcohol.

Ointment from mummy There are different types and using different components.

1) 10% ointment. Take 5 g of mummy powder, moisten with a few drops of distilled water and mix thoroughly. When the mass acquires the consistency of gruel, gradually, without ceasing to interfere, gradually introduce softened lard into it (45 g in total). All this must be ground to a homogeneous mass. The ointment is considered to be prepared correctly if, when rubbed between the fingers, grains are not felt in it.

2) 4% or 7.5% ointment. Take mummy - 4 or 7.5 g, water - 25 or 27 g, anhydrous lanolin - 35 g, medical vaseline - up to 100 g. First you need to sterilize lanolin and vaseline so that microorganisms do not begin to multiply in them. To do this, they are heated to a temperature of + 180-200 ° C and heated for 20 minutes. So that they do not melt and leak, they must be hermetically sealed, and it is better to heat them on an alcohol lamp. Dishes and tools should also be boiled in water for 15 minutes. For sterilization, mummy is enough to heat in a water bath at a temperature of + 25-37 ° C. In a sterile mortar, dissolve the entire volume of the mummy in water, then add the melted, half-cooled alloy of lanolin and vaseline in small portions to the solution and mix all the components until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Store the composition in a place protected from light at a temperature not exceeding +20°C.

Shilajit tiles and pills. First, mix water and glycerin in a ratio of 1:1. The right amount mummy powder (as indicated in the recipe) put in a mortar and add a water-glycerin solution in drops, rubbing with a pestle, until a doughy mass is obtained. Transfer this mass to a smooth surface (wooden, plastic), lubricated with vegetable oil. Gently mix the mass again (preferably with a scalpel or a thin knife), add fish oil or vegetable oil drop by drop and shape into balls or plates. Tiles and balls (pills) on the outside are shiny, black, with the smell of natural mumiyo, harden during open storage. Usually they are prepared as much as needed for one course of treatment.

Candles with a 5% content mummy is prepared in the following way. You need to have mummy powder, boiled or sterile water, cocoa butter. Take 5 g of mummy powder, add a little water to make a gruel, then add a third of cocoa butter and mix thoroughly, gradually adding the rest of the butter. Leave to harden. When the mass has cooled, roll out the rods from it and give them the shape of candles.

Mummy compress used for joint pain, internal and erupted abscesses, mastitis, radiculitis, osteochondrosis, etc. different occasions taken from 2 to 10 g of dry mummy. At the same time, if you apply it to a healthy area of ​​​​the skin, then the drug will remain under the compress, and if it is applied to the patient, it will quickly be absorbed. The specific dose depends on the disease. It should be remembered that the mummy liquefies when heated, so the compress must be applied so that the mummy does not drip from under it.

The compress is better to put at night and remove in the morning. The bandage is carefully pulled over the edges, then the skin is washed with water. The next compress, if necessary, is done after 2-3 days, otherwise you can get skin irritation.

Mummy tablets. For one tablet you need 0.2 g of mummy, 0.15 g of sugar. The excipient filling the rest of the tablet will be potato starch and calcium stearate. Shilajit should be dried and crushed, sifted through a fine sieve to obtain a homogeneous powder. Mix it with powdered sugar and starch powder, then moisten the mixture with 96% alcohol through a spray bottle until a uniformly sticky, but not liquid mass is obtained. After rolling out with a layer of 2 mm, dry at a temperature of + 30-40 ° C until it becomes absolutely dry to the touch. Crumble the mass and pass through a sieve, then dust with calcium stearate powder. After that, tablets can be pressed, calculating the weight so that each contains 0.2 g of mummy.

Store tablets in a place protected from light for no more than a year.

Calcium stearate is needed to thicken the mixture and give it shape. In principle, it is not necessary if you do not want to achieve perfect shape tablets. In addition, you can not crumble the dried mass a second time, but immediately cut it into squares, calculating their number so that each contains 0.2 g of mummy.

The third option: pour the crushed mass into gelatin capsules, if it is possible to find them.

Mumiyo is produced in factory-made tablets, each containing 0.2 g. You should know that mumiyo in tablets cannot be stored for as long as raw mumiyo, since various additional substances that have an expiration date are added to the tablets.

Shilajit can be stored for a very long time if it is in a piece of at least 0.5 kg or in the form of 30% aqueous solution in a volume of at least 1 liter. Solutions with a concentration of less than 30% are best prepared immediately before use, as well as the preparations described above.

The dry matter of the mummy should be stored in a hermetically sealed plastic bag. Taking part of the medicine from the package, the rest must be slightly dried. Once in the air, it will absorb moisture, soften and flow. It is impossible to store the drug in this form, so you will have to restore it to its previous state by drying it at a temperature of up to +40 ° C.

Unfortunately, like any popular medicine, mummy is not immune from fakes.

Fraudsters can sell anything under the guise of a mummy. This is all the more simple because the mummy looks like a dark mass. Such a mass can be cooked from anything, even from any dried herb, as long as it has bitterness. It will be possible to distinguish a fake only by smell, but for this you need to know how a real mummy smells. Another point: fakes often have a pronounced fibrous structure, which a real mummy does not have.

In addition, the mummy itself can act more or less effectively depending on the place of collection and the quality of the product itself, as well as depending on the degree of purification. A batch of genuine shilajit may not be of very high quality, since pharmaceutical factories accept shilajit from miners in small volumes (from a few kilograms), and make biochemical research each party is simply unprofitable.

The second point to remember is the mummy in tablets. As mentioned above, when forming tablets, additional substances are added to them, to which some people may react, and this will reduce the medicinal effectiveness of the mummy itself. Well, tablets have an expiration date, unlike raw mummy, which can be stored for many years.

Third: the mummy itself has healing properties. When it is added to various ointments, creams and other formulations, its substances begin to react with the substances of this composition. Therefore, here you should also pay attention to the expiration date.

Therefore, if there is such an opportunity, it is better to purchase the mummy in its pure form, then it can be stored longer and it will be possible to prepare the necessary preparations from it as needed.

The benefits of the substances that make up the mummy

Shilajit contains: essential and non-essential amino acids ( glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, phenylalanine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan, isoleucine, lysine, arginine, valine, aspartic acid, etc.), monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (oleic, petroselinic, linoleic, linolenic, etc.), phospholipids, organic acids (hippuric, benzoic, adipic, amber, citric, oxalic, lichen, kojic, tartaric, etc.), essential oils, resins, resinous substances, steroids, alkaloids, enzymes, chlorophyll, tannins, coumarins, terpenoids, carotenoids (provitamin A), flavonoids (including rutin - vitamin P), vitamins B1, B2, B 3, B 6, B12, C, E, as well as about 60 macro- and microelements (potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, phosphorus, manganese, iron, zinc, copper, sulfur, silicon, selenium, chromium, silver, cobalt, nickel, aluminum, vanadium, barium, molybdenum, beryllium, titanium, lead, bismuth, tin, strontium, helium, etc.).

In some types of mumiyo, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, more than 10 different metal oxides, essential oils, heme bases, auxins, inhibitors, chlorophyll, enzymes, hormones, proteins, lipids, steroids, alkaloids, coumarins, essential oils, bee venom were also found.

The composition of the mummy depends on the place where it was found, therefore, in different samples of the mummy, from different deposits, its composition will vary.

Glutamic acid in the human body is present in the composition of proteins, a number of low molecular weight substances and in free form, it plays an important role in nitrogen metabolism.

It is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses. The problem is that salts of glutamic acid (monosodium glutamate is best known) are actively used in semi-finished products as a flavor enhancer, as a result, a person receives an excess amount of glutamic acid, which leads to overexcitation of neurons. Also, excessive consumption of salts of glutamic acid leads to the fact that food without them seems tasteless to a person.

Glycine very necessary for the restoration of the nervous system and normalization mental activity. He takes off nervous tension after long physical activity, improves general well-being and mood, relieves psychological fatigue and increases mental performance. It is involved in the synthesis of antibodies and immunoglobulins, therefore it is important for normal state immunity.

Histidine refers to part essential amino acids. In children, it is not synthesized in the body, in adults it is synthesized, but not in full. It is a precursor to histamine, which causes allergic reactions, but also plays an important role in immune function. Histidine is part of hemoglobin and is involved in the transport of oxygen. It also promotes tissue growth and regeneration in case of damage.

Phenylalanine serves as a starting material for the synthesis of another amino acid - tyrosine, and many are synthesized from it necessary for the body substances: adrenaline, dopamine, norepinephrine. These compounds are neurotransmitters and directly affect mental condition person, on his emotional mood, clarity of consciousness and sharpness of thinking. Phenylalanine is also needed to thyroid produced thyroxine, which is necessary for the assimilation nutrients entering the body. Phenylalanine is also needed for the synthesis of endorphins (“happiness hormones”). In addition to affecting mood, endorphins reduce pain and speed up recovery.

Methionine promotes the absorption of fats, preventing them from accumulating in the liver and on the walls of arteries, so it is very important in the prevention of atherosclerosis. It also has the ability to cleanse the liver of excess fat, preventing its fatty degeneration. It is involved in the synthesis of phospholipids and other substances, activates hormones, vitamins and enzymes from those that can neutralize various toxins. Methionine improves digestion, strengthens muscles, and eases the course of toxicosis during pregnancy. It is needed for the synthesis of nucleic acids, collagen and other proteins involved in building body tissues.

Threonine supports the functioning of the liver, cardiovascular, central nervous and immune systems. It is necessary for the synthesis of glycine and serine, which are responsible for the production of collagen (the basis connective tissue body), elastin (a protein responsible for the elasticity of connective tissues) and muscle tissue. In the heart muscle, threonine is found in significant quantities. It helps to form strong bones and tooth enamel and can speed up wound healing and recovery from injury. Threonine helps the liver break down fats and fatty acids. Without enough threonine in the body, fats can accumulate in the liver and eventually lead to liver failure. Threonine supports the immune system by aiding in the production of antibodies.

tryptophan man is very, very necessary. In the body, it is converted into serotonin (“happiness hormone”). Serotonin gives a feeling of emotional well-being, and it also turns into melatonin, which regulates The biological clock. Tryptophan, among other things, controls appetite. It reduces cravings for food, and in particular, reduces the desire to eat something sweet, starchy foods, or anything else that makes you fat. It gives an understanding that a person is already full and you can stop chewing further. In addition, it inhibits the formation of fatty deposits.

Lysine very important for protein digestion; with its shortage, no matter how many proteins are in the food, they will not be absorbed. It is also needed for the production of collagen, a component of connective tissue. The strength and elasticity of ligaments and tendons depend on it. Lysine promotes the absorption of calcium and its incorporation into bone tissue therefore, it is important at an older age for the prevention of osteoporosis. It normalizes fat metabolism and prevents the development of atherosclerosis. It promotes the production of antibodies, endocrine hormones and enzymes digestive system, ensures the absorption of amino acids. Lysine is important for the efficient functioning of the brain, and its deficiency can impair short-term memory and the ability to concentrate.

Arginine contributes to the maintenance of cholesterol levels, normal blood pressure, stimulates the production of insulin and thus supports normal level blood sugar, improves the functioning of the immune system, and also helps to rid the body of toxins.

Isoleucine a person is necessary for the synthesis of hemoglobin, and it also stabilizes and regulates blood sugar levels and energy supply processes.

Valine increases muscle endurance under heavy loads. Together with leucine and isoleucine, it serves as an energy source for muscle metabolism. It helps with insomnia and nervousness, as it prevents the decrease in the level of serotonin (“happiness hormone”). Valine suppresses appetite, so it is useful in the fight against obesity. Valine increases muscle coordination and reduces the body's sensitivity to pain, cold and heat.

Retinol (Vitamin A) improves metabolism, growth processes, increases the body's resistance to infections, normalizes vision at dusk. Red and orange fruits contain carotene (provitamin A), which is converted into vitamin A in the body. Carotene is better absorbed from foods containing fat.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) normalizes the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates, the function of the sex glands, improves the functioning of the heart muscle. With its insufficiency, the permeability and fragility of capillaries increases.

Thiamine (vitamin B1) normalizes protein, fat, carbohydrate and mineral metabolism, the function of the nervous system, circulatory and digestive organs, increases the body's resistance to infections.

Riboflavin (vitamin B2) participates in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, normalizes the function of the nervous system, liver, improves hematopoiesis.

Nicotinic acid (vitamin PP or B3) regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, cholesterol, iron, the functional state of the central nervous system, lowers blood pressure, increases the secretion of gastric juice, improves the condition of the liver.

Pantothenic acid(vitamin B5) regulates metabolism, fats, hemoglobin synthesis.

Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) normalizes the metabolism of proteins and fats, liver function, hemoglobin synthesis.

Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) regulates hematopoiesis, increases the body's resistance to infections, reduces the deposition of fat in the liver.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) regulates the metabolism of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, the permeability of capillary walls, increases the body's resistance to infections, improves kidney and liver function.

Flavonoids (vitamin P) is a group of substances total number about 150, which are very useful for the human body. One of these substances is rutin, which is sometimes called vitamin P. Vitamin P can partially cover the body's need for vitamin C. Regular use of vitamin P normalizes the condition of capillary walls, increasing their strength and elasticity, lowers blood pressure, slows down the heart rate. Rutin 60 mg daily for 4 weeks may reduce intraocular pressure. Vitamin P is also involved in bile formation, helps regulate daily allowance excretion of urine. One of the flavonoids - catechin, which is part of green tea leaves, is recognized as an effective antioxidant. It protects the cells of the body from the effects of free radicals, thereby slowing down the aging process, increases the body's resistance to negative external factors and restores immunity. With antibacterial properties, catechins also protect a person from colds and infectious diseases.

Sodium is found in the blood plasma and tissues in the extracellular fluid, participates in the formation of hydrochloric acid, in metabolic processes, retains fluid in the body. The need for sodium chloride increases with profuse sweating, hard physical labor, sports, eating plant foods containing an increased amount of potassium.

Potassium is located mainly inside the cells, regulates the work of the heart, adrenal glands, enhances the excretion of fluid and sodium from the body.

Calcium found in bones and teeth. A small amount of calcium is found in the blood. It regulates permeability cell membranes and blood clotting, the balance of the processes of excitation and inhibition in the cerebral cortex. With its deficiency in food, pathological fractures and softening of bones, muscle spasms are possible. The body's need for calcium increases during pregnancy and lactation, bone fractures.

The following excerpt from the book Mumiyo. Natural medicine (Yuri Konstantinov, 2014) provided by our book partner -

Mumiyo is used in traditional medicine from antiquity. ABOUT medicinal properties Mumiyo was known and written by Avicenna (Ibn Sina).
Until now, the origin of the mummy remains a mystery. There are many hypotheses about this. A number of scientists believe that mumiyo, or as sometimes called "mountain wax", is part of the product of a wild honey bee, also called "mumiyo asil" or "mumiyon, mumiya". Other researchers associate the nature of the mummy with various types microorganisms, others consider it as mulberry juice, juniper and even excrement of various animals. In folk medicine of antiquity, mummy was used for a wide variety of traumatic injuries.
In the last century, a special expedition was organized in Uzbekistan with the participation of geologists and physicians to find mummy. The balm of the Central Asian mountains was found in caves at an altitude of 2000-3000 meters above sea level.
The first wide cycle of scientific research was the dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Medical Sciences of the Tashkent surgeon A. Sh. Shakirov. The doctor investigated the mummy, tested its effect on animals and in the clinic for bone fractures. The high efficiency of the drug has been established, which contributes to the successful healing of fractures and improves general state sick. Shakirov's research marked the beginning of the scientific study of mummy in other areas of medicine. Interest in mumiyo, a fragrant, resinous substance mined in the mountains, is growing from year to year. Ancient physicians attributed to it many healing properties.

Extract from the doctoral dissertation of A. Sh. Shakirov (kept in the Lenin Library, Moscow):
"...According to the ancient physicians, the highest quality mummy is black, shiny, soft. It smells like oil, but has a special specific smell. By mummy they mean various natural formations on the walls of grottoes, similar to resin substances ... or they report that the bees seal their honey and tap hole with wax and cover the sealed place with something black, with a sharp smell of herbs, similar to wax ... or mummy is made from herbs ... or it is a product of manure fermentation ... "

Currently, there are several theories of the origin of the mummy: one is oil, the other is biogenic (decomposition of the slurry extract of various animals, decomposition of the resin of juniper, lichens and other plants, decomposition of the wax of wild bees). Expeditions of Soviet specialists found that the mummy of the sinter type is from brown to black in color with a specific pungent odor. The balm seeps out of rock breaks, accumulates on the vaults and walls of caves, and often hangs from the ceiling in dark icicles.
Over 70 sources with reports of mummy were discovered by A. Sh. Shakirov in the literature of the past. Shilajit, as indicated in Eastern manuscripts, gives strength to the whole body and especially the heart. It was also used for diseases of the liver, stomach, tuberculosis, bronchial asthma, paralysis, inflammatory processes, it also helps with poisoning, scorpion stings, bladder ulcers, elephantiasis, stuttering, lethargy of organs, resolves tumors, normalizes the functions of external and internal organs, enhances sexual activity, helps with headaches, migraines, diabetes, has a general strengthening effect on the body. But mainly contributes to the successful healing of bones and wounds. "Only a mummy saves from death," says an ancient oriental proverb.

Mumiyo - what is it, chemical composition

Shilajit - a bitter-tasting solid mass - dark brown or black with a shiny surface. When heated, the mummy softens. The composition of this product includes many organic substances and a variety of trace elements. This is a viscous sticky mass, softens with the warmth of the hands, has a resinous specific smell, dissolves in water with a small sediment, having the color of thickly brewed tea.
When an aqueous solution of mummy is evaporated, a sticky extract is formed that burns without soot and leaves 3.6% ash. In the air it thickens and thickens. When heated, it softens, even liquefies.
The specific gravity is 2.13.
In its composition, the mummy contains about 28 chemical elements, 30 macro- and microelements, as well as 10 different metal oxides, 6 amino acids, a number of vitamins - B, P-617, B, etc., essential oils, bee venom, tar-like substances - each of which can affect the corresponding metabolic processes of the body, enhance regenerative processes in various tissues. As an anti-inflammatory, antitoxic, tonic, and also restoring the reduced function of peripheral nerve trunks or brain analyzer centers, it positively participates in DNA cell biosynthesis, which leads to increased division and an increase in the number of cells.

What heals mumiyo

Mumiye has a therapeutic effect on many diseases, and this mechanism of action of the drug seems to be very complex, it affects the entire life of the body, its various processes, etc. (for example: in any pharmaceutical medicine, only 5-6 elements are combined, chemically selected by artificial means , and here there are 50 components selected by nature). To determine the quality of the mummy, it is crushed: while a good one quickly softens, while a low-quality one remains hard.
Shilajit is a low-toxic substance: ingestion of 30 mg/kg or intravenous and subcutaneous administration of 4% mumiyo solution in the amount of 250 mg/kg of body weight does not cause any toxic manifestations in experimental animals. Mumiyo has a bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect. Under the influence of the intake of mummy, mineral metabolism is enhanced, the healing of bone fractures is accelerated, bone callus is formed 8-17 days earlier than usual.

At the Uzbek Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics, work was carried out to study possible application mummy in medicinal purposes in a person. Observations on a large group of patients with infected bone fractures, osteomyelitis, burns, long-term non-healing ulcers, etc. showed that mumiyo has a high therapeutic effect. Shilajit contributed not only to faster healing of wounds and the formation of calluses, but at the same time, blood normalizes in patients, the general condition improves, and good dream, appetite, pain disappears, the function of the affected limb was quickly restored.
Mumiye is prescribed once a day in the morning on an empty stomach at a dose of 0.15-0.20 g. The course of treatment is 10 days, after which it is recommended to take a break for 5-10 days, then the treatment can be repeated again. The number of courses varies from 3 to 4.

Mumiyo for children

Doses of mummy for children: aged 3 months to 1 year - 0.01-0.02 g, up to 9 years old - 0.05 g, 9-14 years old - 0.1 g per day.
This expensive remedy is especially often used in traditional medicine and clinics in Tajikistan, Tashkent, and the Caucasus.
With regular and correct application mummy success will always be guaranteed. In folk medicine, a mummy the size of a wheat grain (0.15-0.2 g) is prescribed 1-2 times a day, most often at bedtime.

The most valuable medicine mumijo has proved its worth over the course of a number of centuries and its use has been scientifically substantiated by experimenters. clinical application on the sick.
It is applied internally by direct preparation with juices, water, honey, tea, milk, etc. due to its good solubility.
It is also used externally by lubrication, instillation with various juices, alcohol, honey, etc.
