It is known that mumiyo, mumiyo-asil, mumiyo-bragshun, mountain balsam is a natural resin-like product of biological origin, flowing from the crevices and crevices of the mountains.

The types of mumiyo are described: golden mumiyo - red, silver - white, copper - blue, dark - brown-black, etc.

The composition of mumiyo is very variable. Usually mumiyo contains: zoomelaiodine, humic, hippuric, benzoic acids, amino acids, salts, trace elements (from 12 to 28), plant residues.

They differ in location and appearance:

1. Corpse mumiyo - a hard or waxy mass of a dark color. Formed during mummification or slow decomposition of animal and insect corpses. Ancient mumiyo was usually obtained from mummified corpses of people and animals.

2. Lichen mumijo is a thick or hard resinous mass. It is formed as a product of the vital activity of lower plants, mainly Inca lichen.

3. Juniper mumiyo - a resinous brown-black mass with a resinous odor. It is released from the trunk and roots of juniper, pine, spruce, transferred by water into the soil, mixed with soil elements and forms deposits on rock crevices.

4. Bituminous mumiyo - a liquid or wax-like mass of a dark color, formed as a result of anaerobic 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.

b. Excremental mumiyo - fossilized excrement of small animals, mainly rodents and bats (the most common type),

6 Honey-wax mummy is a yellow, brown or black mass, a waste product of wild bees, polymerized as a result of long-term lying.

7. Mineral mumiyo - discovered high in the mountains, in the voids of rocks, where neither animals nor plants could get into, indicates the possibility of the formation of mumiyo from minerals, but with the obligatory participation of microorganisms or protozoa.

Comparing various literary sources, from ancient times to the present day, we came to the conclusion that all assumptions regarding the origin of mumiyo are speculative, often not supported by solid evidence.

Therefore, we propose for general discussion our hypothesis about the formation of mumiyo, which is based on the following provisions.

1. Mumiyo is found mainly in mountains or dry hot areas.

2. All types of mumiyo, regardless of location and mechanism of formation, contain organic carbon.

It follows that:

1. All types of mumiyo are of organic origin.

2. Materials for the formation of mumiyo can be:

a) soil microorganisms,

b) protozoa,

c) animals,

rj animal excretions,

d) plants,

e) microelements.

The variety of initial products for the formation of mumiyo, as well as natural conditions, suggested to us the idea of ​​obtaining this complex of physiologically active substances in laboratory conditions. We were able to prove that the substance obtained in this way resembles natural mumijo in its appearance, chemical composition and pharmacological action. This complex of physiologically active substances can serve as the basis for the formation of a product that we call “mumiyo”.

In high altitude conditions, where there is a decrease in oxygen content, strong winds, sudden temperature changes, large amounts of ultraviolet radiation and increased radioactive background, as well as in hot, dry areas, the activity of microorganisms that ensure the decomposition of organic residues is sharply reduced.

Because of this, conditions are created in nature when biomass of animal or plant origin, not destroyed by microorganisms, mummifies and polymerizes over time and hardens in places inaccessible to moisture, and in other places is dissolved by soil waters and disperses in the soil or forms in soil sinter structures in voids.

During a pharmacotoxicological study, such substances become physiologically active and, when used in certain doses and appropriate dosage forms, have a healing effect on the pathological process of animals or humans.

Mountain balsam (mumiyo) is such a product, formed under the influence of physical and chemical phenomena of nature, mainly of natural organic origin.

Modern theory of mumiyo education

BiologicalLife appeared on Earth 500 billion years ago.years ago inprebiogenic period. Mumiyo is afundamentallyprimitive earthly silicon life,whichoncebegan to develop, but was pushed aside by the rapidly evolving carbon-based life that emerged from the water. Silicon lifecouldultimately give an evolutionary resulttatNotless than the current evolution. Mumiyo -powerfulbiostimulant. It passes in a person through all his structural levels, straightening them.Bones- the densest plane in a person, and mumiyo influences them the most. Mumiyo is primordial and even acts on the human genetic code.

The evolution of our planet inevitably includes catastrophic periods. The catastrophic nature, according to researchers, is associated with the absorption by our planet of protostellar cosmic material periodically brought by comets. Periods last for millions of years. The supposed extinction of dinosaurs and, probably, all biotic life in general 65 million years ago may have been associated with such a catastrophe.

You can try to imagine what happened when a comet approached the Earth, having oxygen in its sphere. Abundant and fairly dense matter burst into the atmosphere and burned, becoming impoverished | the latter with oxygen. The entire sky from horizon to horizon turned into a burning torch, followed by extinction, after which sticky, cold darkness set in. All living things with organs of perception were grouped together from such a hell and died, covered with a layer of oxide cosmic elements. The thickness of the layer of space material during each catastrophe is recorded in geological sections of the planet. Disasters on Earth were repeated, so the cuts are a multi-layered cake consisting of sand, clay and other oxides, filled with decay products of plants and animals.

It is known that fallen trees, plants or animals, under the influence of atmospheric oxygen and microorganisms, gradually undergo putrefactive degradation with the formation of simple molecules that participate in the circulation of substances. As a result of such a cycle, the appearance of coal, oil and chalk in the depths is impossible. However, they exist. The fact of their layer-by-layer arrangement indisputably indicates multiple rapid burial of all life on Earth, followed by autolysis.

Scientists have experimentally shown that known fossils constitute only a minority of the total mass of products of destruction of living matter. The bulk consists of an aqueous solution of destruction products of living systems that once inhabited the Earth. In mountainous regions in waterproofcollectorsSuch solutions can be concentrated to a table-shaped, fusible, fluid mass. Such mineral-organic substrates (MOS) are pressed onto the surface of rocks during thermogeodynamic processes.Because theMOS contains all the substances from which life begins and to which it is reduced whendestructionunder certain conditions, it is a healing and nutritional agent for all living systems. Animals, birds and insects have long beenuse MOSfor similar purposes.MOSnot aboutgets alongcumulative property, and its excess inunchangedform is excreted from the body with productstamimetabolism, which creates the “mumiyo” phenomenon.

People most often find mumiyo in mountainous regions of the planet, in places where insects gather, near bird nesting sites or animal sites, and therefore objectively associate its origin with the life activity of one or another biotic species. There were even curious attempts to obtain mumiyo by keeping wild animals in captivity. However, of course, nothing came of this, since the animals did not receive MOS, which they fed under natural conditions. A person can also “produce” mumiyo if he eats MOS in excess. To enhance athletic performance, some coaches gave their athletes MOC in excess of the norm. However, instead of going to the start line, the athletes “started” in a different direction, because excess MOS leaves the body with the so-called relaxation.

Mumiyo is used by bioticssystemsincluding a person with deepantiquities.

It was usedall the great healers of the past, but until now no one knew about its nature.Eachdythe researcher found in mumiyo what allowedavailablehe has an analytical method at his disposal. So it turns out that the word “mummy” means an infinite variety of naturesnykhmixtures. Knowledge of the original essence of MOS has made it possible to most fully determine the composition of many varieties of mumiyo. Mumiyo is significantly different from MOS and cannot be clearly identified. Moreover, depending on the degree of pre-mineralization, mumiyo can even be toxic. MOS is absolutely harmless. As a result of the above, MOS can be considered a phenomenal natural pharmacy with the necessary set of “medicines”, selectively selected by biotic systems (microorganisms, plants and animals, including humans) for any deviations from the norm. With the discovery of MOS, humanity for the first time had the opportunity to prevent and treat manyfromknown and unknown pathologies without preliminary expensive and often incorrect diagnosis and examination, stimulation of reproduction, growth and development.

Studying mumiyo from “reading translations of ancient manuscripts in which this medicine was mentioned. From these sources, as well as from oral reports of local traditional Tabibs, it is known that mumiyo is mined in the mountains. Therefore, the task was set - to find deposits of this natural balm in the mountainous regions of Central Asia and thereby refute the opinion that mumiyo is only available abroad in Tibet, Afghanistan, Iran and other countries.

On the initiative of the Uzbek Scientific Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics, in 1964, the Ministry of Geology of Uzbekistan gave orders to exploration parties in search of minerals to simultaneously explore the mumiyo deposits. The search began in Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan. Collections of samples were collected even abroad during geological work there (mainly in Afghanistan and Arab countries). Thus, the opportunity has opened up to continue studying mumiyo and conduct experiments now on a larger scale.

Special expeditions were sent to the spurs of the Chatkalsi ridge. Local enthusiasts provided great assistance in searching and extracting mumiyo: resident of the village of Burch-Mulla Olim Khaitov, electrical engineer from Samarkand A.N. Dyachenko, turner M.I. Baryshev, A. Suleymanov, T. Zarinov (from Kyrgyzstan), A.S. Sharikov (from Fergana), S.T. Akimov (from Frunze), Z. Khakimov (from Tashkent) and many other.

Geological work on a comprehensive study of mumiyo in the mountainous regions of Uzbekistan has shown that it is confined to certain landscape belts and zones. The studied area is a promising area for identifying and extracting mumiyo raw materials. It is possible to organize the extraction of purified mumiyo in sufficient quantities every year, since molasses mumiyo is capable of recovery, but the recovery period has not been precisely established. Therefore, additional field research is necessary.

Over 50 sources of mumiyo were discovered in the Chatkal, Zarafshan, Turkestan, Pamir, Tien Shan, Kopetdag mountainous regions of Central Asia and it was established that its industrial reserves can fully meet the needs of our country’s medicine, taking into account the small doses of the balm due to its high efficiency.

Observations during an expedition in search of mumiyo and examination of its locations confirm that it is a mineral from rocks. Mumiyo was mined in deep caves, grottoes at high altitudes (2800-3000m), in places inaccessible to animals and birds. (Fig. 5).

In August 1976, the scientific and technical council of the USSR Ministry of Geology recognized that mumiyo belongs to the category of minerals.

The study of mumiyo through geological science first began within the walls of the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR thanks to the organization in 1977 of a special laboratory for the study of mumiyo. The laboratory conducted a case study of the patterns of placement and features of the geological structure of the manifestation of mumiyo with an assessment of the prospects for the renewability of its reserves.

The initiators of these studies on the study of mumiyo were Ph.D. honey. Sciences, Honored Geologist of the UzSSR N.P. Petrov, Ph.D. geologist. Sciences Z.N. Khakimov, head laboratory of hypergenesis, capd. geological and mineralogical sciences T.K. Karzhauw and other employees. Chemical analysis of the elemental composition of the organic part of mumiyo, spectral analysis, infrared spectrometry, and chromatography were studied. Thin sections of the host mummy-bearing rocks were studied. A map of the distribution of mumiyo in the regions of the Uzbek SSR and schematic maps of the territory of mumiyo reserves have been compiled.

Rare historical information, as well as stories from some mumiologists and mumiyo miners, confirm the opinion that mumiyo reserves are renewable. Identification of the renewability (restoration or regeneration) of mumiyo as a result of its continuous formation in the zone of “hypergene processes,” as geologists put it, is of great importance for assessing production prospects.

To introduce this drug into practical and scientific medicine, the extracted samples of mumiyo were subjected to comprehensive study.

Study of physical and chemical properties. The chemical composition of mumiyo has not been studied until now. First of all, we determined its physical and chemical properties.

Physical properties of mumiyo. Purified from impurities and extracted mumiyo-asil is a homogeneous mass of dark brown color, elastic consistency, with a shiny surface (Fig. 6), a peculiar aromatic odor and a bitter taste. Specific gravity 2.13; melting point 80°C; pH 6.5-7. During storage, mumiyo gradually hardens due to loss of moisture.

Mumiyo has a specific smell, reminiscent of juniper.

Rice. 6. Sample of purified mumiyo.

When it is dissolved in water, a colloidal solution is formed. The color of the solution changes depending on the degree of its concentration. The color of a weak solution is pale yellow, a medium concentration is wine yellow, and a high concentration is black (dark).

Mumiyo has very high hygroscopicity. Actively absorbing water from the environment, mummies gradually go into solution. It is interesting to note that the mumiyo, located in the refrigerator evaporator, also actively absorbs water and turns into a semi-liquid state, despite the low temperature in the refrigerator.

The chemical composition of Central Asian mumiyo was studied for the first time in 1963 by A. Sh. Shakirov and A. M. Mirzakarimov.

Mumiyo is a complex mixture of organic and inorganic substances. The moisture content in mumiyo samples depends on the primary processing of the raw materials, storage period and temperature and fluctuates under normal conditions from 15 to 20%. The quantitative content of components in different samples of mumiyo varies somewhat, but in general the composition of mumiyo purified from impurities from different sources is homogeneous.

Studies of the chemical composition of natural mumiyo have shown that it consists of two parts: organic (90%) and inorganic (10%).

The organic part of mumiyo was studied for certain amounts of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and ash, amino acids, vitamins, hormones, enzymes and other compounds, and the inorganic part was studied mainly for oxides of potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, etc.

Research of samples of Uzbek mumiyo in the laboratory “Oil and gas content of the water area” of the Institute of Oceanology named after. P.P. Shirshov of the USSR Academy of Sciences showed that different samples of mumiyo have almost the same physical and chemical properties, differing only in the ratio of individual components.

General chemical analysis showed that the balsam of the Central Asian mountains contains a large amount of organic substances, as well as silicate groups of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, iron, titanium, calcium, lead, magnesium, barium, manganese, sodium, potassium and in small quantities of strontium oxide. In addition to these compounds, mumiyo contains sulfur and phosphoric anhydride.

According to analyses, mumiyo consists of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and there are a lot of other various elements in it: aluminum, calcium, silicon, sodium, potassium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, barium, sulfur, bismuth, nickel, cobalt, tin, strontium, chromium, gallium, molybdenum.

From the above it follows that mumiyo is a complex, apparently organometallic compound, externally similar to a resin-like substance, the organic part of which consists of carbon, hydrogen, and the inorganic part of nitrogen, aluminum, sodium, potassium, silicon and many other trace elements. It is apparently formed as a result of complex chemical and biochemical transformations of the original organic matter occurring in the surface part of the earth's crust in the hypergenesis zone with the active participation of natural water, oxygen and, possibly, microorganisms.

Hello, dear fans of traditional medicine. In today’s article I would like to touch on the topic of using a product such as mumiyo for medical purposes.

In this article you will learn what mummy is, what it treats and how to use it.

Shilajit - what is it and where does it come from?

It is very difficult to find a modern person who has never heard of mumiyo. This is explained by the fact that people have been using this product for medical purposes since time immemorial, and over the years its popularity has not waned at all and, on the contrary, has been growing!

Mumiyo is an organo-mineral product of alternative (non-traditional) medicine of natural origin. It is pieces of various shapes and sizes of heterogeneous dense, solid mass with an uneven or granular, matte or shiny surface, brittle or hard-plastic consistency with inclusions of plant, mineral and animal origin, enclosed in a resin-like substance, brown, dark brown, black with pale gray spots of color, a specific smell, in the formation of which rocks, soil, plants, animals, and microorganisms take part. The exact process of its formation has not yet been studied.

Where do these healing minerals come from and why do they have such healing powers?

How is mumiyo formed?

There is still no consensus on how mumiyo is formed. There are only separate versions, the main one of which I will introduce you to. This version contains a whole logical chain and, in my opinion, is not without meaning. So it sounds something like this:

As you know, mumiyo is a product mined in the mountains; mountain caves are places where bats live. The main food of bats are insects that live in mountainous regions, whose food (follow the logical chain) is mountain grasses or their nectar.

So, according to this theory, all useful substances, essential oils, etc. passing through this natural chain they accumulate in the digestive tract of bats, leaving there naturally in the form of excrement

The excrement of bats accumulates in their roosting places (in mountain caves), where they undergo subsequent fermentation, which is facilitated by the microclimate of the caves. This is approximately how mumiyo is formed.

This version may not suit the particularly squeamish, but that’s exactly what it sounds like. Besides, there is nothing a person will do to recover from an illness. Urine therapy alone is worth it!

There are other versions of the origin of mumiyo, for example:

• mineral - it is assumed that the reason for the formation of the product was the interaction of minerals with various microorganisms
• cadaveric - according to her, the mumiyo was formed from the corpses of animals that were mummified naturally
• honey - wax version - according to it, the merit of the formation of this product belongs to wild bees and climatic conditions ()
• lichen - according to it, mumiyo is a waste product of ordinary lichens

These are the versions. In my opinion, which one is correct is not so important. Much more important is that mumiyo really has valuable medicinal properties, which it would be simply stupid not to take advantage of.

The composition of this product, depending on its type, may vary slightly, but in general, in all varieties of this product you can find:

1. minerals (calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulfur, silicon, phosphorus, potassium, etc.) zoomelanoid acids
2. tricarboxylic acids
3. trace elements (vanadium, aluminum, chromium, nickel, iodine, molybdenum, copper, selenium, manganese, lithium, lanthanum, cobalt, iron, etc.)
4. plant and animal products

A survey for those who have already used mumiyo for medicinal purposes. Answer honestly - did it help or not?

Mumiyo - how to take orally

The data from these two tables will help you correctly calculate the dosage of taking mumiyo orally. The first table shows the dosage for adults depending on the person’s weight, the second table tells how to calculate the dosage for children.

Adult weight	Reception for 1 time in grams	Daily dose	Dose for 1 course of treatment (28 days) in grams	Dose for 3 courses of treatment for 28 days in grams
Up to 70 kilograms	0.2	0.6	17	51
Up to 80 kilograms	0.3	0.9	25	75
Up to 90 kilograms	0.4	1.2	34	102
Over 90 kilograms	0.5	1.5	42	126

Children under 1 year	0.01 grams/per time	0.03 grams per day	0.84 grams for 1 course in 28 days	2.52 grams for 3 courses of 28 days
Children from 1 to 9 years old	0.05 grams/per time	0.15 grams per day	4.2 grams per 1 course in 28 days	12.6 grams for 3 courses of 28 days
Children from 9 to 14 years old	0.1 grams/per time	0.3 grams per day	8.4 grams per 1 course in 28 days	25.2 grams for 3 courses of 28 days

Regardless of the disease, mumiyo is always taken on an empty stomach, after diluting it in water or milk in a ratio of 1/20. The tables indicate the dosage in its pure form. Example:

• person's weight is 90 kg. We take 0.4 grams of mumiyo and dilute it in 20 parts of water or milk.

• The child is 10 years old. Take 0.1 grams of mumiyo and dilute it in 20 parts of water or milk

The course of treatment (optimal) is usually a full 28 days. Take 1 or 2 times a day, usually in the morning (before breakfast) and evening (before bed).

Below in the recipes, different dosages are indicated. They are designed for the average weight of an adult. Always correct them based on the tables.

Types of mumiyo

To classify the substance, the mountain mummy was called by the name of the place in which it was found. For example, Siberian, Altai, Arabian, Tibetan, Himalayan, etc. The division into types occurs according to composition, depending on the number of metal particles in one form or another.

There are four main varieties:

1. Golden mummy (it differs in color - from dark orange to burgundy).
2. Silver (has a milky tint).
3. Copper (strikes the eye with a dark blue or azure palette).
4. Iron - occurs most often. Painted in black and brown colors.

Where to buy mumiyo

The product is sold in pharmacies and specialty stores selling traditional medicine.

Mumiyo is produced in the form of capsules or tablets. You can also purchase a unique mineral in the form of paste, balm, plates and briquettes.

Main forms of release:

1. Pills. The content of mumiyo in pills is relatively small. After all, in the manufacture of tablets, various additional substances are used.
2. Balm. It is sold in jars. This balm looks like uncured resin. The content of mumiyo in this case is much greater than in tablets.
3. Mumiyo purified. It is best to purchase this one. The mineral can be in the form of plates. Its cost is significantly higher compared to the two previous forms. However, there are much more benefits from it. The purified substance is also packaged in briquettes.

The most common is Altai mumiyo. Let's consider it.

How to take Altai mumiyo?

The mineral substance, like other medications, should be taken with caution. Let's study such a remedy as Altai mumiyo and its application.

1. The maximum permissible dose of mumiyo is 6 grams per day.
2. The recommended dosage is 3 g per day. This dose can be measured using precise pharmacy scales, but, naturally, not everyone has such a measuring device in their kitchen. Therefore, you can focus on the size of the piece. A piece weighing 3 grams is the size of an average pea.

How to use the instructions give the following. The substance is dissolved in water and taken according to a certain scheme:

• in the morning - on an empty stomach;
• in the afternoon - 1 hour before lunch;
• in the evening - 2 hours after dinner.

The product is used in this way to treat all diseases. This method of administration has been known since ancient times and has been tested for centuries.

How long should you take mumiyo?

A question that definitely arises among people who are aimed at treatment with this natural component.

Mumiyo should be taken internally in courses. The duration of treatment depends on the severity of the disease.

The old instructions for taking the Altai substance give the following recommendations:

1. If the disease worsens, take the “medicine” for 10 days. Then take a break. After 5 days, start taking it again for 10 days.
2. For chronic diseases, repeat the dose for 10 days. It will take 4-5 courses. It is important not to forget to take 5-day breaks between courses.
3. For severe illnesses, mumiyo is taken for a month. Then take a 10-day break. After this, another course is carried out for 30 days.

Mumiyo in cosmetology

This substance contains collagen, which is responsible for skin elasticity. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the beneficial properties of mumiyo in cosmetology.

Without resorting to expensive cosmetic procedures, you can improve the condition of your skin and largely get rid of such unpleasant defects as:

• wrinkles;
• cellulite;
• dark spots;
• freckles;
• stretch marks;
• sagging skin.

Regularly using mummy on the face can eliminate many skin problems that occur with age.

Use in cosmetology

Mumiyo is present in many recipes that provide youth and beauty to the skin.

For use at home you need to prepare a solution:

• Grind the mummy plates in a mortar.
• Then gradually add water to the crushed powder until completely dissolved (the water must be at room temperature).
• Proportions for preparing the solution: take 5 g of mumiyo per 50 ml of water.

This solution can be taken orally. Drinking it 2 times a day before meals, 1 tsp. You can perfectly increase your hemoglobin level.

Application of the solution in cosmetology:

1. Pour the product into an ice tray and freeze. Rub your skin twice a day with ice cubes. This mummy is very useful for the face. This procedure helps reduce existing wrinkles and prevents the formation of new ones.
2. Make a mask with mummy solution. It restores elasticity to the skin, gets rid of acne, and evens out the complexion.
3. You can put mumiyo tablets (about 8 pieces) in a bottle with shampoo. If you wash your hair with the resulting product, the hair follicles will be strengthened and hair health will return.

Let's look at some more great recipes.

Hair restoration mask with mumiyo

Follow this procedure:

1. Dissolve 4 g of Altai mumiyo in 1 tbsp. Then add 1 yolk and 1 tbsp. l. burdock oil.
2. Apply the mask to your hair and be sure to apply to your scalp.
3. After an hour, rinse with herbal shampoo or chamomile decoction.

This mask can be made no more than twice a month!

Cream with mumiyo for acne and skin pigment

Production and use of the product:

1. Dissolve 15 g of mumiyo in a spoon of water.
2. Melt 40 g of ghee and 20 g of wax. Stir and cool.
3. Add mummy solution and 1 tsp to the oil-wax mixture. Agave juice.
4. Mix thoroughly until smooth.

Apply the resulting cream daily to the face in a thin layer.

Currently, instead of oil and wax, baby cream is used. But still, mumiyo exhibits its properties better when interacting with natural ingredients. Therefore, if possible, it is preferable to use oil and wax in this recipe.

Contraindications

We should not forget that the beneficial properties and contraindications are of interest (if we consider mumiyo). The healing power of the substance is discussed above. Now let's look at the contraindications.

Please note that mumiyo is incompatible with alcohol. Therefore, when using it internally and externally, it is necessary to avoid interaction with alcohol-containing drugs and drinks.

There are also other contraindications for taking mumiyo, which you should definitely familiarize yourself with before starting treatment:

• Children under 12 years of age are prohibited from taking the product.
• You should not take mumiyo during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Take with caution for disorders of the nervous system and hypertension.
• It is prohibited to use the product if you have an individual intolerance to the substance.

Thus, mumiyo is an invaluable product of nature for humans. It is used in all areas of traditional medicine. Since 2000, the Ministry of Health has recommended mumiyo as a general tonic for oral administration in tablet form. Thus, official medicine recognizes the mineral substance as a remedy.

Mumiyo as a medicinal substance has been known since ancient times; it is believed that it has been used for more than three thousand years! Biruni, Avicenna and Aristotle wrote about it, and it was used by the ancient Egyptians. In Europe, Aristotle (IV century BC) was the first to describe mumiyo in his writings, noting its therapeutic effect and describing what diseases it could help with. Millennia have passed, but 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 must tell readers everything about this unique substance. From the book you will learn what types of mumiyo there are, its composition and origin; all about the benefits of the substances that make up mumiyo; what drugs are produced based on it. We will tell you about the therapeutic and cosmetic effects of mumiyo and teach you how to use it correctly for specific diseases.

What is mumiyo: origin, composition, types

As already mentioned, mumiyo has been known since ancient times. Its current name comes from a Greek word meaning “preserving heat.” The Iranian (Persian) name sounds like “mum” - “protecting organism”. 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 flows from the “luminous 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 7th century. n. e. The Arabs conquered Egypt and saw the embalmed bodies; they “recognized” the substances with which they were processed as a product known to them. At the same time, they didn’t check it for authenticity, it just looked like a “moom.”

And it began to be believed that the Egyptians used mumiyo for embalming. At the same time, no one asked the question where the Egyptians could get such quantities of a product mined in very limited quantities (a 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 stories about its miraculous properties, so selling it became extremely profitable. This led to the fact that robbers in Egypt began to dig up graves and pull out mummies, from whose skulls and bones the black coating was scraped off and sold for huge sums of money. When demand increased further, the corpses of executed criminals and simply dead people began to be used to produce magic resin; sometimes even “mumiyo” was made from animal corpses. Gangs of robbers dug up graves, pulled 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 mummies. There, one of the merchants offered him 40 varieties of mumiyo. The corpses were treated with bitumen and dried in the sun so that the bodies looked like Egyptian mummies. Moreover, in Europe this was known, since it was even written about 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 from my body and sell me to the apothecary."

This is the story of the “Egyptian mumiyo”. 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-aljssod” (“preserves heat”) 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" ("conquering stone"), and in Burma as "chas-tum" ("blood from the mountain").

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

Types of mumiyo 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, facial paralysis, poisoning, gastrointestinal ulcers, inflammatory diseases of the bladder, tuberculosis and many other diseases.

Mumiyo was written about in a variety of works, from Tibet to Greece, there are more than 70 references to it, and everywhere it was recognized as a very effective medicinal substance. However, it is still not known exactly what it is. There are very different points of view on this issue.

For example, in the Tibetan treatise “Yangal-Zhadbo” 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 flow out, which is called brag-shun, that is, rock spout.” That is, in Tibet, mumiyo was considered a derivative of minerals. Brag-shun was described as a heavy and solid substance that has a characteristic color and odor and dissolves without sediment. “If brag-shun contains an admixture of earth, stones, animal feces, this type is considered the worst, but if obtained in holy places, it is still suitable.” Based on appearance, taste and medicinal properties, brag-shun was divided into five types: gold, silver, copper, ferrous, tin.

Avicenna wrote: “Mummy is mountain wax. It has thinning and resolving properties and action.”

Nowadays, the most general definition says that mumiyo is a natural mixture of organic and inorganic substance, 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 resin-like masses. Mumiyo from different countries and from different deposits has a similar qualitative composition, but differs in the ratio of individual parts. At the same time, various instrumental techniques are now used for research, which has made it possible to find out the composition of various types of mumiyo extracted from different deposits.

For example, the isotopic composition of the Altai mumiyo 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. Mumiyo does not form on the plains. Most mumiyos are 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 mumiyo is very complex. Scientists are constantly studying it, but have not come to a single conclusion. Some articles say that all types of mumiyo are of organic origin, while others say that not all. This may depend on the place of origin of the particular sample being studied.

For example, mumiyo from the mountains of Central Asia contains a large amount of organic substances, 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 based on the results of a comprehensive study at the Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, scientists concluded that this mountain balsam is a natural mineral with a stable organic part of the molecule.

The third study states that mumiyo contains over 80 components - substances vital for the body, including plant-derived antibiotics 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).

In some types of mumiyo, they also found carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, amino acids (histidine, threonine, methionine, tryptophan, lysine, valine, etc.), more than 10 different metal oxides, essential oils, fatty acids, vitamins, hemin bases, auxins, inhibitors , chlorophyll, enzymes, hormones and other substances.

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

And there are quite a lot of such studies with various compositions of mumiyo. That is why there is no single classification of mumiyo. This substance is divided into various groups, and sometimes “mummy itself” and “mummy-like substances” are distinguished.

Shilajit is considered an oil of mineral origin, heavily contaminated with 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 examined. Based on the results, scientists came to the conclusion that, probably, poisonous herbs and medicinal plants eaten by the animals contribute to the formation of mumiyo (arhar-tasha).

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

Bituminous mumiyo is distinguished - it is a liquid or wax-like mass of a dark color that accumulates as a result of anaerobic (without access to 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 mumiyo was discovered high in the mountains, in rock voids where neither animals nor plants could get into.

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

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

Cadaveric is a solid or waxy black mass formed during mummification or slow decomposition of the corpses of animals and insects.

Excrement (coprolite) – fossilized excrement of small animals, mainly rodents and bats.

Mumiyo can also be obtained artificially (as was done in the Middle Ages) - by mummifying the corpses of animals, insects, people, or in the laboratory from medicinal plants, rodent droppings, which in appearance resemble the primary mumiyo.

“Mumie-asil” is a solid mass of dark brown or black color, smooth and shiny. 26 microelements were found in its composition - less than in other types of mumiyo, but it contains a lot of organic substances, and, which is a distinctive feature of “mumiyo-asil”, it contains bee venom.

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

Thus, mumiyo is formed from various substances: microelements, microorganisms, plants, animals and their waste products. And mountains are needed because of their microclimate. It is the highlands, where the oxygen content is reduced, sudden temperature changes, and increased ultraviolet radiation. Also conducive to the formation of mumiyo is a hot, dry area, where there are few microorganisms and the remains do not decompose, but become mummified. In some places that are not accessible to moisture, they harden, and in others they are dissolved by soil water, dissipating or forming sag in the voids.

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

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

In the “Register of Medicines of the Russian Federation”, only one type of mumiyo is included in the section BAA (dietary additives).

Types of mumiyo and preparations based on it

When mumiyo is found in the mountains, it is a mass similar to resin, dark, sometimes almost black in color, heterogeneous in composition. In one place (one deposit) it usually contains from 200 kg to 1.5 tons. A natural mummy may contain seeds, sand, plant parts, small rock fragments, wool, insect shells, bones, pieces of wood, and mummified animal waste products. Of course, such mumiyo cannot be consumed; it must first be cleaned.

The consistency of the mummy depends on the amount of moisture in it and on the air temperature. As the air temperature rises and falls, the mummy softens, becomes viscous, and spreading. It tastes bitter.

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

A cleaned mummy looks like a thick, homogeneous plastic mass, easily kneaded by hand, 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.

“Older age” mumiyo is considered more useful, since it contains a higher content of natural antibiotics and anticoagulants and, accordingly, a higher effectiveness of therapeutic effects.

Moreover, if you overheat it during cleaning (for example, bring the temperature of the water bath to +60 °C), then its organic component may decompose and the beneficial effect of the drug will become minimal.

The processing temperature should not be higher than +39 °C.

In the original mumiyo, the dose of the beneficial substance is much smaller, 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 much more - are partially excreted.

After cleaning, four main types are distinguished: “golden mumiyo” – red, “silver mumiyo” – white, “copper mumiyo” – blue, “dark mumiyo” – brown-black.

The most common are “copper” and “dark” mumiyo. The highest quality mumiyo is considered to be black, shiny and soft.

To determine the quality of the mummy, it is crushed by hand. If the mummy is good, it will soften, but the bad one will remain hard.

Indian mumiyo - shilajit is cleaned by soaking in water, then boiled in decoctions of various herbs, including triphala decoction (a 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. When processed and mixed with triphala, shilajit is a gray, bitterish powder. In addition to pure mumiyo, it also contains medicinal herbs.

Shilajit extract is made in different ways. In Soviet times, the factory method was as follows: crushed mummy was poured with ten times the volume of warm water (+40-50 °C), and then 6 hours after repeated decantation 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 content of no more than 5%. The result was a hygroscopic powder with an odor and a pungent taste, soluble in cold and hot water. Sterilization took place in an autoclave at +120 °C.

Nowadays they mostly do it this way. The collected raw material is crushed and filled with warm boiled water. The solution is infused for up to five days. Then, after careful filtration, water is removed from the solution, and the evaporation temperature is very important for the subsequent biological activity of the mumiyo. If trace element compounds are preserved at high temperatures, then amino acid compounds, which form the basis of the biological activity of mumiyo, begin to disintegrate already at +45-50 ° C. Therefore, it is best if vacuum drying is used in special laboratories, when water intensively evaporates at low temperatures. If there is no vacuum technology, then you can use evaporation in a water bath, but at the same time control the temperature of the solution at the bottom of the container. The extract can be dried by natural evaporation of residual water.

The result is a mummy extract: a solid mass with a shiny surface. Its color can be different: from yellow-brown to black, the 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 mumiyo has no expiration date, since it cannot spoil. Even the most conservative 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 mumiyo has no toxic, allergic or carcinogenic effects. This has been proven in many animal experiments and in studies conducted in various clinics. However, in case of oncology, mumiyo is recommended to be used with caution.

For long-term storage, mumiyo extract can be placed in a moisture-proof container and stored in a cool, dark 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 mumiyo 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 mg), 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.

Shilajit powder. The mummy should be dried at a temperature of +20-30 °C in the open air or in a well-ventilated area until it stops sticking at the 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 gauze 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 mumiyo. It can be done in three different ways.

1) Take 5 g of well-dried mummy and grind it in a mortar. Place the powder in a deep bowl and add 100 ml of pre-purified or boiled warm water. Leave for 5 minutes and start stirring with a pestle until you get a paste. By the way, this will allow you to determine the quality of the raw material: there should be no turbidity in the solution, the mummy should dissolve completely. Strain the prepared solution through two layers of gauze and add water to 500 ml.

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

3) Boil distilled water for 15 minutes to achieve complete sterility, cool to +70 °C. Then add 5 g of mumiyo powder to it and leave for a day. After a day, strain the solution and add water to the volume required by the recipe. The aqueous solution of mumiyo is stored for a day, after which 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 mumiyo in 20 ml (1 tablespoon) of warm boiled water. It turns out a 5 or 10% aqueous solution of mumiyo, which is used to lubricate the sore spot or make a compress.

Mumiyo alcohol tincture. Take 10 g of mumiyo and 70 ml of 20% alcohol solution. Grind the mummy into powder and pour into a glass bottle. Better dark. Fill with alcohol, seal the bottle and place in a dark and cool place for a week, shaking it 2 times a day. After a week, pour the mixture into another container, leaving 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 it with the 70 ml that you already have, 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 you can use it for its intended purpose.

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

Shilajit ointment There are different types and using different components.

1) 10% ointment. Take 5 g of mumiyo powder, moisten it with a few drops of distilled water and mix thoroughly. When the mass acquires the consistency of gruel, gradually, without ceasing to stir, add softened lard (45 g in total) into it, piece by piece. All this must be ground to a homogeneous mass. The ointment is considered to be prepared correctly if, when rubbed between your fingers, no grains are felt in it.

2) 4% or 7.5% ointment. Take mumiyo - 4 or 7.5 g, water - 25 or 27 g, anhydrous lanolin - 35 g, medical petroleum jelly - up to 100 g. First, you need to sterilize the lanolin and petroleum jelly 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. To prevent them from melting and leaking, they need to be hermetically sealed, and it is better to heat them on an alcohol lamp. It is better to boil dishes and tools in water for 15 minutes. For sterilization, it is enough to heat the mummy in a water bath at a temperature of +25-37 °C. In a sterile mortar, dissolve the entire volume of mumiyo in water, then add the melted, half-cooled alloy of lanolin and petroleum jelly to the solution in small portions and mix all components until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Store the composition in a place protected from light at a temperature not exceeding +20°C.

Mumiyo tiles and pills. First mix water and glycerin in a 1:1 ratio. Place the required amount of mumiyo powder (as indicated in the recipe) in a mortar and add a water-glycerin solution there in drops, rubbing with a pestle until a dough-like mass is obtained. Transfer this mass to a smooth surface (wooden, plastic) greased with vegetable oil. Gently mix the mixture again (preferably with a scalpel or thin knife), add fish oil or vegetable oil drop by drop and shape into balls or plates. The tiles and balls (pills) are shiny, black on the outside, with the smell of natural mumiyo, and harden when stored openly. Usually they are prepared as much as is needed for one course of treatment.

Candles with a 5% content of mumiyo is prepared in the following way. You need to have mumiyo powder, boiled or sterile water, and cocoa butter. Take 5 g of mumiyo powder, add a little water to make a paste, 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 and shape them into candles.

Shilajit compress used for joint pain, internal and ruptured abscesses, mastitis, radiculitis, osteochondrosis, etc. In different cases, take from 2 to 10 g of dry mummy. Moreover, if you apply it to a healthy area of ​​the skin, the drug will remain under the compress, and if it is applied to a sick area, 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.

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

Shilajit tablets. One tablet requires 0.2 g of mumiyo, 0.15 g of sugar. The excipients that fill the remaining volume of the tablet will be potato starch and calcium stearate. Mumiyo 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. Having rolled out a layer of 2 mm, dry at a temperature of +30-40 ° C until it becomes completely dry to the touch. Crumble the mixture and pass through a sieve, then dust with calcium stearate powder. After this, you can press the tablets, calculating the weight so that each contains 0.2 g of mummy.

Store the 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 the ideal shape of the 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 mumiyo.

Third option: pour the crumbled mass into gelatin capsules, if you can 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.

Mumiyo 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 a 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, just like the drugs described above.

Dry mumiyo substance should be stored in a hermetically sealed plastic bag. Taking part of the medicine from the package, the remainder must be slightly dried. Once exposed to 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, mumiyo is not immune to counterfeits.

Fraudsters can sell anything under the guise of mumiyo. 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 what a real mummy smells like. One more point: fakes often have a pronounced fibrous structure, which a real mumiyo 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 mumiyo may not be of very high quality, since pharmaceutical factories accept mumiyo from producers in small volumes (from several kilograms), and it is simply unprofitable to do a biochemical study of each batch.

The second point to remember is mumiyo 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, the tablets have an expiration date, unlike raw mumiyo, which can be stored for many years.

Third: the mummy itself has healing properties. When it is added to various ointments, creams and other compositions, 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 mumiyo in its pure form, then it can be stored longer and you can prepare the necessary preparations from it yourself as needed.

The benefits of substances that make up mumiyo

Shilajit contains: essential and 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, succinic, citric, oxalic, lichen, kojic, tartaric, etc.), essential oils, resins, resin-like 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, hemin bases, auxins, inhibitors, chlorophyll, enzymes, hormones, proteins, lipids, steroids, alkaloids, coumarins, essential oils, and bee venom were also found.

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

Glutamic acid In the human body it is present in proteins, a number of low-molecular 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 (most famously monosodium glutamate) 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 glutamic acid salts leads to the fact that food without them seems tasteless to a person.

Glycine is very necessary for restoring the nervous system and normalizing mental activity. It relieves nervous tension after prolonged physical activity, improves overall 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 the normal state of immunity.

Histidine refers to partially 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 oxygen transport. It also promotes tissue growth and regeneration in case of damage.

Phenylalanine serves as the starting material for the synthesis of another amino acid - tyrosine, and from it many substances necessary for the body are synthesized: adrenaline, dopamine, norepinephrine. These compounds are neurotransmitters and directly affect a person’s mental state, his emotional state, clarity of consciousness and sharpness of thinking. Phenylalanine is also needed for the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine, which is necessary for the absorption of nutrients entering the body. Phenylalanine is also needed for the synthesis of endorphins (“happiness hormones”). In addition to influencing 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 participates in the processes of synthesis of phospholipids and other substances, activates hormones, vitamins and enzymes that can neutralize various toxins. Methionine improves digestion, strengthens muscles, and alleviates toxicosis during pregnancy. It is needed for the synthesis of nucleic acids, collagen and other proteins involved in the construction of 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 of the body's connective tissue), elastin (a protein responsible for the elasticity of connective tissue) and muscle tissue. Threonine is found in significant quantities in the heart muscle. It helps 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 helping in the production of antibodies.

Tryptophan the person really, really needs it. In the body it is converted into serotonin (“the hormone of happiness”). Serotonin gives a feeling of emotional well-being, and it is also converted into melatonin, which regulates the biological clock. Tryptophan, among other things, controls appetite. It reduces food cravings, and in particular, reduces the desire to eat something sweet, starchy, or generally something that makes you fat. It gives an understanding that the person is already full and there is no need to chew further. In addition, it inhibits the formation of fat deposits.

Lysine very important for the absorption of proteins; if there is a lack of it, no matter how much protein there is 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, so it is important in older age for the prevention of osteoporosis. It normalizes fat metabolism and prevents the development of atherosclerosis. It promotes the production of antibodies, hormones of the endocrine system and enzymes of the digestive system, and ensures the absorption of amino acids. Lysine is important for efficient brain function, and its deficiency can impair short-term memory and the ability to concentrate.

Arginine helps maintain cholesterol levels, normal blood pressure, stimulates the production of insulin and thereby maintains normal blood sugar levels, improves the functioning of the immune system, and also helps rid the body of toxins.

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

Valin increases muscle endurance under heavy loads. It, together with leucine and isoleucine, serves as a source of energy during muscle metabolism. It helps with insomnia and nervousness, as it prevents a decrease in the level of serotonin (“the hormone of happiness”). 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, and 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, and improves the functioning of the heart muscle. When it is insufficient, 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, and improves hematopoiesis.

Nicotinic acid (vitamin PP or B3) regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, cholesterol, iron, the functional state of the central nervous system, reduces blood pressure, increases the secretion of gastric juice, and 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 fat deposition 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)– this is a group of substances with a total number of 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 the capillary walls, increasing their strength and elasticity, lowers blood pressure, and slows down the heart rate. Taking 60 mg of rutin daily for 4 weeks may reduce intraocular pressure. Vitamin P is also involved in bile formation and helps regulate the daily rate of urine output. One of the flavonoids, catechin, which is part of green tea leaves, is recognized as an effective antioxidant. It protects the body's cells from the effects of free radicals, thereby slowing down the aging process, increases the body's resistance to negative external factors and restores immunity. Having antibacterial properties, catechins also protect humans 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, and retains fluid in the body. The need for sodium chloride increases with profuse sweating, heavy physical labor, playing sports, and eating plant foods containing high amounts of potassium.

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

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

The given introductory fragment of the book Mumiyo. Natural medicine (Yuri Konstantinov, 2014) provided by our book partner -

Mumiyo is a biologically active substance of natural origin. It is mined in the mountains (flows out of rock crevices), therefore it is also known as mountain wax.

Resembles mumiyo resin - usually dark brown or almost black in color. Mumiyo has a specific smell and taste.

The chemical composition is complex: various organic and mineral substances are mixed into mumiyo; Among them are amino acids, essential oils, enzymes, vitamins, many microelements, etc.

Research shows that mumiyo, collected in different places and even at different times of the year, is not the same in composition.

For a long time there was no consensus on the origin of this product.

• It was believed that mumiyo is formed from the excrement of some mountain animals: these excrements, accumulating in rock crevices, undergo chemical changes over time, are partially weathered, concentrated, enriched with mineral substances from contact with rocks, and this is how raw mumiyo appears.
• Other researchers argued that mumiyo is a product resulting from the decomposition of plants, small animals and insects in conditions of lack of oxygen, with an admixture of minerals.
• Still others believed that mumiyo was of petroleum origin.
• Fourth - that this is honey from wild bees.
• Fifth - that this is mulberry juice that has undergone changes...

Recent research by scientists has established that the formation of mumiyo is influenced by many factors, but the basis for the formation of mumiyo is This is mountain mouse excrement. However, it is possible that these conclusions will also be refuted; Data from other studies have already been published, in which, among others, The ingredients of mumiyo are called bee venom (apitoxin).

Mumiyo has been used by humans for medicinal purposes for a very long time. The ancient Greeks also mentioned it; mumiyo was part of the arsenal of medicines of the famous medieval physician Abu Ali Ibn Sina. Use mumiyo that has been pre-processed and cleaned.

The following diseases are treated with mumiyo: catarrh of the upper respiratory tract, rhinitis, otitis, wounds, burns, mastitis, bronchitis and pneumonia, diseases of the liver and gall bladder, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and urinary organs, thrombophlebitis, hemorrhoids, etc. In addition In addition, mumiyo is used to speed up the healing of bones after fractures.

The healing effect of mumiyo is due to the fact that when used it stimulates biosynthesis processes in the body; this leads to improved metabolism, cleansing of the body and strengthening of its immune (protective) forces.

Thus, the effect of mumiyo is a general health-improving one. But local use of mumiyo is also effective due to the anti-inflammatory (bactericidal and bacteriostatic) effect of this remedy, as well as due to its ability to stimulate the regeneration process. Bone tissue (after fractures) heals faster in the presence of mumiyo, because mumiyo has the most favorable effect on mineral metabolism.

Methods for using mumiyo

In the form of an aqueous solution. The duration of treatment for mumiyo is 25-30 days. Take an aqueous solution (0.1 g of mumiyo - per 3 tablespoons of warm water) 2 times a day. In the morning, mumiyo is taken on an empty stomach, in the evening - 30 minutes before dinner. After a 10-day break, the course can be repeated.

Mixed with milk. The duration of the course of treatment is 24-28 days. The solution is prepared in the following proportion: 1 part mumiyo to 20 parts warm cow's milk. For one serving, 0.1-0.2 g of mumiyo is enough. Take 2 times a day: in the morning on an empty stomach and in the evening 30 minutes before meals. After a 10-day break, the course can be repeated if necessary.

A third course is also allowed. Mixed with honey. Course duration is 24-28 days. The mixture is prepared in the following ratio: 1 part mumiyo (0.1-0.2 g) to 20 parts honey (honey must be pure and uncandied). Take 2 times a day: in the morning on an empty stomach and in the evening 30 minutes before dinner. After a break of 10 days, the course can be repeated.

External use. Mumiyo is used externally in the form of applications (aqueous solution), ointments (on different bases), oil drops, and is also used for rinsing (aqueous solution); for a variety of diseases and skin lesions - purulent and non-purulent inflammations, eczema, burns, wounds; for joint diseases, etc. As a rule, external use is combined with oral use of mumiyo. The course of treatment is 25-30 days; if the therapeutic effect is achieved earlier, then the use of mumiyo is stopped earlier.

Applications are made like this: a gauze napkin folded in several layers is moistened with a 5% aqueous solution of mumiyo and applied to the site of inflammation or damage (for example, a burn). Applications can be done 1-2 times a day for 30-40 minutes; It is recommended to combine the use of applications with the use of other external therapeutic agents.

Ointments, containing mumiyo, are prepared on different bases: on the so-called internal pork fat, badger fat, marmot fat, hedgehog fat, etc. Vaseline or a mixture of Vaseline and lanolin can also be used as a base for the ointment. Before preparing a mixture with one of the listed fats, mumiyo needs to be mixed with a small amount of water so that it takes on the consistency of not very thick sour cream. Then mix 6-7 g of prepared mumiyo with 45 g of fat and mix thoroughly for 10-12 minutes. The finished ointment can be stored for a long time at the bottom of the refrigerator; Stir before use.

Any vegetable oil is suitable for preparing mumiyo oil drops.

The best is peach or apricot. First, mumiyo is diluted with a small amount of water to the consistency of not very thick sour cream, after which it is mixed with vegetable oil in the proportion: 5 g mumiyo per 50 g of oil. Before preparing these drops, the vegetable oil must be boiled and cooled.

Of the aqueous solutions of mumiyo, the most frequently used solution is a 5% solution (5 g of mumiyo per 100 ml of water). The water must be boiled and cooled before preparing the solution. The solution is prepared immediately before use.

It is acceptable to use mumiyo in childhood, since this product is low-toxic. Age doses are as follows: from 6 months. up to 1 year - 0.01-0.02 g; from 1 year to 9 years - 0.04-0.05 g; from 9 to 14 years - 0.06-0.1 g.

The use of mumiyo for certain diseases

Angina

Take mumiyo in an aqueous solution (0.1 g mumiyo per 3 tablespoons of warm water), and also use a 5% aqueous solution (warm) mumiyo for rinsing. Combine these rinses with rinses with other (traditional) means: solutions of furacillin, soda, etonium, dioxidine, sea salt, infusions and decoctions of medicinal plants, etc. Gargling with mumiyo solution 3-5 times a day is enough. After rinsing, do not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes. Just as for sore throat, mumiyo is used for pharyngitis and laryngitis.

Arthritis

In addition to taking mumiyo in the form of an aqueous solution (0.1 g - per 2-3 tablespoons of warm water), use externally in the form of a 10% ointment (for preparation of ointments with mumiyo, see above). Apply the ointment to the inflamed painful joint, cover with wax paper and wrap with a towel. Do it 2-3 times a day. The course of treatment is 10-15 days.

An aqueous solution of mumiyo (dissolve 0.2 g of mumiyo in one glass of boiled, cooled water) take one glass 3 times a day: in the morning on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before meals and 3-4 hours after meals. The course of treatment is 10 days.

Haemorrhoids

For hemorrhoids, mumiyo is taken 0.1-0.2 g per 2-3 tablespoons of warm water, and ointment is used to lubricate the anus: ointment on a cotton swab (or without a swab) is injected into the rectum 1-2 times a day several centimeters deep. In general, for hemorrhoids, it is recommended to lubricate the anus with ointment containing mumiyo every time after defecation; Before applying the ointment, the anus should be thoroughly washed with warm water.

Gingivitis

Take mumiyo 2 times a day: 0.1 g per 2-3 tablespoons of water. It is recommended to rinse your mouth with the same solution. Combine with traditional treatments. Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, gall bladder mumiyo should be taken in the form of an aqueous solution (0.1 g mumiyo - per 2-3 tablespoons of warm water) 2-3 times a day. The sooner treatment with mumiyo is started from the onset of the disease, the better the result can be achieved. The course of treatment is 20-30 days. If necessary, the course can be repeated after a ten-day break. Combine with traditional methods and means of treatment.

Mastitis

For mastitis, mumiyo is taken in an aqueous solution and used externally. A 5% aqueous solution of mumiyo is suitable for external use - in applications to the area of ​​inflammation; make applications 2-3 times a day for 35-40 minutes. The course of treatment is 15-20 days. Combine with traditional methods and means of treatment. Surgical practice shows that complicated mastitis (in the stage of abscess formation, with the development of phlegmon) after opening the lesion and evacuating the purulent contents is treated faster if, along with traditional remedies, a 5% aqueous solution of mumiyo is used to wash the cavity.

Neuralgia

Two or three times a day, lubricate painful areas with 10% mumiyo ointment, covering the top with wax paper and tying it with a towel or some warm cloth for 2 hours. The course of treatment is 10-15 days.

Burns

For burns, mumiyo is taken in the form of an aqueous solution (0.1 g mumiyo per 2-3 tablespoons of warm water) 2 times a day and used externally - in the form of applications. In case of severe pain at the burn site, a novocaine solution can be added to the mumiyo solution for applications.

Otitis (without perforations in the eardrum)

Shilajit should be taken in the form of an aqueous solution (0.1 g of mumiyo per 2-3 tablespoons of warm water) 2 times a day and instilled in the form of oil drops (see above for the preparation of oil drops) into the sore ear 3 times a day. You don’t have to instill, but put the mumiyo oil solution in the ear - in cotton or gauze swabs - 2 times a day for 2 hours. For severe otitis, it won’t hurt to put a tampon with the mumiyo oil solution in the ear overnight. Combine with traditional methods and means of treatment. The course of treatment is 7-10 days; if necessary - and more.

Periodontal disease

Used internally and externally - in the form of applications. For applications, a 5% solution of mumiyo is used. Make applications 1-2 times a day. It is also recommended to lubricate the gums (especially the transitional fold) with an oil solution of mumiyo several times a day. The course of treatment is 10 days; if necessary - and more.

Radiculitis

For radiculitis, it is recommended to lubricate painful areas with 10% mumiyo ointment, cover these areas with wax paper, and on top - with some warm cloth. Do this 2-3 times a day. You also need to take mumiyo in an aqueous solution (0.1 g mumiyo per 2-3 tablespoons of warm water). The course of treatment is 10-15 days.

Purulent wounds

Long-term non-healing wounds complicated by a suppurative process are effectively treated with the help of mumiyo. Firstly, mumiyo must be taken. This mobilizes the body and strengthens the immune response. Secondly, use mumiyo externally in the form of a 5% aqueous solution. A wound contaminated with purulent discharge should be washed with an aqueous solution of mumiyo 2 times a day, after which an application should be made with the same solution for 30-40 minutes. The course of treatment is 10 days.

Rheumatism

For rheumatism, it is recommended to lubricate the inflamed joints with 10% mumiyo ointment, cover these lubricated areas with wax paper and then with some warm cloth for 1.5-2 hours. Do this 2-3 times a day. You should also take mumiyo in an aqueous solution (0.1 g mumiyo per 2-3 tablespoons of warm water). The course of treatment is 25 or 30 days. If necessary, after a ten-day break, the course can be repeated. Combine with traditional methods and means of treatment.

Rhinitis

You can take mumiyo, but more often external use is sufficient. Place several pipettes of a 5% aqueous solution of mumiyo into the nose (lying on your back); Before instillation, the nose must be thoroughly cleaned. It is much more effective to rinse the nose and nasopharynx with the same 5% solution of mumiyo: suck the solution from the palm of your hand with your nose or use a rubber can for rinsing.

Bruises

Make lotions with a 5% aqueous solution of mumiyo for 10-15 minutes 3 times a day. Apply 10% mumiyo ointment to the injured area 2 times a day.

Furuncle

Regardless of what stage of development the boil is in, mumiyo can be used for treatment. Take an aqueous solution (0.1 g of mumiyo - per 2-3 tablespoons of warm boiled water), and apply a tampon with mumiyo ointment to the area of ​​the boil 2 times a day for 1.5-2 hours. Combine with traditional methods and means of treatment.

Eczema

For this disease, mumiyo should be used internally in an aqueous solution and externally in the form of applications and ointments. Applications are applied with a 2% aqueous solution of mumiyo for 15-20 minutes. Immediately after this, the area of ​​eczema is lubricated with 2% mumiyo ointment (on a Vaseline or Vaseline-lanolin basis). The course of treatment is 20-30 days. After a ten-day period, the course can be repeated.

Erosion of the cervix and vaginal walls

It is recommended to take mumiyo (0.1 g mumiyo per 2-3 tablespoons of warm water) and use a 5% aqueous solution for douching. At night, insert tampons into the vagina, generously moistened with a 5% aqueous solution of mumiyo. The course of treatment is 15-20 days. After a ten-day break, the course can be repeated if necessary.
