Origin of mumiyo
Mumiyo is a healing mountain wax that has many beneficial properties. But it also has contraindications.
Mumiyo is found in the mountains of our country, Iran, Arabia, India, Indonesia, Australia, Burma, Mongolia, mumiyo should also be found in South America.
In our country, in addition to the regions of Central Asia, Kazakhstan and Siberia, where the predicted resources of mumiyo are estimated at more than two hundred tons, mumiyo and mumiyo-like substances were found in the Caucasus (about 5 tons), in the Far East (Kuenga and Shilka river basins), in Yakutia (middle reaches of the Lena River, Aldan River, Sugun, Ongulah basins), in Chukotka (in the Kolyma basin).
In Altai, mumiyo resources amount to 250 tons. And across the country, some researchers estimate mumiyo resources at 500 - 2000 tons of raw materials. Mumiyo has about 30 local names. The vertical geography of mumiyo is limited to mountainous zones, but not above the snow line (in Central Asia, for example, it reaches 5,000 m). It is clear that the climate in such areas is dry, with a lack of oxygen, with increased ultraviolet radiation, with strong winds, and sharp fluctuations in daily temperatures.
Mumiyo is a healing mountain wax, which is a mixture of plant and animal components. It has been familiar to folk medicine for several centuries, famous as a remedy for thousands of diseases. The most valuable types are considered to be Altai and Oriental. To get the maximum effect from this natural medicine, you need to study mumiyo - the beneficial properties and contraindications of the substance.
According to experts, mumiyo is the result of high-quality processing of biomass in a mountain climate. It includes:
- animal waste products,
- plant remains,
- fragments of bee venom.
Tips for using Shilajit
- Mumiyo should be purchased at a pharmacy: it is sold in tablets so as not to purchase a fake
- If you decide to purchase mumiyo in the form of resin, then you need to do this from well-known manufacturers
- Before use, the mummy is dissolved in water. The tablets are crushed and filled with a small amount of water. Resin is taken ½ g per 10 ml of water

Cautions
Cases of individual intolerance to mumiyo are very rare, but they do occur. To avoid allergic reactions to mountain wax and other components of anti-aging masks, you should apply a small amount of the prepared composition to the delicate skin of the inner bend of the elbow. For this simple test, just wait 15–20 minutes - if redness has not started, you can use the cosmetic product without fear.
If the product applied to the bend of the elbow causes redness or itching, then it should not be used: it causes allergies
On the day you perform mountain wax treatments, drinking alcohol is not recommended. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, mumiyo should be used even externally with caution.
