Shilajit: benefit, harm, application

Nature is endlessly generous and her gifts are of extraordinary power. Everyone knows about the benefits of natural products, herbs, honey. The topic of this article is the mummy. What is it, what is it "eaten" with and what is it used for.

Mumiyo - what is it that heals

The name itself gives an association with pharaohs, mummies and Egypt. Indeed, it was once believed that this substance is obtained from embalmed mummies. In fact, this is completely wrong.

Shilajit is a unique natural substance, which contains more than 700 components. It has no analogues either in the natural world or in the world of test tubes. In addition to basic amino acids and trace elements such as iron, manganese, cobalt, the mummy contains:

• beeswax;
• essential oils;
• natural resins.

Not all of its components have been disclosed and studied to date.

This substance has many names, because its history has been traced for more than 3 thousand years. All kinds of legends about him can be found in the folklore of every nation. For example, the Altai called it mountain oil, the Mongols called it the juice of the rocks. Translated from ancient Greek, this word means “keeping warm”. It is believed that mummy is a unique natural resin that is mined in crevices and niches. This substance does not have any specific geography of extraction. It can be found absolutely everywhere - from China and South America to Mongolia and Australia. Throughout history, the mummy has been shrouded in various myths regarding its origin. Today, scientists have not come to a consensus. There are several main theories regarding the origin of the mummy. For example:

1. It is believed that this is one of the products of bee's vital activity. More precisely, embalmed honey.
2. There is a theory that shilajit is mountain crystals, which over time and under the influence of bacteria, turned into resin.
3. These are the fossilized corpses of ancient animals.
4. The popular belief is that it is bat excrement.

The unique composition of this substance allows it to provide healing effect on the whole body... So is the mummy good for the human body or is it harmful?

Peeled mummy is the most valuable and useful product. Looks like a briquette or black plate. The price "bites", but its benefits are obvious.

Shilajit: application

The easiest and best option is to dissolve in water, milk, natural juice or licorice root. Many people prefer to use the product together with honey. So you can kill its specific taste and smell.

If you refer to the instructions, then the optimal daily intake of the substance for an adult is 3 grams. Of course, in everyday life, it is difficult to measure micro weight so accurately.
