Shilajit is a special product that came naturally. As a rule, it consists mainly of resins constantly flowing from cracks in the rocks. In connection with this feature of the origin, this remedy is considered an invaluable source of useful trace elements that help restore the human body.
Shilajit properties
Mumiyo has been known to man for a long time. As a rule, it is mined in rocky areas. The product is detected by a specific species. When the resin leaves the crevices, it hardens, eventually forming growths on the surface. It is precisely because of this origin that the mummy has an appropriate appearance, that is, a smooth, shiny surface, light or dark brown. Even by smell, the nature of this product is clear, because everyone will feel light notes of oil in it. When in contact with water, the mummy completely dissolves after a while.
In fact, the full composition and origin of Shilajit is still unknown. Practice shows that in the product I definitely present about 30macro- and microelements, 6 amino acids, essential oils, bee venom, as well as calcium, magnesium, iron and many other components. In addition, in the mummy there are also vitamins of various groups and acids like hippuric and benzoic, as well as wax. It is precisely because of its composition and properties that the use of shilajit most often helps to restore damaged tissues.
Use area
This natural medicine has numerous names. For example, in Mongolia it is called barag-shun (rock juice), in Iran - mumioyin (soft wax). By the way, the second part of this name, that is, Oiin, is the place where the mummy was first discovered.
In ancient times, the method of using mumiyo was almost the same, they treated skin lesions, various consequences of burns, they simply nourished dry and problematic skin. Thus, the tool has a long history, which has about 100 thousand years. Information about the various properties, contraindications of mumiyo is known thanks to the ancient manuscripts of the peoples of India, Tibet, China and many others. These historical sources are still being actively studied.
Origin
There are several theories about the origin of Shilajit. Let's take a look at each one.
One of the suggestions was that the drug was only the result of animal activity. More extensively, this theory has spread throughout Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. They believe that the substance is formed on the basis of the excrement of voles, small animals that live on elevatedrocks. If the origin of the mummy is considered from this point of view, then it is fair to say that the composition will contain metals, particles of gold, silver, tin, and iron. Moreover, depending on the prevailing amount of a particular substance, the mummy has a different color, as well as taste. The process takes place due to the fact that voles are not able to digest most of the food they consume, as a result of which the remains leave their body. Conditions in the mountains favor the formation of this kind of drug.
Favourable conditions for emergence
This theory has gained popularity due to the fact that there are certain facts that, in a sense, prove the origin of the mummy in this way.
The fact is that in the mountains the substance mummifies, becoming more solid. This is due to lack of moisture. If soil waters do reach biomass, then it quickly splits, soaks into the ground, and then simply disperses over the surrounding area. Sometimes underground, in cavities and voids, one can stumble upon strangely formed sinter structures. This is the same mummy, only it has a different look in this case.
To get a mass familiar to a person, specific conditions are needed, such as a certain relief on the rocks, which is formed at an altitude of 200 to 3,500 meters above sea level. Most often, the product can be found in the southern part, in some cavities, cracks or depressions. As a rule, a sufficient number of animals live in such a zone, contributing toproduct formation, certain plants also grow there, giving off part of their properties. Despite the frequent climate change, as well as significant precipitation, increased radiation, shilajit is perfectly formed here.
Shilajit of Altai origin is considered to be a product produced by mice or pikas. Animals are somewhat different from voles. That is, it is fair to say that this change in the usual theory also has the right to exist and is considered another option for the emergence of a drug.
The pika allocates its leftovers in the same area, which helps people eventually find the product very quickly.
From an old legend
There is also an unusual opinion about the origin, but it also has a place to be. It is believed that unusual giants cry in the mountains. Their tears harden, resulting in a mummy that can destroy all human diseases. Moreover, this product is very difficult to find. Whoever did this will be he althy and strong all his life.
