About this substance in the Large Dictionary of the Russian language under the editorship of SA Kuznetsov, one can read: "Mumiye is a biologically active pitch-like substance of natural origin, resulting from clefts of rocks used in folk medicine." What is the mummy and what is the origin of this curative substance, "flowing from the crevices of the rocks"?
The mummy is a bitter taste of a dark brown or black solid with a shiny surface. The mummy has a specific resinous smell, softens from the heat of the hands, dissolves in the water. It must be said that the first descriptions of the mummy are contained in the writings of Aristotle, and since then many hypotheses of its origin have appeared. The appearance of the mummy (sometimes called "mountain wax", "rock sweat", "glue stone"), some scientists associated with the processes that occur in the bowels of the earth. However, after years of observation and research, the scientists concluded that the mummy is not a mountain balsamic substance associated with the formation of rocks. Mumiye is an organic substance that is a product of processing plants by herbivores. The composition of the mummy includes a large number of organic and inorganic substances: hippuric and benzoic acids, amino acids, resins and waxes, gums, plant remains, a wide range of trace elements - up to 50 medicinal components selected by nature itself, present in mumiyo.
Analyzes showed that the excrement of rodents living in the mountains, by chemical composition, practically does not differ from mummies. This led to the idea of obtaining a mummy in an artificial way. Then the scientists conducted a laboratory experiment, which involved high-altitude silver voles. They were given as feed for plants that were seen in places of education mummies. The products of the voles of the voles were boiled, filtered, evaporated and a dark, shiny substance resembling a mummy was obtained, but it differed from the natural by its physical, chemical and pharmacological properties.
As in the natural, and in the laboratory mummy lies a huge healing power, obtained from a wide variety of mountain herbs. But the natural mummy, of course, is more healthful. The fact is that high in the mountains rarefied air with low oxygen content, sharp temperature changes, high solar activity and soils with low humidity reduce the activity of microorganisms that ensure the decomposition of organic remains. And at the same time, conditions are created in which biomasses of animal and vegetable origin do not collapse over time, but are mummified, forming a natural mummy.
FROM THE HISTORY OF APPLICATION
The use of mummies in folk medicine has more than 2 thousand years. The healing power of the mummy gave birth to legends, its beneficial action fascinated doctors, historians and poets of the past. "Only the mummy can save from death" - such is the sound of the ancient eastern proverb. So great was the faith of people in the healing properties of this substance! Among the peoples of the East, in particular Uzbeks, the word "asil" is added to the name of the mummy, which means the best, real. The phrase mummy asil has now become the most common name for this drug.
In ancient times, oriental medics (beginning with Avicenna) knew methods of treating headache with the help of mummies, they were treated with epilepsy, paralysis of the facial nerve, paralysis of parts of the body. For treatment, the patient was given a mummy mixed with juice or a decoction of marjoram. Mumiye was mixed with pork unsalted fat and dripped into the ear for deafness. A mixture of mummies with camphor and marjoram juice was buried in the nose - this helped with bleeding from the nose and from other diseases of the nose. The mummies were used to treat bronchial asthma, tuberculosis, tonsillitis, chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract, genitourinary system and skin diseases, mixing it with cow or coconut oil, lard, licorice and other components on plant and animal basis.
However, the greatest effect of mummy was seen in the treatment of bone fractures and various other traumatic injuries. Thus, Avicenna in the Canon of Medical Science wrote: "Mountain wax in the form of drinking and rubbing is a wonderful remedy for pain in case of dislocation, fracture, from falling and striking." Today it is scientifically confirmed that when the mummy is exposed to the body, mineral metabolism is intensified, as a result of which the healing of bone fractures is accelerated - bone callus is formed 8-17 days earlier than usual. In addition, the mummy has a bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect, increases immunity, and also has a diuretic and laxative effect
