03/06/2018 Category: Stretch marksAuthor: Natalia Bliznyuk

Stretch marks are a cosmetic defect that is difficult for those for whom physical beauty comes first. This fact is used by manufacturers of body care cosmetics to increase their income. The higher the price of the product, the louder the advertising promises. However, experience shows that homemade creams are in no way inferior to ready-made ones. Moreover, the cost of ingredients in homemade products is much lower. Among folk recipes for stretch marks, the leaders are creams based on the mysterious mumiyo.

What is mumiyo

The secret of the origin of mumiyo has not yet been solved by scientists. The paradox is that this resinous substance, flowing from cracks in rocks, contains components of both organic and mineral nature. Magically, mumiyo absorbs rocks, soil, plant debris, microorganisms, and sometimes waste products of insects and animals. As a result of long fermentation and aging, a unique product with healing properties is formed.

When heated, mumiyo becomes plastic, like plasticine.

The chemical composition of mumiyo is complex and not fully understood. More than 60 chemical compounds were found in it, as well as almost all elements of the periodic table, including rare earth elements. From organic substances - glycic, humic, succinic, glutamic acid. The resin mined in different places differs slightly in chemical composition, so scientists have not yet developed a final formula for this substance. But there is a pattern: the inorganic part of a rare resin always prevails over the organic one.

During the study of mumiyo, sometimes fantastic versions arose. It was considered the dried seed of mountain goats, the saliva of petrels, the excrement of bats, and the evaporation of the earth's crust.

Among the latest theories of the origin of mumiyo, the version of the healer N.F. is of particular interest. Vorobyov. In the ancient Tibetan treatise “Jud-shi” he came across a mention of a certain “mummiferous mouse”. Vorobyov began to conduct observations and indeed discovered a very curious mouse in the areas of resin deposits - the haymaker. This herbivorous rodent harvests plants and spends the winter in a burrow. However, harsh living conditions led to the formation of a useful feature of the body. It turns out that the herbs eaten are not completely digested in the intestines. In case of prolonged frosts, the animal stores its droppings, putting them in dry places - rock crevices, caves. In early spring, when all the plant stems are empty, the animal begins to scavenge for hidden feces.

But treasures with droppings are not always in demand. In warm springs there is no need for them. Over the course of tens and hundreds of years, unused feces are saturated with microelements from rocks, are exposed to solar radiation, and are processed by microorganisms and fungi. As a result, a valuable medicine is formed - mumiyo, which no longer has anything in common with droppings. Many scientists have already confirmed Vorobyov’s theory.

Rock resin has been used in folk medicine for centuries to:

• accelerated healing of bones and skin;
• increasing immunity;
• normalization of mineral metabolism;
• restoration of the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines;
• improving blood flow;
• treatment of tuberculosis;
• slowing down the aging of the body;
• revival of reproductive function.

A unique drug helps well with ailments caused by a lack of minerals, because the healing gift of the mountains contains everything you need.

What is mummy made of?

Mumiyo is a substance of organic-mineral origin, which is mined in the mountains and has a peculiar smell and dark color. It is based on:

• rocks saturated with microelements;
• the soil;
• resins and essential oils;
• organic compounds;
• compressed plant particles.

Scientists have not come to a clear conclusion about how it is formed, but shilajit has long been considered part of alternative medicine methods and helps to overcome various skin diseases, including stretch marks. The advantage of this product is the almost complete absence of contraindications for use during pregnancy.

The beneficial properties of the product are due to the fact that it contains iron, calcium, other vitamins and beneficial amino acids.

Fact! With regular use, the cream makes the skin elastic, enriches it with vitamins and helps reduce stretch marks.

Release forms and doses

When purchasing, you should pay attention to the producing countries in which mumiyo is mined. These include: Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Iran, India, Afghanistan. The healing substance is available in a variety of forms:

• tubes;
• candlelight;
• tablets and capsules;
• plates and briquettes;
• powders;
• creams, ointments and gels;
• solutions.

Mumiyo is an officially recognized medicine; it is better to buy it in pharmacies.

Raw

Unrefined mumiyo in its natural form is occasionally found on sale. These are solid pieces of a frozen brown mass. The surface of the material can be either glossy, smooth, or matte, grainy. This resin contains microorganisms, rock and plant remains, and insoluble salts in varying concentrations. Due to the latter components, natural mumiyo is not recommended for long-term ingestion. Dolomite, quartzite and calcite will not benefit the body.

Experts distinguish between raw materials mined in different mountain systems.

1. Altai mumiyo is a powerful biological stimulant and a good antiseptic. When taken, blood circulation improves, liver and brain function are normalized. It is famous for its beneficial effects - it slows down aging.
2. Pamir and Tien Shan resin is the most expensive and valuable, containing more vitamins, amino acids, and microelements. This mumiyo is mined in the mountains, at high altitudes. It is with this that traditional healers of Central Asia treat and prevent many serious diseases.
3. Mumiyo, mined in Kyrgyzstan, is known for its rejuvenating and firming effect when applied externally. Resin from this area is used in anti-wrinkle products, creams for cellulite and stretch marks.
4. The Indian resin is called shilajit, which translates as “mountain conqueror.” It is widely used in Ayurveda (alternative Indian medicine) for physical and mental fatigue, after surgical operations for rapid tissue fusion. Indian yogis regularly consume shilajit, considering it to have a beneficial effect on the human spirit.

The most saturated resin with vitamins and amino acids is extracted from rocks high in the mountains. The higher the place of extraction, the higher the quality of mumiyo. Deposits of miracle resin are also found at the foot of the mountains. Mumiyo containing mud is mined here. However, the concentration of useful substances in mud is only 30%.

Refined product

Most often, mumiyo purified from excess impurities is sold, which at the same time retains all valuable mineral elements, vitamins, and amino acids. For example, in Russia, pharmacies offer the product Altai Gold, a black shiny viscous resin in tubes. The raw material is cleaned with water at a temperature not exceeding 39°C. At higher rates, mumiyo completely loses its healing properties, because the “living” organic part dies.

It is very important to be able to determine the authenticity of a precious medicine, because it is often counterfeited. Cunning businessmen sometimes sell fresh droppings of ordinary mice, passing them off as mumiyos. The naturalness of refined mountain resin is determined by a number of characteristics.

1. The color of the natural product is dark brown or black. Sometimes grayish spots appear on the surface.
2. If you put mumiyo in water, it will dissolve without sediment. The liquid will take on a rich dark brown color. The taste of the solution is bitter, without sweetness or acid.
3. Take a piece of resin in your palm and hold it. After some time, the real mumiyo will begin to melt and soften.
4. Dissolve 10 mg of mountain resin in 5 ml of water. Try to remember the color. Add a pinch of soda. The original solution will not change color.
5. Prepare the solution as in the previous recipe, but now add vinegar. The liquid should become lighter and a brown precipitate will form.
6. Try to dissolve the mumiyo in oil. If it didn’t work, that’s a good sign, the resin turned out to be real.
7. Try breaking a piece. The fracture of the original mumiyo has sharp edges.

Once you are convinced of its naturalness, smell the unique gift of nature and try to remember the smell in order to distinguish a fake in the future. Everyone picks up different aroma notes: bitter herbs, oil or even manure.

It is allowed to use mumiyo for stretch marks internally, following the doctor’s instructions and the instructions included with the drug. Typically, when treating skin lesions, mountain tar is taken within 30 minutes. before meals in the morning and 2 hours after dinner before going to bed for 3-4 weeks.

Tablets, capsules

Mumiyo in tablets is a dry extract of mountain resin with the addition of lactose in pressed form. In capsules - the same thing in powder form. This is the most convenient form of release for oral administration and preparation of creams. Typically, tablets are packaged in 0.2 g, capsules - 0.24 g. Both forms are suitable for the prevention and elimination of stretch marks, since the active ingredients are the same. The main thing is that the product is genuine. After dissolving in water, the forms are added to external products. Such preparations are easier to use because they do not require weighing - the dosage is indicated on the package.

Mountain resin in tablets and capsules, like other drugs containing this substance, are available without a prescription and are produced by the following companies:

• "Evalar";
• "Remak";
• "Narine";
• "Shin";
• "Ecoplus";
• "Biovit";
• "Dabur".

Plates, powder

Mountain resin in plates is available in dosages of 2 g and 5 g. Powders are sold to the public in 5 g, 10 g, 100 g and 250 g. These forms are inconvenient because without scales it is difficult to accurately measure the required dose. This is not dangerous for external means, but for oral administration it is better to purchase tablet forms and follow the exact doses. One tablet of mumiyo corresponds to:

• 1/4 plate weighing 2 g;
• 1/9 plate weighing 5 g;
• 1/4 teaspoon of powder.

Solution

The liquid is sold ready-made, but you can make it by dissolving capsules, tablets or a piece of whole resin in water, milk, cucumber or grape juice in a ratio of 1:20. Take orally for 3-4 weeks, then take a break for 10 days. If necessary, treatment is repeated. Externally, the solution is rubbed into the affected areas of the skin 1-2 times a day.

Scientists from Moscow State University have proven that mountain tar has antibiotic properties: it kills staphylococci and E. coli. The effect of the mountain's gift turned out to be stronger than penicillin.

Creams

Factory-made external products with mumiyo for stretch marks are also actively used, even if their purpose is different. Of the ready-made preparations, one of the most inexpensive is Sea Buckthorn cream-balm with mumiyo Forte from. The product is enriched with beeswax, hyaluronic acid, lanolin. However, store-bought creams contain a tiny amount of mumiyo, so to treat stretch marks it is worth making the product yourself by increasing the concentration of the resin.

• hemorrhoids, anal fissures;

Nature has been creating this remedy for thousands of years. It has been used for medicinal purposes since the time of Arab healers. The substance is still in great demand today.

Altai mumiyo is a piece of black shiny mass with a viscous structure. In addition, it is distinguished by a specific smell and bitter taste. It is these properties that confirm the naturalness of the Altai mumiyo.

It is often used in cosmetology. This type of mummy is especially effective for stretch marks. The substance easily penetrates the intercellular barrier and affects subcutaneous tissue. In addition, mumiyo is one of the first helpers for weight loss.

Mumiyo capsules for stretch marks

The drug, available in capsules, is easy to use. After all, the contents do not need to be crushed or crushed.

How to remove stretch marks using Mumiyo capsules? First, choose the recipe that suits you. We will look at the most effective means below.

Mumiyo in tablets for stretch marks

The tablets and capsules are based on a hygroscopic dry extract of mumiyo, combined with lactose.

Which mummy for stretch marks is more effective: tablets or briquettes? This dilemma plagues many women. Most of them are confident that only raw materials have healing properties.

The mummy briquette, like a sponge, absorbs many different components: rocks, microorganisms, plants, soil. These components are useless for the human body.

During the production of the extract, such components are removed by repeated extraction of the raw material. Insoluble salts are especially ruthlessly removed from it. We are talking about quartzite, dolomite, calcite, which are quite dangerous ballast in the human body.

It is best to use purified mumijo for stretch marks: in the form of tablets or capsules.

What is the power of mountain resin

Most reviews confirm the effectiveness of mumiyo for stretch marks. Old stretch marks, unfortunately, do not respond much to any cosmetic products. We can only make them less pronounced, but not remove them completely. Using healing resin you can achieve:

• skin cell renewal;
• reducing the size, straightening and fading of stretch marks;
• increasing the elasticity of the skin;
• saturating cells with useful substances.

Regeneration is the main therapeutic effect of mumiyo. It was for this quality that the “tears of the mountains” were valued by ancient healers. Thanks to mumiyo, any damage to the body is restored surprisingly quickly. Mountain resin vitamins accelerate the production of collagen, a protein responsible for the elasticity and strength of the skin.

External use of mumiyo is an excellent means of preventing stretch marks for:

• pregnancy;
• bodybuilding classes;
• weight gain;
• hormonal changes.

Bodybuilders, with a sharp increase in muscle mass, also need to prevent stretch marks with the help of mumiyo

Can it be used during pregnancy?

Mumiyo has many beneficial properties. It is taken orally as a medicine, externally in cosmetology, and medicinal drops, health baths and inhalations are also prepared on its basis.

Shilajit has no contraindications or side effects, does not contain toxic elements, and theoretically does not have a negative effect on the fetus. But in practice, the safety of internal use of mountain resin has not been proven, so you should not use it during pregnancy.

It is also not recommended to inhale with mumiyo.

When used externally, the situation is completely different. The components of mumiyo do not enter the blood. Creams and ointments based on it will help prevent the formation of stretch marks and relieve pain in the lower back. With regular external use of such cosmetics, the skin of the expectant mother will become more elastic and firm.

You should drip the solution with mumiyo into your nose with caution so as not to accidentally swallow the liquid. As for the ears and eyes, you can drip without restrictions.

Expectant mothers can fearlessly use mummy as an external medicinal and cosmetic product. But doctors do not recommend drinking it.

Recipes with mumiyo from stretch marks

A rare combination of biologically active substances and minerals turns mumiyo into a panacea if there are fresh stretch marks or the threat of their appearance. However, to achieve the effect, you need to observe some application features:

• dilute mumiyo with boiled water not hotter than 39°C to avoid destruction of useful substances;
• Before the procedure, clean the skin with soap or scrub;
• take a contrast shower, massaging problem areas with a washcloth or brush;
• use the product with mumiyo 1-2 times daily;
• keep the applied cream on the skin for 2–3 hours;
• Store the composition in the refrigerator for no longer than 1 month.

The most popular remedy for stretch marks contains only 3 cheap ingredients:

• water - 1 tsp;

• baby or other cream - 1 tbsp. l.

Preparation

1. Soak the resin in warm water in a glass container and wait until it dissolves.

Apply the cream in a circular motion to the skin damaged by stretch marks. This product eliminates young stretch marks within 5-6 months of use.

Cream with mumiyo is the best remedy for the treatment and prevention of stretch marks

Mumiyo stains on the skin can be easily removed with lemon juice or makeup remover. Laundry soap will help remove resin from clothes.

With oils

Only oils deliver mumiyo to the deepest layers of the skin. They have increased penetrating ability. But rock tar does not dissolve in oil. Therefore, to prepare the next remedy, take the mumiyo cream from the previous recipe and add 8-10 drops of one of the essential oils that help get rid of stretch marks:

• rosemary;
• orange;
• tangerine;
• lemon;
• lavender;
• neroli;
• incense;
• roses.

Oils in combination with mountain resin tone the skin and improve blood flow. As a result, stretch marks become less noticeable after 4–5 months of use. In addition to the therapeutic effect, esters neutralize the specific smell of mumiyo. The cream is applied daily at night, after hygiene procedures.

It has been noticed that lavender oil does not eliminate, but rather enhances, the unpleasant odor of mumiyo

Not only ethers are suitable for preventing and combating stretch marks. Many base vegetable oils are also effective:

• almond;
• sesame;
• wheat germ oil;
• peach;
• linen;
• jojoba;
• avocado;
• grape seeds.

Preparation

1. Dissolve in 1 tsp. warm water 2 tablets mumiyo.
2. Pour in the appropriate carrier oil and stir.

Use the product as before.

With honey

Various additives enhance the effect of mumiyo. For example, honey saturates cells with vitamins, accelerates skin renewal, and increases collagen production. To eliminate stretch marks, a cream is prepared from the following ingredients based on a beekeeping product:

• mountain resin - 2 g;
• honey - 3 tbsp. l.;
• jojoba or almond oil - 2 tbsp. l.

Preparation

1. Dissolve mumiyo in 1 tsp. water. Add honey.
2. After mixing, pour in the oil and mix again until smooth.

Apply the composition to the skin, rinse after 30–40 minutes. This product, when used daily for 3-6 months, makes stretch marks and cellulite less pronounced.

Honey in the cream acts as an emulsifier and a source of beneficial vitamins and amino acids that heal the skin.

Useful tips

Does mummy help with stretch marks? Yes, always, but the exact results depend on the individual characteristics of each organism - no one can predict them for you. As a rule, after a month of daily use, stretch marks either disappear completely or become almost invisible. To achieve maximum results:

1. Use mummy constantly - every day and preferably twice.
2. If the mixture seems too thin, use a smaller amount of Shilajit or a brand of cream.
3. To enhance the effect, you can apply the ointment using a roller massager. Any additional massage awakens the skin and triggers active regeneration processes. The only “but” is that during pregnancy it would be better to avoid massage in the abdominal area; it is enough to simply apply homemade ointment to problem areas.
4. Traces of dark mummy tablets may appear on things and underwear. Try to select items so that valuable dress blouses do not come into contact with the skin. You can remove mumiyo stains with simple yellow-brown laundry soap or a weak solution of lemon juice. After using the cream, you can rub your skin with a slice of lemon or treat it with makeup remover milk - this applies to your arms, stomach, and thighs.
5. Do not wash off the cream after application for at least 3-4 hours, preferably longer.
6. If red spots, irritation, or rash appear, it is better to stop using the product.

Otherwise, natural cream causes allergic reactions much less often than ready-made pharmaceutical and, especially, mass-market drugs.

You will have to pay for naturalness and cheapness in olfactory comfort, but, firstly, it is worth it, and secondly, you can get used to the smell.

Treatments for stretch marks

Improving blood circulation and nutrition in areas where stretch marks occur is the main goal of treatment and prevention of cosmetic effects. Increase blood flow:

• physical exercises that warm up the muscles of the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and chest;
• cold and hot shower;
• massage.

The last procedure is best done using a scrub or stretch mark cream, moving from the feet to the heart. The massage roller will enhance the beneficial effect of rubbing the skin.

Massage

Rubbing can be done twice, before and after a contrast shower, but with different means. Before the water procedure, massage your skin with a product made from the following ingredients:

• ground coffee - 1 tbsp. l.;
• mumiyo powder from capsules - 1 tsp. or 3-4 crushed tablets;
• any cream - 1 tsp.

Preparation

1. Dissolve mumiyo in 1 tsp. water, mix with cream.
2. Add ground coffee.

Vigorously rub problem areas with the resulting scrub for 5 minutes twice a week. Massage movements are circular, clockwise, in the direction from the legs to the heart. Leave the product on the body for another 5-10 minutes and rinse. Pour alternately hot and cold water over the area several times. In this way, the skin is prepared for further care, because the top layer of skin is exfoliated, blood flow increases and pores open. Then apply the anti-stretch mark product.

Coffee scrub can be made from drunk coffee

In some recipes, essential oils are added to the scrub described above. However, cosmetologists advise using oils only after a shower. Oils carry with them into the deep layers of the skin everything that is on the surface: dirt, fat, cosmetic residues. Therefore, it is better to apply them to already cleansed skin.

Wrap

An effective way to prevent and treat stretch marks is wrapping, a warming procedure. When it is carried out, the pores expand, the blood supply to the tissues increases, and the blood vessels dilate. Beneficial substances are actively absorbed and restore the skin. A wrap session includes several steps.

1. Apply a stretch mark remedy to well-cleansed skin.
2. Moving from bottom to top, do not wrap the treated areas with cling film too tightly.
3. If the composition is applied to the thighs and buttocks, wear old shorts to enhance the thermal effect. In other cases, it is enough to wrap yourself in a blanket.
4. Keep the mixture for 25–40 minutes, lie down and relax. Rinse thoroughly in the shower.

Creams and oils with mumiyo from the previous sections are suitable as a composition for wrapping.

The wrap can be done at home, in a salon or spa.

If stretch marks are accompanied by cellulite, a recipe with the following ingredients is recommended:

• acetylsalicylic acid - 2 tablets;
• mountain resin - 2 tablets;
• Boro plus ointment - 1 tsp.

Preparation

1. Dissolve mumiyo in water, grind and add aspirin.
2. Then combine with ointment.

The course of wraps consists of 10–12 sessions every 3 days.

Some healthy lifestyle enthusiasts advise moving vigorously during wrapping procedures, but this is a dangerous misconception. There is no benefit from this. But you can overheat, lose a lot of moisture (the skin under the film removes water, not fat during sweating) and, in the worst case, faint.

Reviews

Irma “Mummy for stretch marks is really a very effective remedy. I found several recipes on the Internet, I’ve been using them for more than six months, I’m happy with the results.”

Olga “No matter how hard I tried to prevent the appearance of stretch marks during pregnancy, a miracle did not happen. So not only did it not happen in principle, a lot of stretch marks appeared, wide, red and everywhere. When I saw it, I cried!!! My sister told me a recipe with mumiyo - and indeed, I’ve been using it for several months, and it’s not so scary anymore. I apply the cream to the abdomen, chest, thighs, legs, under the knees (nature did not spare me). Relatively small stretch marks are no longer visible at all; large ones have become at least not so purple and scary. I didn’t dare use mumiyo while breastfeeding, because I read that babies often refuse to breastfeed, but then I started. Cheap and helpful - I recommend it.”

Anna “Unfortunately, the cream with mumiyo did not help me, although I bought the plates at the pharmacy and used a neutral children’s cream. Itching, rash, redness - horror, eliminated the consequences of beauty for a week.”

Luda “I liked the product, but the smell. I myself have somehow gotten used to it, but my husband refused - he said that I smelled like a skunk, and the aroma remained on the bed linen. We'll have to look for something else."

Maria “An effective remedy - even my old stretch marks from adolescence became almost invisible, not like new birthmarks. I use the cream every day before going to bed, first actively rub the skin with a rough washcloth, and a couple of times a week I make a scrub of sugar, salt and oil.”

Yana “I’ve been making stretch mark cream with mumiyo for a long time. At first, after giving birth, I recovered with its help - no worse than a laser, I’ll tell you, but much cheaper, and not so painful. Now I use it as support a couple of times a week, and actively use it when losing weight so that new stretch marks do not appear.”

Using ointment during pregnancy and breastfeeding for stretch marks at home

The course of pregnancy has its own characteristics for each woman, so before using mumiyo, be sure to consult your doctor. Usually, expectant mothers are allowed to apply mumiyo externally 2-3 times a week for a month. But you need to be careful and think about the consequences.

1. When rubbing the cream, pregnant women should not put pressure on the stomach or chest. Massage using force is done on other problem areas: thighs, buttocks.
2. When breastfeeding, do not use mumiyo on your breasts. And if applied, wash your skin thoroughly with soap. It is dangerous for a baby to swallow such a concentrated substance.
3. Use products with mountain resin 2-3 times a week, but no longer than a month.

During pregnancy, it is better to use a gentle recipe with mumiyo. To prepare it you will need:

• sea ​​buckthorn oil - 1 des. l.;
• olive or other base oil - 1 ounce. l.;
• mumiyo - 2 g;
• warm water - 1 tsp.

Preparation

1. Soak rock resin in water. Combine the oils separately.
2. When the mumiyo dissolves, pour in the oil and stir.

Sea buckthorn, thanks to its healing components, is often used for the prevention and treatment of stretch marks in expectant and nursing mothers.

Having discovered stretch marks during pregnancy, urgently apply cream with mumiyo

When pregnant and breastfeeding, use products with essential oils with caution . When making creams, reduce the amount of esters by half, especially citrus ones. Due to the increased tone of the uterus, the following oils are prohibited during pregnancy:

• sage;
• chamomile;
• lavender;
• rosemary;
• jasmine;
• lavender;
• patchouli;
• cedar;
• juniper.

Claims that sea buckthorn or other vegetable oils dry out the skin are absurd. In any cream, the main moisturizing components are fatty acids contained in oils. Not water, but oils moisturize the skin from the outside. Life-giving moisture enters the cells from within the body.

Questions from readers

Women who first resort to using mountain resin in the fight against stretch marks often encounter many nuances.

To dispel the fears and doubts of beautiful young ladies, cosmetologists answered the most common questions.

Is it possible to remove old stretch marks with mumiyo?

A natural substance created by nature itself is endowed with the strongest regenerative properties. It starts the recovery process in the body. There are no analogues to this product. It doesn’t just mask stretch marks, the substance acts on the subcutaneous layers, restoring damaged cells and fibers.

• mint – provides skin relaxation;
• grape seed oil – will take care of moisturizing the epidermis;
• pink – disinfects and eliminates irritations;
• ylang-ylang ether – has been considered a natural aphrodisiac and an excellent antiseptic since ancient times.

Causes of stretch marks

Stretch marks look like white and pink scars and cause a lot of problems for beauties. They are not susceptible to ultraviolet rays and look like “white crows” on a tanned body.

Before you begin procedures to eliminate unsightly scars, it is necessary to establish the cause of their appearance, which can be completely different:

• pregnancy and lactation;
• rapid growth in adolescents;
• rapid weight gain and loss;
• hormonal imbalance;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• water balance disturbance;
• lack of vitamins and microelements;
• sedentary lifestyle, bad habits;
• heredity.

Stretch marks can also appear in athletes as a result of intense training, especially on the inside of the arms.

The scars first take on a pink tint, the skin on them is thinner compared to other areas of the body, and if left untreated, the stretch marks will fade and will be much more difficult to remove.

White scars are called “old”; they become this color after about a year and a half.

By their nature, stretch marks on the skin are microtraumas on the body. For various reasons, the skin cannot stretch, loses elasticity and is injured from the inside. The body itself tries to heal the tear, filling the injured area with connective tissue, which is externally different from other areas of the skin.

Mumiyo is a complex complex of substances, organic and mineral, which is of exclusively natural origin. This mixture has more than 90 components.

Approximate description of the biochemical composition of mumiyo:

• Amino acids - glycine, histidine, glutamic acid, threonine, phenylalanine, methionine, lysine, valine, arginine, isoleucine, tryptophan, aspartic acid and others.
• Fatty acids - petroselinic, linolenic, oleic, linoleic and others.
• Organic acids and phospholipids - adipic, benzoic, hippuric, succinic, oxalic, citric, lichen, tartaric, kojic and others.
• Provitamin carotene, as well as B vitamins, rutin, ascorbic acid, tocopherol, vitamin E.
• Resins, resin-like substances, various essential oils.
• Enzymes, flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, chlorophyll, coumarins, tannins, terpenoids.
• About 60 types of macro- and microelements, the list of which is headed by potassium, cobalt, calcium, phosphorus, iron, copper, silicon, chromium, aluminum, magnesium, manganese, zinc, sulfur, selenium, silver, sodium, nickel and many others.

The composition of mumiyo is variable.
This is justified by the existence of several varieties, for example, evaparite, coprolite mumiyo or mummy-bearing breccias. The existing classification is based on the territory of origin and appearance. In a general sense, mumiyo is a mixture of natural components in the form of pieces of various sizes and shapes, having a non-uniform density. Mountain resin is a solid mass, the surface of which is uneven or granular, matte or shiny.

The consistency of mumiyo can be fragile or hard-plastic. The color also varies: brown, dark brown, black. Sometimes pale gray spots are observed on the surface. All varieties are united by the presence of a specific smell and bitter taste.

Each company purifies natural material from unnecessary and possibly harmful impurities for the body using its own technology. The most acceptable method of cleaning mumiyo is using low temperatures, which allows you to preserve most of the useful components of the natural mixture.

To get rid of the specific smell of mumiyo, before the procedure, add a few drops of essential oil to the mixture, for example, mint, any citrus, rose, ylang-ylang or grape seed oil. However, there are substances that only enhance the aroma, these are lavender, bergamot and coffee oils.

Basic rules for using mumiyo

For those who decide to get rid of unsightly scars at home, the first thing you need to do is be patient. Visible results will appear only after a month’s course of treatment procedures.

To ensure that time and effort are not wasted, it is necessary to follow the recommendations of cosmetologists on the use of cosmetics based on mumiyo:

• procedures must be taken regularly twice a day (morning and evening) for one to two months;
• to prepare a mask or cream, you need to use only natural and fresh products, purchase mumiyo only from trusted sellers or at a pharmacy;
• When buying a drug in factory packaging, you must pay attention to the expiration date; it is advisable to take mumiyo with a short expiration date. The longer a natural product is stored, the lower its effectiveness, since during industrial processing, preservation and storage, the resin loses most of its healing properties;
• It is advisable to crush mumiyo in tablets into powder for more complete and rapid dissolution of the drug in water;
• Try to prepare a cosmetic product for stretch marks only in a volume designed for one procedure. It is not recommended to use the home remedy again, since the prepared composition for future use will not bring the desired result (under the influence of air, the mummy loses some of its beneficial properties);
• Store the remaining healing mixtures in a dark glass container in the refrigerator, but no more than 2-3 days;
• Use ceramic or glass dishes to prepare masks and creams.

It is not difficult to follow all these simple rules; of course, it will require both time and effort, but the result will be definitely positive.
