The composition of the mummy is inconsistent. This is justified by the existence of several varieties, for example, evaparite, coprolite mummy or mummy breccias. The existing classification is based on the territory of origin and appearance.
In a general sense, mummy is a mixture of natural components in the form of pieces of various sizes and shapes that have a heterogeneous density. Mountain resin is a solid mass, the surface of which is uneven or grainy, matte or shiny.
The consistency of the mummy can be fragile or stiff. The color can also be different: brown, dark brown, black. Sometimes there are pale gray spots on the surface. All varieties are united by the presence of a specific smell and a bitter taste.

The most acceptable is the method of cleaning the mummy 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 mummy, before the procedure, add a few drops of essential oil to the mixture, for example, peppermint, 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.

Features of the use of mummy for stretch marks
Shilajit is actively used in the field of cosmetology to combat skin problems: acne, allergic reactions, stretch marks, etc. Let us consider in more detail the reasons for the formation of stretch marks, the mechanism of action of the mummy on these defects and options for its use.
Shilajit as a remedy for stretch marks on the skin
During pregnancy, the female body is attacked by hormones that cause some changes in many body systems. In particular, a change in the hormonal background sometimes leads to disorders in the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which contributes to the thinning of the skin, a decrease in its elasticity, followed by atrophy, which manifests itself in the appearance of stretch marks.
However, the problem of stretch marks is not unique to women during pregnancy. Similar processes of violation of protein synthesis can occur even in men. Sometimes the appearance of stretch marks is associated with a sharp change in weight, i.e. an increase in body weight or a decrease in it.
Over time, the stretch marks change slightly, this is noticeable by the change in their color. Fighting them is a rather laborious process. In some particularly difficult cases, stretch marks are removed using plastic surgery. However, it is better not to bring the situation to a surgical intervention. The mummy will help with this.
Getting rid of cutaneous atrophy with the help of mummy occurs due to the following processes that this natural mixture provides:
- Enrichment of the skin with vitamins, minerals;
- Restoration of damaged cells;
- Stimulation of protein synthesis (collagen, elastin).
The processed material is sold in various forms: tablets, powders, capsules, ready-made creams and infusions with the addition of mumiyo, in natural form.
Use of mummy for stretch marks in tablets
A common version of the form of release of the mummy are tablets. Their shelf life significantly exceeds the shelf life of creams with mountain resin, which, moreover, are much more expensive. The advantage of tablets comes from packaging. Each tablet is packaged separately in compliance with the tightness. It is known that shilajit can lose some of its properties when exposed to air.
The disadvantage of this form of packaging is how the mummy is processed to form tablets. The easiest way is to dissolve and further heat the natural material. An increase in the temperature of mountain resin above 40 degrees is fraught with the loss of many beneficial properties.
Shilajit tablets are usually taken orally according to the scheme: 2 tablets per day for at least one month. However, external use is also possible, for example, to get rid of stretch marks. To do this, the tablet is thoroughly ground in a ceramic or glass container, then added to skin care products.
One tablet of mummy contains 200 mg of nutrients. Depending on the manufacturer, the package contains from 10 to 60 tablets. The lower price threshold is 50 rubles per package. For example, a package of the Altai mummy "Balsam of the Mountains", consisting of 10 tablets of 200 mg each, costs 50 rubles, and a package of the same drug, containing 30 tablets, costs 80 rubles.
Since mummy in tablets is not included in the register of medicines, this natural material is, to a greater extent, related to biologically active additives.
Ways to use mummy for stretch marks
The use of mummy for the treatment of skin defects can be both local and oral. Taking the mummy through the mouth, the components of the substance enter the bloodstream and are carried throughout the body. The effect in this case is complex.
It is better to treat stretch marks with a local effect, with this method the maximum possible supply of the necessary substances to the affected skin areas is ensured. In addition, if a person has an individual intolerance to any component, then external use reduces the likelihood of an allergic reaction.
Let's describe some recipes for creating mummy-based stretch marks:
- Ointment with mummy … The composition includes the following ingredients: mummy (4 g), water (1 tablespoon), anhydrous lanolin (35 g), medical petroleum jelly (90-100 g). First of all, sterilize all components, except for the mummy, at a temperature of 180 to 200 degrees, as well as tools for preparing the ointment. Heat the mummy using a water bath at a low temperature - up to +30 degrees. Next, dilute the mummy with water and combine this mixture with lanolin and petroleum jelly. Stir until smooth. Such an ointment must be stored in a dark place at temperatures up to +20 degrees.
- Water-based solution with mummy … To prepare it, simply dissolve 1 g of mummy in 2 tablespoons of warm water. Use this 2% solution at the beginning of the course, then reduce the amount of water to 1 tbsp. l. Do not store the prepared solution for more than a day.
- Scrub with mummy … Take 1 tablespoon of ground coffee, mix it with any shower gel and add mummy. Apply this scrub to problem areas every day for at least 1 month.
- Mummy mask … Crush 3-4 tablets of mummy and mix with 1 tbsp. l. bee honey. Apply the mask in a thick layer for 25-30 minutes. The treated areas should be wrapped with plastic wrap to enhance the reaction. Then rinse with warm water.
