Mummy for hair. Properties and application in cosmetology, how to add to shampoo. Reviews of trichologists and dermatologists

Mumiyo is a fairly new product on the market. They talk about it more, but rarely use it. But in vain, because it is very useful for hair, skin and internal organs of a person. The area of ​​application is extensive - from the cosmetic industry to traditional medicine.

What is a mummy

Such an interesting name was given to this medicine about 4,000 years ago. In fact, mummy is a biological product that is actively used by adherents of alternative medicine... In appearance, the mummy resembles a viscous black heterogeneous mass (usually with small lumps, grains).

It contains particles of biological tissues of animals, remains of bones, traces of rocks, earth, plant remains. Shilajit is used in completely different areas of life: as a food additive, beauty product, medicine. The list goes on, because over 4 millennia, a person was clearly able to come up with more than three purposes for a mummy.

Chemical composition

Shilajit for hair, which can be used at home, has the following composition:

• amino acids;
• metal oxides (magnesium, potassium, aluminum);
• active trace elements and vitamins;
• resin (carbon and oxygen are released in its composition);
• essential oils of natural origin.

In some types of mummy (depending on the area in which it was mined and in what area) you can find:

• bee venom;
• organic traces (from the decomposition of animals, plants).

Beneficial features

Shilajit for hair, the use of which has been studied by domestic and foreign scientists, has such properties as:

1. Allows hair to grow faster several times. The speed depends on the structure of the hair (porous, curly, straight, thick, thin), as well as its condition (thinned, healthy).
2. Makes curls smoother. Shilajit influences their texture by "sealing" the scales.
3. Gives a noticeable shine. Hair always looks like a whole bottle of conditioner and nail polish has been poured on it (in a good way).
4. Has a tonic effect. Any hair needs external support. Mumiyo does an excellent job of being a rescuer.

Indications for use of mummy

General doctors, usually, are calm about the use of mummy. But traditional medicine experts literally advocate the use of this remedy. And there is nothing wrong with that.

Mumiyo really helps if:

• a person suffers from stomach diseases, ulcers, acute colitis or gastritis;
• there is a strong varicose veins, accompanied by pain and slow destruction of blood vessels;
• severe burns or deep wounds have been received and need to be healed as soon as possible;
• a person has chronic tonsillitis, asthma or otitis media;
• partners take care of the prevention of infertility and improving reproductive function;
• with pathologies in the female part (erosion of the vagina and uterus);
• a person suffers from different types of allergies.

In the case of talking about cosmetic problems (with skin, hair), the following indications arise for referring to the mummy:

• weakened, split ends that need urgent restoration;
• severe allergic reactions;
• rosacea;
• acute dermatitis;
• increased occurrence of acne.

What form of mummy is more effective for hair

There are the following types of hair mummy (they can be found in pharmacies or online stores):

1. Tablets. The easiest way to find a mummy is in this form. The only negative is a pungent smell.
2. Capsules. Unlike other forms, they have no smell, which is why they deserve the people's love.
3. Powder. In its manufacture, the resin is cleaned and dried, and then ground. Shilajit powder is often used as a food additive. Masks, hair balms and shampoos are also prepared from it.
4. Portion pieces of solid resin. The most "natural" option. This is approximately what a mummy looks like in nature. Only here is it processed and refined.
5. Resin. Similar to the previous form, only the consistency is more liquid.

Mumiyo in which of these forms is most effective for hair, it will not work. Indications for use here are strictly individual as well as preferences. The most affordable option is number 1. It is easier to make creamy masks from resin.

It is more convenient to add the powder to shampoos and balms, as well as dissolve in water to create rinses.

Reviews of experts

Trichologists note that the mummy has a positive effect on the entire body. This is not a pill for the head of a narrowly targeted action, but a powerful biological agent that fights at once with a complex of diseases.

Customer Reviews

Judging by the reviews that users post on the forums and in the comments under the product, there is still a positive effect. Hair condition can be noticeably improved in a month, and if you extend the period of admission, then you will achieve an increase in length. This remedy is especially good for treating dandruff and early hair loss.

The main disadvantage of such a drug is its smell. He is, to put it mildly, specific.

As it turned out, the use of mummy for hair leaves only a positive effect in most cases. This tool, although it has been known to the world for about 4,000 years, for some reason is still unpopular on the mass market. It is probably worth waiting at least another hundred years, and then the situation will change.
