The content of the article
The "mummy" is found in mountain crevices, and the quality of the raw material depends on the height at which it was collected - the higher, the cleaner the product. The best collected at an altitude of about 3500 m. The weakest composition is the "resin" from the foothills.
Composition and benefits
All descriptions of the Moomin are blurry and do not clearly answer the question - what kind of phenomenon is this? Closest to all, the essence and composition of a substance are reflected in its definition as an organic-mineral complex of natural origin. In the raw materials were found:
- bee venom;
- resins;
- essential oils;
- minerals (potassium, calcium, zinc, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, copper, cobalt, sodium);
- fatty acids (saturated and unsaturated);
- organic acids (amber, wine, lemon, benzoic);
- amino acids (glycine, arginine, histidine);
- albumin protein;
- vitamins (D, P, A, C, B);
- steroids;
- phospholipids;
- flavonoids;
- enzymes;
- tannins.
The list goes on for a long time. All this wealth can literally transform hair:
- the activity of the sebaceous glands is regulated;
- follicular nutrition improves;
- antimicrobial and antifungal effects are manifested;
- inflammation is neutralized;
- the condition of the scalp improves;
- the surface of the rod is leveled;
- new hair growth is stimulated;
- the cross section of the tips is prevented;
- roots and rods are strengthened;
- blood circulation improves.
All these “joys” do not occur at the same time, but over time, the curls acquire volume, strength, shine and elasticity, dandruff, itching, and oiliness normalize.
What form of hair mummy is more effective
The mummy is mined in Australia, and in South America, in India, Iran, Indonesia. But since the raw materials are collected in difficult conditions, and its reserves are small - the price of the product cannot be low. If you add here also the delivery, then the “overseas balm” completely loses competitiveness. The most affordable is the raw materials from the Altai mountains. It’s exactly in the vast majority of cases that we buy under the names: “Golden Mummy”, “Altai”, “Gorno-Altai”, etc. It can be purchased in four forms.
- One piece. After collection, the raw material is cleaned of impurities and sold in close to natural form - in pieces.
- Powder. The dried resin is ground and sold in powder form. It is convenient to dose the powder, mix with other substances, it quickly dissolves in water.
- Pills. Powder that undergoes additional processing, a kind of “refined” product, is pressed into tablets.
- Capsules. The same tablets, but in a different form of release. The substance has a strong specific odor that not all people can tolerate. Therefore, it is more convenient for them to use it in capsules.

Medical shampoo
In pharmacies, you can find therapeutic and prophylactic shampoos with mummy. But it’s cheaper to make such a shampoo yourself at home. Use a standard shampoo as a base. And if sensitive skin - it is better to find a mild shampoo with a minimal and gentle composition.
To use the mummy for hair effectively and economically in time, ten tablets per 200 ml of the product are added to the shampoo raw materials. The substance can be thinned and poured into a container with shampoo, or you can pre-dissolve it in a small amount of water. Then wash your hair with this mixture, but keep the composition on the hair longer than usual - two to three minutes.
On the Internet there are both positive and negative reviews of trichologists about hair mummies. A negative reaction is most often associated with the wrong dosage of the substance in the recipes or with the fact that the user initially has a very dry hair type, and the remedy makes such hair even more dry and stiff. In order not to be disappointed with the result, before applying, analyze the condition of your hair and follow the instructions exactly.
Reviews: “Terribly dry skin”
At one time I got hooked on the mummy, it turns out that the normal is quite difficult to get. I tried to make masks with him both for hair and for the face, there was one conclusion - it perfectly removes inflammation, but it dries the skin terribly. Maybe I did something wrong ... I tried to get rid of oily scalp and dandruff with him, but alas, it did not help. Fat content is gone, but there is no dandruff (Naftaderm only managed to get rid of it, the shampoo is so healing, also, by the way, natural - based on Naftalan oil. But one thing I can say for sure about the mummy - if a pimple appeared on the face - it can be lubricated with mummy, it will pass in the morning) the smell is true ... not everyone can tolerate it so much)

After childbirth, the condition of my hair worsened, they became dull, brittle, and began to fall out. I tried various traditional medicine, but nothing helped. Then, on the advice of a friend, she began to add mummy to hair shampoo and the result was not long in coming. Hair shone, became thicker, and much less fall out. So the mummy helped me a lot :).

Hello! I searched the Internet for a long time for the growth and density of hair and mummy the best that helped me, but I tried a lot of things! Since childhood, my hair is already rare, weak, and plus it still grows poorly, and after I dyed my hair blond, the problem became even more serious ... growth stopped altogether. I decided to tackle this issue firmly and at the same time I did and drank masks inside. She made masks different with an egg, and with oils and honey. So, here's the result! It’s a pity you can’t take photos before and after. For half a year of receiving hair grew by 8 centimeters !!! Maybe for some people this result is not so hot, but for me a real victory + hair became soft, silky and more alive. It even seems to me that they have added in volume. Therefore, be sure to try!

I’ve been using mumiyo for hair for about a month to accelerate its growth and improve blood circulation, and I can say that the result is indeed very good, from hair loss, by the way, mumiyo also helps, it’s good, the only thing is, I don’t rinse the mummy’s hair , and add it to the shampoo.

I did not like. Still worth it. Either to throw now, or somehow to wash their heads. I also read it somewhere, I mixed this mummy two months ago into my Friderm tar medical shampoo. Which still has a price of 600 with something. And the hair after it is dry. I was enough for three times washing. I didn’t like it at all.
