What is a mummy and what is its use for hair? Its true origin is not scientifically proven today, there are theories about its origin from amber resin. This is an ancient natural product that is actively used in cosmetology and in medicine. Previously, it was widely known as the Indian cure for all diseases.
Composition and beneficial properties of mummies
Mummies are mined from grottoes of caves and rocks, and mining and processing companies are engaged in mining. Externally, the mummy is very reminiscent of a dark resin and has a similar structure, but the smell has a significant difference. This is a mixture of chocolate, bitumen and resin. Its chemical composition includes:
- Fatty, organic and inorganic amino acids;
- Minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium, manganese, etc.);
- Vitamins of groups A and B;
- Essential oils.
Its rich healing composition includes a lot of elements that help with various problems. With its help, they lose weight, remove scars and scars, relieve inflammation, etc.
The main advantage of the mummy is the renewal of the body's regeneration functions.
Mummy has a number of different effects on the human body:
- Anti-inflammatory (relieves various irritations);
- Wound healing (with its help hide and / or completely remove wounds, scars, stretch marks);
- Antibacterial (helps to remove dandruff, other fungal diseases);
- Restorative (affects the regenerative functions, restores damaged structures).
Thanks to these therapeutic effects, the mummy is widely applicable in trichology, where it is called the “magic / golden remedy”.
An incredible effect in the treatment and healing of human hair was noted, as an addition to shampoo, masks, etc. Mumiye is suitable for men and women. But do not overestimate its healing qualities. We recommend a course of treatment and prevention necessarily under the supervision of specialists.
As a remedy for hair, it is used in the following cases:
- For growth and density (strengthening effect, helps to quickly grow a chic hair, if they grow poorly);
