History of Mumijo

History of Mumijo 

Literature outlining Eastern medicine found at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy for Science of the Uzbek Republic, The departments of religious studies for Central Asia and Kazakhstan and major libraries of Moscow, Dushanbe and Baku all attest to the fact that Mumijo has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries throughout Central Asia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, India, China and other eastern countries. 

Eastern medical professionals still regard Mumijo as a universal remedy for an array of illnesses with particular effectiveness in treating bone fractures.

Although the exact origins of Mumijo are unclear, its use was being mentioned in poetry and literary works. Here are some examples:

"As long as humans are not in emergency,

He does not learn his friend to estimate,

But the broken bone of humans         

Mumijo will always appreciate."

                                                            - The Arab poet, Muhammad Hussein, 1862.

"If you want to reach Deins,

Break you,

Mumijo saves you."

                                                - Arab Poet, Mirza Muhammad Ali Mirza Hussein Ogly.

"Extraordinary humans of India,

Posses a means the dear diseases to heal.

This cure - black Mumijo."

                                                            - Indian Poet, Muhammad Salich.

Perhaps the earliest references to Mumijo come from Al-Imam al Azam Abu Hanifah Muhammad (699-767), regarded as one of the most important Islamic scholars of his time. The followers of Abu Hanifa gave him the title "Imaam al-Aadham" which means "greatest of the Imaams."

In his writing, Abu Hanifa reported that bees cement their honey with wax and cover this with a black material. Abu Hanifa noted that this black material, known as Mumijo, was one of the most effective means against bruises and injuries.

After Abu Hanifa's initial writings about the power of Mumijo, others followed and all agreed that the substance gives strength to the entire body, particularly the heart; normalizes organ function; strengthens sexual organs; opens blockages; destroys congestions; heals paralyses; alleviates cramps; heals stomach illnesses, blood problems and ulcers; expedites bone healing and much more.

The 18th century English Physician Robert James included Mumijo into his Pharmakopoee and described it as black, shining, resin-like means with bitter taste and pleasant smell. 

Researchers in many countries, but particularly in Russia, have paid increasing attention to the clinical study of Mumijo and its effects on various pathological processes. The Russians have established that Mumijo contains zoo-melanic acids, essential humic acid and quantities of micronutrient minerals in balance with the physiological processes in the human body.
