What is Mumijo? 

Mumijo (pronounced: moo-mee-o) is a natural dark mineral substance found in rock crevices at altitudes of 2,000 - 5,000 meters, high in mountainous regions of Asia. For centuries, Mumijo has been known to possess an array of uses related to health and longevity. Specifically, Mumijo shows benefits to both the human metabolic and immune systems. 

Mumijo is a mysterious substance and there has been much debate as to its exact origins. Some believe that the substance may actually be a concentration of fossilized honey, beeswax and bees nests that have been percolating for thousands of years.

Whatever it's exact origin, there is no denying its great medical properties. Rich in silica, rare amino acids, valuable minerals and fatty acids, the "Blood of the Mountains" or "Tears of the Rocks," as it has been called in its native land, has for centuries been regarded as a National Treasure in Russia.  Mumijo was so valuable to the people of that region, its export was once illegal and it remained one of the area's greatest secrets.

Today, Mumijo is still regarded as one of Russia's greatest weapons against disease and it is official licensed for use in that country. However, it has yet to become widely accepted in Western Medicine.
