How to apply mummy from stretch marks: we prepare a cream and practice wraps

Doctors of the Caucasus and Central Asian countries actively use the mummy for therapeutic purposes. The medicinal power of this product is time-tested: even Aristotle used the substance to save patients from various ailments. But will the remedy, which in the East is called the elixir of life, help combat stretch marks?

What are striae, and why do they appear

Stretch marks, or scientifically - striae, are formed as a result of rupture of skin fibers - collagen and elastin. When such damage occurs, the body, without thinking about the aesthetic feelings of its owner, “repairs” the injury by “stitching” the fibers with connective tissue. As a result, stripes with uneven edges appear on the body - atrophic scars. They do not cause pain, but they cause anxiety about the appearance of the skin, which has lost its former smoothness and elasticity.

Stretch marks result from:

• long stretch of the epidermis - when the skin "does not have time" to adapt to the rapid changes in body volumes;
• hormonal changes in the body - due to which there is a violation of the synthesis of collagen and elastin.

Most often, striae are formed:

• during pregnancy and lactation - on the chest, stomach;
• when gaining weight or with sudden weight loss - on the abdomen, hips, buttocks, other areas of fat deposits;
• in athletes with a rapid increase in muscle mass - on the chest, shoulder girdle, inner surface of the hands, hips;
• during active teenage growth - in the lumbar region, as well as on the hips and chest of girls;
• in diseases associated with metabolic disorders - Itsenko-Cushing's syndrome, adrenal hyperplasia, Marfan syndrome.

Description and useful properties of the substance

Proponents of alternative medicine, the mummy is positioned as a product unique in its healing properties. Mountain resin (or mountain balsam) - that’s what they often call a mummy, and it’s no coincidence: the substance is extracted exclusively in high mountain regions. The healing substance has the appearance of a thick, resinous mass, endowed with a rather sharp, unpleasant odor.

The formation of the mummy is still shrouded in mystery. It is only known that it takes several hundred years for a substance to appear during the interaction of soil, rocks, animals, plants and microorganisms.

Unique composition

Information on the composition of the product is also ambiguous: the components contained in the mummy may vary depending on the place of its extraction.It is officially believed that the substance contains more than 85 minerals valuable to the body (including magnesium, iron, manganese, gold, copper, silver), eight amino acids, as well as a certain substance endowed with penicillin properties.

Skin value

The unique composition of the product provides its beneficial effect on the skin. Regular use of mountain resin:

• stimulates regeneration;
• activates blood microcirculation;
• saturates the epidermis with useful substances, increasing its firmness and elasticity;
• moisturizes.

Does the mummy help with stretch marks? Thanks to the healing properties, the organo-mineral substance really allows you to make chronic striae less noticeable. Also, the substance can be used as a means of prevention to prevent their occurrence.

Choosing a quality product: how not to buy a fake

Thinking about how to use mummy from stretch marks, you should first take care of buying a quality product. During the reign of the Persian king Faridun, the quality of mountain resin was tested empirically. When treating fractures in small animals with a mixture of genuine mummy and rose water, the bones fused in about a day. These days, this method is not relevant, but there are three important points that should be considered.

1. Release form. The easiest way to buy the product is in the form of tablets, capsules or powder, however, these preparations contain only mountain balsam extract. It is best to purchase the mummy in its purest form. True, it is more difficult to find such a resin, but you can use the services of trusted online stores.
2. Appearance. A quality product is bitter in taste, has a smooth, shiny surface. If you crush a piece of rock resin with your fingers a little, it will become supple and soft.
3. Solubility in water. A quality product is completely soluble in water.

The use of mummies is most effective for the prevention of stretch marks, so it is better to start using the product when they are likely to form (for example, in the first months of pregnancy or during weight loss). You can increase the effectiveness of home remedies with mummy by following four simple rules.

2. Use additional methods. The process of getting rid of stretch marks will be accelerated if, in addition to means with mummy, other methods are used.

The mummy will not completely remove the stretch marks, but it will definitely make them less visible. I found a recipe for making a mummy and used a cream on my hips where stretch marks appeared after childbirth. I bought a mummy at the pharmacy, spread it at 1h. l water, waited until the mummy dissolves and added there 1 tbsp. l baby cream. Thoroughly mixed and applied to places with stretch marks and carefully massaged. I did the procedure every day. The effect was noticed after 5 treatments, and cellulite also decreased.

... Many lazy people came up with inventions to make their life easier. Over time, I realized that it annoyingly annoys me to wash the dishes every time after soaking the tablets in the cream. The solution is simple - we spread the stretch marks with lotion, take the mummy tablet and drive it through the lotion to the desired concentrate, spread it, rub it. Everything!

The main thing after childbirth is to immediately begin to fight with stretch marks, girls, I smeared the mummy stretch marks, it certainly smells sharply and not very nice, but the effect is excellent! To partially neutralize the unpleasant odor, you can add a few drops of essential citrus oil.
