It is most often produced in tablets, sometimes found in the form of capsules or plates. The healing power of this remedy and its effect on the body have been well known for more than three thousand years. Moreover, the areas of application of mumiyo are so diverse that one can only wonder how such a wonderful healing "elixir" remained in the shadows for so long. However, it is only for us that it is little known, but in Eastern medicine, treatment with mumiyo occupies a special place. This is traced in ancient records and medical treatises of Asia, Mongolia, Tibet and India.

The fact is that a high-quality cream for stretch marks with shilajit has a very short shelf life. And if it often comes into contact with air and skin (for example, if the cream is not packaged in a tube, but in a jar with a wide neck), then its “life” is reduced to a week! Therefore, do not expect positive changes when buying a cosmetic product with shilajit, the shelf life of which is a year. Most likely, you wasted your money. Next time, you can save a lot and prepare a cream with shilajit yourself at home. Then the treatment will certainly bring results.
