Stone oil (brashun) has been used in folk medicine for several hundred years, but until now, the substance causes controversy around itself about the appropriateness of use, benefits and possible harm. Information about the healing properties of brashun, as well as the mysterious mineral itself, came to us from Asian countries, where the extraction of “white mountain gold” and its implementation occupy a significant part of the pharmaceutical turnover.
What is stone oil
Saturated with mineral compounds, groundwater from time to time brings to the surface of rock formations a substance that is vaguely similar to old lime, which accumulates on stones in the form of plaque. This unsightly formation emerging in the mountain crevices is the same stone oil, invaluable in terms of useful properties. Reviews about it are contradictory, there are negative ones among them, but the fact remains: the complex, hazardous extraction of the substance does not stop even for a minute, and this already says a lot.
Having discovered the deposits of brashun, the plaque is carefully scraped off the stone, and then subjected to cleaning and drying. In its pure form, “white mummy” is sold literally in grams, and this is rarely a homogeneous substance of powder consistency - most often in customer reviews of stone oil, a large, unequal fraction of crumb of a slightly yellowish color appears.
If you taste such a crumb, then the piercing-sour bouquet will remain on the tongue. It will be possible to dissolve the granules only in water - the substance does not dissolve in either oil or alcohol solutions.
Brashun composition
More than 50 elements from the periodic table have been named, which stone oil includes regardless of the type of rock on which it was collected. About 20 more elements in the composition of the substance are unstable and their presence is associated with the characteristics of the mineral rocks that form the deposit.
The most valuable micro and macro elements contained in brashun in large quantities are:
- sodium;
- phosphorus;
- calcium;
- iron;
- cobalt;
- zinc;
- sulfur;
- potassium;
- selenium;
- iodine;
- molybdenum;
- chlorine;
- copper;
- manganese;
- fluorine.
Permanent chemical elements of a biogenic nature in the composition of a substance are invariably:
- carbon;
- hydrogen;
- nitrogen;
- oxygen.
Alma-Ata scientists, the first in the world to decompose the composition of brashun into chemical elements, also confirmed the presence of gold, silver and platinum in the nondescript mountain substance. Even an insignificant content of these metals added artificially significantly increases the value of many medical products, so it is difficult to overestimate the benefits of a natural substance, which includes precious metals by default.
The healing properties of stone oil and reviews
A person who is weakened, working in difficult physical or temperature conditions, who is subjected to constant stress or who has suffered a serious illness, is recommended to drink a solution of stone oil for the purpose of general healing and prevention of diseases. The use of stone oil, according to homeopaths and experts in alternative medicine, helps to increase human vitality, increase the body's resistance to stress and disease, and improve metabolic processes.
A full course of standard maintenance therapy with brachun will help in overcoming the following diseases:
- stagnation of bile and a tendency to form calculi in the gallbladder and ducts;
- gastrointestinal diseases: gastric ulcer, gastritis, enterocolitis, pancreatitis, as well as dysbiosis and constipation;
- diseases of the urinary apparatus: urethritis, cystitis, nephrosis, stones in the bladder;
- skin lesions resulting from diseases or injuries: acne, psoriasis, dry and wet eczema, furunculosis, diabetic destruction of the skin;
- articular pathologies: arthritis and arthrosis, osteochondrosis;
- heart and vascular diseases: vasculitis, myocarditis, heart attack, varicose veins, hypertension, stroke, jumps in blood pressure;
- CNS hyper-excitability, decreased activity of neurotransmitters;
- diseases of the pulmonary system: chronic bronchitis, asthma, tuberculosis of open and closed forms, pneumonia;
- violation of the functions of the female and male reproductive systems, decreased libido and sexual capabilities;
- diseases of the teeth and gums;
- visual impairment;
- viral and infectious diseases of ENT organs;
- diabetes mellitus and complications associated with its development: obesity, bone deformation, skin lesions.
A separate line should highlight the benefits of stone oil in oncology. Reviews of the overwhelming number of cancer patients, including with the permission of doctors, this substance in the scheme of supportive treatment, indicate a significant relief of the condition. Patients taking brashun soon return to normal after chemotherapy and need less medical support than those who are not familiar with a valuable substance.
Stone oil in cosmetology
Reviews of stone oil by cosmetologists relate mainly to anti-aging procedures. A composition rich in minerals affects the production of fibrillar protein (otherwise - collagen) in the deep layers of the dermis, where ordinary caring creams are not able to penetrate due to the low activity of the leading elements and the high density of the structure of the substance.
The antioxidants that make up the “working” basis of the scabbard solution stimulate protein synthesis in the connective fibers, due to which the collagen frame is strengthened and, as a result, the skin is smoothed out and the face contour is visually outlined. To achieve a lasting effect, you need to add to the habit of washing before going to bed with cool boiled water, to which a small amount of brashun is added (two liters of water - half a teaspoon of dry matter). After the procedure, the face should be allowed to dry on its own.
The unused solution remaining after washing can be stored for several more days. Compresses with useful water relieve puffiness, moisturize overdried skin, and tone up.
Facial mask with brashun
Before applying the mask, the face should be cleaned of dirt by preparing a scrub of 3 tbsp. spoons of bran (any that are available) and a pinch of stone oil, ground to a fraction of no larger than 1 mm. The dry mixture is mixed, part of it is transferred to wet palms. It is necessary to distribute the scrub over the face washed slightly from cosmetics, slowly massaging the skin in circular motions from the bottom up. After a minute or two, the abrasive mass is washed off with warm water, and you can immediately proceed to applying the mask.
A teaspoon of a simple infusion of brashun is introduced into a chilled egg white, whipped to a steep foam, mixed and distributed with a brush over the face and neck. The composition must be kept on the skin until the protein begins to “set” on the film. Then the mask should be washed off and wiped with alcohol-free lotion or mineral water.
Hair treatment
Collagen restoration is necessary not only for the face - hair also needs natural elastins. The principle of action of stone oil on the scalp is no different from the effect it exerts on the skin of the face - the collagen fibers of the deep layer of the dermis are stimulated, where the follicles are located. Due to increased blood circulation and accelerated cellular metabolism, follicles are activated and hair begins to grow faster.
Judging by the reviews of stone oil, the appearance of the hair itself is also improving - it is smoothed along the entire length, a shine appears. After three months of continuous use of brashun, the hair becomes much thicker. It is noticed that new hairs grow stronger and more docile.
Hair mask with stone oil
An aqueous solution of stone oil can be used not only as a rinse after washing your hair (the recipe for the solution is the same as for washing), but also as part of complex masks like the following:
- completely dissolve half a teaspoon of dry matter in 50 ml of boiled chilled water;
- add a handful of oat bran to the liquid and mix in the raw yolk of the chicken egg;
- distribute the mass over the scalp and massage it with intense movements;
- distribute the remainder of the mask along the length of the hair, then put on a plastic cap on the head;
- after an hour, the composition is washed off with a large volume of running water.
“Reinforced” shampoos and hair balms have a good effect. To make such a detergent, you need to pour ¾ cup of neutral shampoo into a separate glass jar and thoroughly shake a quarter teaspoon of brashun in it. Shampooing is carried out in the same way as regular shampoo. A mixture of stone oil and hair conditioner is also prepared in the same way, with the difference that the balm can be kept on your head like a mask for up to 10 minutes.
How to take stone oil
According to doctors, a test for tolerance of the product by the body should be preceded by stone oil treatment. In general, a brashun almost never causes negative reactions on the part of health, but its composition is so rich in chemical elements that it is impossible to predict in advance which one a person may have an allergy to.
The test is carried out on the first day of taking the medicine. To do this, half a single portion of the prepared solution, adjusted to the desired volume with simple boiled water and drunk, as expected according to the treatment regimen.
The traditional treatment and prophylactic solution of brashun is a two-day infusion of half a teaspoon of dry matter and 3 liters of water. 48 hours after diluting the powder in water, the infusion is carefully poured into another clean jar, making sure that the precipitate does not mix with the transparent part of the liquid. It is better not to throw out the muddy suspension from the bottom of the dishes - it is useful for compresses for acne, cuts, bruises or just as an additive for a cosmetic mask.
A ready-made infusion, like a sedimentary mixture, can be stored for up to two weeks, at a temperature not exceeding 25 ° C. Since the mineral composition can affect the acidity of the digestive tract and blood coagulation, a clinical analysis must be taken several times before treatment and throughout its duration. blood and urine.
It is forbidden during the course of taking the drug to drink antibiotics, to consume alcoholic beverages and food products that exacerbate the disease against which treatment has been started.
Stone Oil Cleaning
Before selling, manufacturers perform a minimum cleaning treatment of dry matter. However, one can often hear negative reviews about stone oil, with complaints of just the increased “trash” of the acquired brashun. In this way, unscrupulous sellers add the weight of an expensive powder, sometimes increasing the contents of the bottle up to one and a half times.
You can clean the substance and make it suitable for use at home. To do this, pour all the existing brashun into the water and completely dissolve the grains. One liter of liquid will be enough for 50 g of powder.
After approximately 12-14 hours, the stone oil needs to be separated from the garbage. Filter the solution through a sieve or 4 layers of gauze, being careful not to agitate the precipitate. The filtered liquid is poured into a flat tray or onto a clean baking sheet and exposed to the sun for natural evaporation.
Of course, with this method of home filtration, the yield of a product suitable for use will be small, but this is better than simply throwing out poor-quality raw materials. In addition, well-refined stone oil can be stored for as long as needed.
Contraindications
If you carefully study the statistics of consumer attitudes towards brashun, approximately 10% of all comments will make negative reviews. The healing properties of stone oil and the effectiveness of its use, unfortunately, have different effects on the human body.
In order not to replenish the list of disappointed consumers, it should be remembered that the mineral substance is contraindicated:
- during pregnancy and lactation;
- children under 7 years old;
- people suffering from acute infectious diseases;
- patients with calculus in the gall or bladder and ducts;
- with cardiovascular diseases in the acute stage;
- with poor blood coagulation.
It is not recommended to use the substance even in small doses to people taking steroids and antibiotics. Undergoing hormone therapy before using brashun, you need to consult a doctor.
Responses of doctors about stone oil
To this day, the uniqueness of the composition of the brashun is questioned by pharmacists. Doctors' comments on the healing properties of stone oil indicate a cautious and wait-and-see attitude of specialists towards a substance not registered in official registers. Few doctors who carry out professional activities in public institutions may openly advise taking the “white mummy” as an adjunctive therapy.
Nevertheless, it is almost impossible to hear negative reviews about stone oil by doctors. Many experts, especially in the field of oncology and traumatology, recognize the fact that patients who independently decided to support the main therapy with drinking brashun solution or applying it superficially achieved the best therapeutic result. It is important to understand that not a single remedy of traditional medicine should be taken uncontrollably and perceived as an alternative to the traditional course of treatment.
