From Siberia With Health

Pine nut oil is popular all over the world, especially among people who take care of their health. However, the main place for harvesting pine nuts is the vast Siberian taiga.

Most of the pine woodlands are located on the rocky placers of Eastern Siberia, and mountainous regions of Southern Siberia. In these regions, the harvest of pine nuts is an important business for locals; since the seeds of Siberian pine are a valuable product with unique healing properties.

How are pine cones harvested in Siberia?

Harvesting nuts is a time-consuming and multi-stage process. Therefore, several people participate in the cone gathering. Straying into teams, local people go to the forest for weeks. Pine nut harvesters set up a camp or build temporary housing in a remote forest to arrange a place for storing, peeling, and sifting the collected pine cones.

Collecting shilajit is a hardworking process since the deposits of this natural product are located high in mountainous areas. But the extraction of raw shilajit is only the first stage on the way to obtaining a finished remedy.

To obtain a pharmacological balm, it is necessary to properly purify the natural substance. The preservation of the healing properties of the shilajit depends on how accurately the cleaning technology is maintained. Improper purification reduces all the beneficial properties of the shilajit to zero.

In its natural form, shilajit is a raw material from which a biologically active substance is extracted. Also, pure shilajit, raw natural material contains various impurities (sand, remnants of rocks, etc.).

The purification of raw natural resin is carried out using water vaporization, Triphala decoction, centrifugation, and evaporation. After using these purifying techniques, impurities settle or float and are then eliminated. Let's take a look at each of the methods in more detail

Pine resin (кедровая живица in Russian) is a versatile natural remedy that has been well known to Siberian (and not only Siberian) traditional healers and doctors for centuries. Today we will look at some interesting and little-known facts about this unique gift of Siberian nature.

Another name for the resin of pine is turpentine. The remedy sometimes sold in pharmacies is pine gum, an aromatic substance released naturally after bark damage.

Taking remedies based on Siberian pine nut resin is recommended only during daylight hours. This can be explained by the fact that resin and medical products derived from it interact best with the waking human body. At the same time, the pine resin, without arranging stressful situations for the body, gently and slowly turns on the regeneration process at the cellular level. As a result of this, the chromosome number begins to be restored in the human body.

For a long time and to this day in different countries of the world, the resin-shaped Shilajit has many different "local" names. As an example - in Central Asia region the Shilajit (Mumijo) is termed"asil" or "argalitash" and translated from local languages as "the best", "the superior" "priceless", "very rare". In Buryatia region of Russia, south of Siberia, Mongolia and Tibet regions - "bragshun" and may be translated as "rock juice", "rock blood", "rock nectar", "juice of rock jewels", in Myanmar - "chao tun" - "blood of the mountain".

English medicine of the past borrowed a lot from Indian healers. In India, this remedy is called “shalajidi” ("destroyer of weakness"), and now in English, one of the names of the remedy is “shilajit”, which is a derivative of the Indian name.

So, why in Siberia, one of the main modern sources of shilajit, instead of the traditional for English-speaking people "shilajit", the bizarre word "Mumijo" is used? Well, there are several explanations for this.

The omega-9 fatty acid oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid. Because it is a component of lipids, normal metabolism is impossible without it. Oleic acid releases energy as it decomposes and aids in the production of cell membranes in the body. The permeability of cell membranes varies drastically when oleic acid shortage is present. Cells may become weaker as a result of this process. Good news - oleic acid aids in the prevention of this process.

Monounsaturated fats (such as oleic acid) in the diet reduce overall blood cholesterol levels. Regimens with a high carbohydrate content are an alternative to such diets. However, a large-scale comparison research found that increasing monounsaturated fatty acids in the diet decreases LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels to a larger extent.
