STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF MUMIYO ON THE HUMAN BODY AND ITS APPLICATION

Abstract

Relevance of the problem. Currently, thrombi that form in the arteries, veins, and heart chambers, as well as their emboli, become the cause of myocardial infarctions, strokes, and pulmonary artery thromboembolism. Every year, thrombi and thromboembolisms lead to the deaths of nearly 25 million people, and millions more become disabled. Considering the numerous studies and claims regarding the therapeutic properties of mumiyo in Traditional Medicine (TM), as well as in the Ayurvedic and Siddha medical systems, and taking into account the lack of comprehensive evaluations on this issue, the present study is aimed at assessing the effects of the preliminary use of mumiyo—a traditional preparation well known in ancient medical practices of both the East and the West—on the anticoagulant properties of blood in rats subjected to tail injury
