Mumijo: The Purest Form of Shilajit 

What is Mumijo?
Mumijo, often referred to as "mountain balm" or "mountain tear," is a highly refined and purified form of Shilajit. This resinous, mineral-rich substance is formed over centuries in high-altitude mountain ranges like the Altai Mountains and Siberia. Celebrated for its adaptogenic and revitalizing properties, Mumijo has been a cornerstone of wellness traditions for thousands of years, promoting:

• Energy and resilience
• Mental clarity
• Physical recovery

Why Choose Mumijo?
Our Mumijo is sourced from the high mountains of Siberia, where it's purified to remove impurities like sand, soil, and heavy metals, offering a cleaner, more nutrient-dense resin. Its highly bio-available form ensures maximum absorption, making it the ideal choice for those seeking a potent, contaminant-free wellness solution. 

The Formation Process
Mumijo’s creation is a rare, natural phenomenon that takes centuries:

·       High-altitude environments (above 10,000 feet) with clean air and minimal pollutants create perfect conditions.

·       Ancient plant matter decomposes under high pressure, fluctuating temperatures, and microbial activity.

·       Combined with mineral-rich rock, this forms Shilajit, which is then refined into pure Mumijo.

This unique process results in a resin packed with fulvic acid, humic acid, and essential minerals that have been preserved for centuries

A Rich History
Mumijo has been treasured for over 3,000 years across ancient civilizations:

• In Babylon, Persia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome, it was revered for its body-preserving and vitality-enhancing properties.
• In Ayurveda, Mumijo is known as Shilajit, while Tibetan medicine calls it "mountain oil."
• Ancient healers used it as a rejuvenating tonic to promote stamina and resilience, especially in high-altitude regions.

Today, Mumijo remains a sought-after adaptogen, celebrated for balancing the body and supporting overall well-being.

Key Benefits

Energy & Vitality ~ Rich in minerals that support cellular energy and oxygen transport, Mumijo enhances physical endurance and stamina.

Cognitive Health ~ Fulvic acid and essential minerals aid mental clarity, focus, and cognitive function—perfect for demanding lifestyles.

Skin & Hair Health ~ Known for promoting skin elasticity, hair strength, and collagen production, Mumijo offers natural antioxidant support.

How to Store Mumijo

• Mumijo resin hardens in colder temperatures, becoming brittle like glass.
• Store it in a sealed grip bag to prevent moisture absorption.
• Keep it in a cool, dry place—but avoid refrigeration, as fridge humidity can make it sticky.

Discover the purity and potency of Mumijo—the ultimate natural wellness enhancer.

This Guayusa comes in whole leaves to ensure the highest quality; some leaves may break during packaging.

Guayusa tea, an herbal drink consumed for centuries in the western Amazon, comes from the holly tree (Ilex guayusa), native to the rainforest. The Quechua people cultivate it in horticultural plots called chakras and drink it daily. It’s also enjoyed at parties and festivals as a social drink that strengthens bonds among family and friends. Traditionally, guayusa is boiled and served in gourds, often accompanied by storytelling, dream interpretation, and light tasks like weaving. It plays a role in rituals, such as the Quechua practice of drinking it to induce dreams that predict successful hunts. Guayusa is also used medicinally, often mixed with ginger, lime juice, or sugarcane liquor.

Guayusa leaves contain caffeine, theobromine, theophylline, and all 15 essential amino acids, the most notable being L-Theanine. This creates a stimulant that boosts mood & energy without the anxiety or jitters often caused by coffee. With its stimulant and antioxidant properties, guayusa serves as a natural energy drink alternative. It’s the ideal blend of alertness and tranquility, allowing for productive, clear-headed focus without feeling overwhelmed or anxious

Introduction

Jambu, Electric Daisy, aka The Toothache Plant, is known for its culinary uses in Asian and South American cultures. It produces a mild, pleasant electric zingy feeling in the mouth and promotes saliva production, aiding in the growth of beneficial mouth bacteria. Our Chilcuague (Heliopsis longipes) tincture offers a much stronger effect. The Toothache Plant features unique flowers resembling yellow olives with a deep red center, giving it a distinctive look. As a member of the Asteraceae family, it shares characteristics with asters, daisies, and cornflowers, but with a unique flower and memorable numbing effect.

In northern Brazil, fresh leaves of the Toothache Plant are added to salads for their unique flavor. Cooking diminishes its taste, so it is primarily used for its nutritional value and numbing property. The leaves are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, lutein, and magnesium.

Our Jambu tincture is a classic maceration according to HAB 3A of the German pharmacopoeia, harvested and produced in the Netherlands.

Other names: Jambu, Toothache plant, Electric daisy, Paracress, Buzz buttons, Schezuan buttons. Spilanthes oleracea, Spilanthes acmella

Usage

Use the included dropper to apply one full dropper (1 ml) of Jambu tincture in the mouth. Close your mouth and allow salivation for a few minutes before swallowing. Swishing saliva through the mouth and along the gums enhances the experience and benefits the bacterial flora. Licking your lips will intensify and broaden the sensation, which continues for several minutes after swallowing. 

Precautions

• You are allergic to plants in the daisy family.
• You consume alcohol, as it may prolong intoxication.
• You use diuretics or have prostate cancer, due to its diuretic and hormone-interacting properties.
• You are pregnant, as high intake may lead to birth defects.
