History of resin use
Cedar resin was used back in Ancient Greece - it was used for digestive disorders, as well as for the treatment of kidney and lung diseases, rheumatism and skin diseases.
In the Middle Ages, they learned to make turpentine from resin - with the help of its vapors, which had bactericidal properties, they were saved from the plague. Healing resin has been used since ancient times and in Chinese folk medicine as a universal remedy for many diseases, especially for toothache and headaches. In Rus', the resin of coniferous trees was actively used as a medicine: pine, spruce, fir, cedar and larch. It is the larch, according to the belief of many Buryats, that is a symbol of life and is directly related to human life. People turned to her, begging for children, longevity, and health. To do this, they found a strong, strong larch tree, tied a ribbon around its trunk, lit a lamp and, walking around the tree several times, asked for the wish to come true.
Cedar resin
It is for their healing properties that these resins are popularly known as “resin,” that is, “life-bearing.” In the scientific world they are better known as turpentine . One of the most famous surgeons in history, Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov, who lived in the 19th century, used cedar resin as an antiseptic after amputations and difficult operations. Pirogov wrote a work on the properties of resin based on his clinical works and observations.
The first industrial harvesting of cedar resin took place in the Altai Mountains in 1932. This natural remedy was used by military surgeons during the Great Patriotic War when there was a shortage of medicines to treat bullet wounds, protecting them from infection or the development of a gangrenous process.

How is propolis useful for men and potency?
Benefits and harms for potency
Bee propolis is an adhesive that bees use to close cracks inside hives. Like all beekeeping products, propolis is a natural stimulant, having many beneficial properties for humans. Let's try to figure out how propolis is useful for men in this article.

What are the benefits of propolis for men?
Propolis is visually similar to a substance with a resinous composition and comes in various colors (from light yellow to brown). When frozen, it hardens and becomes brittle, crumbles easily, and when heated, it becomes soft and sticky.
The healing properties of this bee product for men are due to its composition, which contains a large number of microelements that are extremely necessary for the male body (chrome, zinc, strontium, etc.), and B- and E-group vitamins.
Components of propolis that can be used for medicinal purposes:

Propolis and potency
Potency in men is defined as the ability to perform sexual intercourse. Therefore, any violations during sexual contact are considered a disease associated not only with the lost physiological ability of the male body, but also with psychological problems.
Male potency problems are also closely related to an overly active lifestyle, consumption of unhealthy foods and alcohol, smoking, and low physical activity due to sedentary work.
Bee products have long been used to stabilize the human nervous system and maintain psychological balance . They also help in treating inflammation in the prostate gland and, of course, increasing libido and are successfully used to restore impotence and normal sexual function in men .
Recipes and methods of using propolis
Propolis for male potency is used in several forms, the most widely used of which are alcohol tincture and a mixture with honey.
Tincture with propolis can also be used for other medicinal purposes: to gargle a sore throat, as a compress on wounds, to relieve inflammation in the stomach.
- Potency suppositories with propolis are often sold ready-made in pharmacies. They are used rectally in the complex treatment of such well-known male diseases as prostatitis, hemorrhoids and inflammation in the urinary tract. By providing an anti-inflammatory effect and supporting a man’s immune system, they also help improve a man’s sexual performance.
You can make such candles yourself at home . For this you will need:

Meet: mastic from Greece
The resin is obtained from the trunk of the pistachio tree, which grows on the southern part of the island of Chios. It is considered the most useful and is valued all over the world. Only in male trees at the age of 5-6 years does mastic begin to be released in cuts on the trunk. It has a light golden hue. It contains essential oils, resin acids and more than 80 ingredients.
At the very beginning of formation, the mastic has a bitter taste, but over time it weakens. A unique aroma remains, which only intensifies.
Since 1977, all resin-producing pistachio trees have been covered by the Trade Name Protection Program. They have a special Protected Designition of Origin mark, which gives the right to be called mastic only to resin from this island of Chios.
Oil trees are distributed throughout the Mediterranean coast. But the resin has healing properties only on one island due to the water supply from underground volcanoes. Attempts to plant similar trees in other places were unsuccessful. The trees are hardy, but they can be destroyed by frost and the careless attitude of people when collecting resin.
Types of chewing gum
There are several types of resin that are used to create sulfur.
- Deciduous. Excellent for the oral cavity.
- Pine. Helps cope with colds and strengthen the immune system.
- Cedar. Well suited for creating balms and tinctures.
- Spruce. The resin of this tree helps treat skin diseases.
It is from these trees that sulfur is collected. It is also available on Fir, Apple, Apricot, Cherry, and Plum.
Some popular varieties
It is impossible to talk about all varieties of plums - there is enough material for an entire encyclopedia. Let's get acquainted with at least some of the most popular ones.
Hungarian
Hungarian gardeners shared this variety with us at the beginning of the 20th century, hence the name. A tree up to 6 meters high can produce up to 30 kg of harvest per season. Delicious oblong blue fruits with a bluish coating on the skin and greenish or reddish flesh contain up to 16% sugar and tolerate transportation and storage well.
Hungarian is better suited than other varieties for preparing prunes, as it has ideal proportions of pectin, sugar and organic acids. And it’s better to pick it even if it’s a little overripe, when the fruits are slightly withered and fall off the tree themselves.
Recommendations before use
Taiga tar or chewing gum made from resin is very sensitive to temperature changes. Therefore, it is best to keep it in warm water before chewing. You can also just put a piece in your mouth and warm it there. Well, then start chewing.
In fact, chewing gum made from larch resin is a natural antiseptic that destroys most bacteria in the oral cavity. It is great for people suffering from diabetes, as it contains no sugar. And for everyone else, chewing gum and tar will not hurt. Does not cause allergies.
What is resin
The substance is a fluid resin secreted by plants during physiological metabolism. It is produced by coniferous trees:
- cedar;
- larch;
- pine;
- spruce;
- fir
Resin is produced by roots, leaves, wood and inner bark-sapwood. The substance is released when wood is damaged. The resin-producing cells divide to form canals. These passages often branch. If one of them is damaged, the resin is supplied to the “wound” for restoration.
Hardened cedar resin.
The resin is initially released in a liquid state. Oxidized by atmospheric oxygen, it hardens. At the same time, it reliably protects the tree from bark beetles, pathogenic fungi and other microorganisms.
It has a similar effect on the human body. It is not for nothing that the name oleoresin comes from the word zhivtsa, which means to heal. It is used for treatment after dissolving in oil.
Taste properties of chewing sulfur
Natural gum made from resin is produced in different flavors. Basically, when chewing, the taste of pine is felt. But at the moment, manufacturing companies have developed new unique tastes. And here is their list:
- Sea buckthorn.
- With mint.
- Larch.
- With propolis.
- Cedar.
- With cranberries.
- Eucalyptus.
- Rosehip
- Blueberries.
- With coffee bean extract.
Thus, Siberian resin chewing gum can please you not only with its medicinal properties, but also with its range of flavors!
What is mumiyo
A black or brown mass (the color depends on the place of formation), shapeless, viscous, elastic resin with a resinous odor and bitter taste. Studying the product, scientists discovered particles of plants, animals, minerals, and other valuable components in it:
- Vitamins: B1, B2, B6, B12, A, C, D.
- Magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, silicon, other macro and microelements.
- More than 20 amino acids have been discovered. The most important of them are glutamic acid, glycine, arginine, tryptophan, and methionine.
- Fatty unsaturated organic and inorganic acids: oleic, linoleic, benzoic, succinic, oxalic, citric.
Mumiyo consists of resin-like substances and resins, enzymes, alkaloids, phospholipids, tannins, chlorophyll and bee venom. Organic compounds account for 70% of the composition of rock resin.
Pine nuts
The benefits of the fruits of the Siberian cedar pine are difficult to assess. Pine nuts are a source of healthy oils and essential amino acids - lysine, methionine, tryptophan. Consumption of the product normalizes the activity of the heart, removes cholesterol, strengthens bone tissue and tooth enamel. When traveling around the Baikal region, be sure to buy nuts for yourself and as a gift. Here you can buy freshly harvested pine nuts at a price 3-4 times cheaper than in the European part of Russia.
Chain stores, fairs and souvenir shops offer nuts in shells and shelled kernels in gift bags, beautifully decorated bags, and birch bark baskets. For children, it is better to buy whole pine cones. It will be interesting for the child to get the seeds on his own, and the empty large cone will be useful for making crafts.
You can buy a lot of sweet treats with healthy kernels: nuts in white glaze, nuts sprinkled with cocoa powder, roasted nuts in chocolate. An original gift would be jars with nut kernels in blueberry, dandelion, and rosehip syrup. Pine nut oil and pine oleoresin are available for sale. Remember, fresh grilled meat should not be hard. This should be checked when purchasing; the treat should not be stored for a long time.

Fedorov Anton Viktorovich, 36 years old, Kazan I have been chewing gray for a long time. I started smoking less. And tar kills the smell of tobacco very well. Neitova Raisa Ivanovna, 29 years old, Irkutsk I really love chewing sulfur. I've been chewing it since childhood. And all my teeth are intact and healthy. And your breath remains fresh for a long time. Zhvanov Alexander Nikolaevich, 52 years old, Saratov Although the taste of oleoresin is specific, for me it is an indispensable remedy for colds.

Baikal omul
Despite the fact that omul lives only in Lake Baikal and some Siberian rivers, the fish is known to gourmets all over the world. Local residents highly valued omul, called it “Tsar Fish” (kuchelga), and considered its meat to be healing for many ailments. Omul belongs to the salmon family and has tender and fatty meat. When properly prepared, a fish dish acquires a unique, delicious taste.
Omul can be purchased dried, salted, hot or cold smoked. Previously, it was recommended to take with you on the road only dried fish or cold-smoked fish (shelf life 7 days). Modern production offers omul carcasses in vacuum packaging, which have a shelf life of up to 3 months.
You can bring omul as a gift in special barrels lined with polyethylene on the inside. The fish is salted in large barrels, then transferred to souvenir containers, filled with brine with spices, and sealed with sealing wax on top. Dried omul or fish balyk is wrapped in parchment and packaged in birch bark or wooden containers.
We recommend buying several jars of orange-reddish omul caviar. The product is rich in proteins, valuable amino acids and vitamins, and contains virtually no carbohydrates. It is considered useful for people with diseases of the cardiovascular and circulatory systems. The product is made without preservatives, using a gentle salting method.
Gems
In Eastern Siberia there are a large number of deposits of semi-precious gems and ornamental stones. Natural minerals brought from the trip have magical properties and serve as a reminder of Baikal - a mysterious place where ancient legends come to life. Each piece of jewelry with natural gems is unique; any product will be a wonderful gift.
Semi-precious stones mined in the Baikal region:

- carnelian (a type of beryl) - yellow-orange stones
- jade - available in green, black and white colors
- aquamarine - a transparent stone the color of sea water

Set in silver or gold, they are widely available in stores and at local fairs. People even come to Irkutsk from abroad to buy gems; semi-precious stones can improve a person’s aura and heal ailments.
On sale you can find many products made from valuable ornamental stones mined in Siberia (malachite, amazonite, baicalite). Stone carvers make original keychains and brooches, bracelets, boxes and vases, and various figurines.
