I feel like there should be a separate heading for these types of fun facts. Neat information, but we're just posting a page from an Encyclopedia.

Not to be confused with "mumijo", which has an equally weird background and used for similar purposes.

I'm not sure that's a separate thing, actually. It sounds like a regional variant of the same original concept (rock tar taken as medicine).
