Traditional
Ayurvedic Uses
Shilajit is a powerful source of all the minerals and trace
minerals needed by the human body. It is more expensive than herbs,
and takes over a month to process correctly for maximum health
benefits. The white variety is considered most beneficial, but
it is more rare and costly. It is purified by the sun and arid
climate until it contains no living organisms. Its source is still
a mystery, although it has been used for thousands of years. The
mud is collected and further purified, then used as a mineral
supplement.
Shilajit supports all 13 metabolic processes (Agnis) which create
all 7 categories of bodily tissues (Dhatus).
