Facts and History Of Shilajit

[Guest guest]

Shilajit in Sanskrit means "conqueror of mountains & destroyer of

weakness". It comes from the rocks in the lower Himalayas and is the

most important natural remedy of Ayurvedic medicine. The active

principle of shilajit is fulvic acid. Traditionally considered a

panacea and a strong kidney tonic, it increases the core energy

responsible for your sexual and spiritual power, the same force that

is withered by stress and anxiety. "There is hardly any curable

disease which cannot be controlled or cured with the aid of

Shilajit". - Famous Indian Vaid Charak (1st Century A.D.

 

Shilajit is the most important natural remedy of Ayurvedic and folk-

medicine systems. Its active principle is fulvic acid. Shilajit,

also known as mineral pitch , comes from the rocks in the lower

Himalayas during the warm, summer months

Shilajit is used by the indigenous system of medicine in India,

Hakims and Vaids and traditional healers, in a great variety of

diseases: genitourinary diseases, diabetes, chronic bronchitis,

asthma, gall stones, jaundice, painful and bleeding piles, epilepsy,

enlarged liver and spleen, fermentative dyspepsia, digestive

disorders, worms, renal and bladder calculi, nervous debility, sexual

neurasthenia, hysteria, anaemia and in bone fracture.

 

Ancient Sanskrit holy texts, over 3,000 years old, make reference to

a mysterious substance called shilajit, which they describe as

the "destroyer of weakness." The texts list its powerful health and

spiritual benefits and the positive changes that shilajit brought in

the lives of those who used it. The sacred substance was prescribed

for thousands of years for many different health problems and became

a powerful tool in Ayurvedic medicine. There is some indication that

shilajit may have been the priceless soma of the Eastern alchemists.

 

This organic matter is composed of a large variety of minerals.

Millions of years ago, before the Himalayas were formed, a lush

garden flourished in a vast fertile valley. The vegetation in that

primeval garden became trapped and preserved as the movement of the

continents caused that valley to become the tallest mountain range in

the world. Today, millions of years later the monsoon rains and

extreme freeze and thaw conditions work together to crack large rock

formations, exposing the precious shilajit. Because of its ancient

nature, the vegetation was never exposed to any type of fertilizer,

pesticide, herbicide, or pollution. The native Nepali people collect

and carry this gift of nature down the mountain, where it is

alchemically processed into a potent, high-quality extract.

 

This ancient wisdom was passed from generation to generation among

the Indian and Nepali alchemists and holy men, but it escaped the

notice of the Western medical establishment until the last days of

the twentieth century, when explorer John Anderson heard of the

amazing benefits of this substance and refused to give up the search

until he found its source. He journeyed throughout India and Nepal

until he learned of the perilous harvesting the raw shilajit from the

cliffs. He also documented the reams of Sanskrit studies showing the

rare plant's benefits. He spoke firsthand with more than fifty Indian

and Nepalese researchers that have been studying the wonderful

effects of shilajit and perfecting the processes for delivering the

purest, most concentrated shilajit ever know to man.

 

Medicinal Properties of Shilajit (excerpts from Dr. Michael Hartman)

There is a lot of research proving Shilajit can help a broad spectrum

of health problems. There are many testimonials from people taking

Shilajit that have received improvements beyond their expectations.

These testimonials indicate that shilajit has to be taken for at

least 2 months to give it time to work. Having tonic properties, this

substance is useful in a wide variety of treatments. It has been

said that there is hardly any curable disease which cannot be

assisted with the aid of Shilajit. General debility and fatigue is

among the list of ailments which can be helped with Shilajit. The

overall action is alterative, tonic, slightly laxative, cholagogue,

respiratory stimulant, disinfectant & expectorant, intestinal

antiseptic, diuretic, and lithotriptic.

 

The rediscovery of the power of shilajit is said to have been made by

Himalayan villagers observing large white monkeys migrate to the

mountains in the warm summer months. The monkeys were seen to be

chewing a semi-soft substance that flowed from between layers of

rock. The villagers attributed the monkey's great strength, longevity

and wisdom to the strange substance. They began to consume it

themselves and reported a broad spectrum of improvements in health.

It seemed to give them more energy, relieve digestive problems,

Increase sex drive, improve memory and cognition, improve diabetes,

reduce allergies, improve the quality and quantity of life and it

seemed to cure all diseases.
