Here is a quote from Banyan botanical when I wrote to them about Shilajit being

mammal excreta:

" Shilajit is a mineral pitch. There are many sources for this.  From

'Ayurvedic Medicine' by Sebastian Pole, fwd by Vasant Lad pg

273-'Shilajit literally means 'rock overpowering' and is a natural

exudate from the rocks of the Himalayas and other mountainous regions of

the world. Its high mineral content oozes out in the heat of summer. It

is a superb mineral supplement that benefits the kidneys, urinary and

reproductive systems.' "

So,

I'd like to have Neil's claims settled once and for all. Is shilajit what

Dr. Lad and all other traditional sources claim, or is it animal excreta as the

one web link claims?

This is a quote from Dragonherbs.com

 

 

Shilajit is an " exudate " that oozes out of cracks in the Himalayan rocks and

cliffs in the summer months. It is composed of organic plant material that is

thought to have been compressed by rock for thousands, of years. After it is

collected, it is naturally purified and processed into a potent, high-quality

extract.

I've seen shilajit deposits on the rocks in high Himalaya, near Badrinath,

Uttaranchal. It seems to seep from the rocks. You can see it as dark streaks

in the rocky mountains. Unless squirrels defecate bitumen deep into the rocks,

it is highly doubtful they are the origins of the substance.

 

I've heard the Russian mumiyo can be often found in caves. Anyone have

experience with this? Or any idea on chemical or energetic differences between

Russian, Himalayan or other varieties?

 

The best quality shilajit I've seen was from the Nepali Royal pharmacy- (maybe

now the Peoples' Liberation pharmacy) :-(. It seemed soft at any temperature,

and would not get brittle or break like other kinds. Tibetan medicine speaks of

different types, based on the presence of or resemblance to various minerals-

gold, silver, copper, etc, but I haven't been able to find any of them

specifically. Any insight on this?
