What is Shilajit?

Shilajit is a blackish-brown semisolid mass, mainly consisting of a mixture of low molecular weight organic compounds and paleohumus, naturally exuding from steep rocks in many mountain ranges especially in Himalayan and Hindukush ranges of Indian Subcontinent. Today, Shilajit is understood to be a remnant of vegetational fossils that has undergone a high amount of metamorphosis due to temperature, moisture and the pressure of the earth.

The Himalayan mountains are understood to have been formed from the collision of the Sub-Asian and Indian continents about 50 million years ago. During the collision dense vegetation comprising entire rain forests are understood to have been trapped under millions of tons of pressure, which slowly changed this vegetation into a rich bioactive material, called Shilajit. Thus Shilajit represents originality of ancient vegetation and purity of non-exposure to any harmful fertilizer, pesticide, herbicide and other pollutants.

The discovery of Shilajit is said to be made by some Himalayan tribal villagers, who observed white monkeys (a species of monkey found in the Himalayas) migrate to higher mountains in summer months. The monkeys were observed to lick the semi-solid substance exuding out of rock crevices. Since observing animal behaviors were an important part of healthcare research in ancient times, the villagers attributed the great strength, longevity and wisdom of those monkeys to this substance. Out of curiosity, they themselves started taking the substance and reported a broad spectrum of improvement in their health and stamina. It gave them more energy, relieved digestive problems, increased sex drive, improved memory etc. With the passage of time traditional health practitioners established the methods to purify the substance.

Shilajit Properties

Shilajit is a herbo-mineral herb that oozes out of the cracks in the mountains generally in the summer season. As per the references available to Mineralogy, Shilajit is oxygenated hydrocarbon of diverse types, which is Amorphous is nature G=1-1.8, luster is that of Black Pitch, that has a melting point of 90-1000 degree Celsius and burns with a bright flame. It is soluble in turpentine oil. Shilajit is a result of high degree of coalification that converts into Kerogen shale and eventually to petroleum. Shilajit liquidifies and gets converted into a liquid state which is rich in humic acid due to vegetal substance resulting from roots. In nature it takes place in regions of coalification covered by abundant vegetation like theHimalayan region of India

These include- Anxiety neurosis, depression, mental and physical stress, mental and physical fatigue, lack of proper digestion, lack of smooth functioning of heart (blood circulation) and liver etc. As a matter of fact, Ayurveda addresses all these root causes to correct the lack of libido. Hence it recommends "Rasayana" which functions on all these systems and corrects the imbalance thus providing overall well-being. It postulates that once you are healthy in your physical body as well as your mind your libido is bound to be normal.
