Shilajit's Magic Powers
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.
There is hardly any curable disease which cannot be controlled
or cured with the aid of Shilajit." - Famous Indian Vaid Charak
