What is Shilajit?
“Shilajit” is derived from the Sanskrit word “shilajatu,” which means “rock invincible.” This name refers to the substance’s ability to survive extreme conditions and maintain its potency over time. Shilajit has been used for centuries, over 3,000 years, as a “rasayana,” a term used in Ayurveda to describe substances that promote health and longevity.
It is composed of organic plant material, minerals, and other compounds and formed over millions of years from the slow decomposition of plant matter in the rocks of the Himalayan and Altai mountains.
The Formation & Extraction of Shilajit
Shilajit is a dark brown, a tar-like substance often found in India, Nepal, Bhutan, & Tibet mountains. It is formed by the pressure exerted on plant matter by the weight of the mountains. When the temperature rises during the summer months, the shilajit oozes out of the cracks & fissures in the rocks.
