General information
In the holistic medicinal system of Ayurveda, mineral extracts play an important role in aiding the body's natural process of healing and energy production. For centuries in India, Ayurveda experts have relied on the Shilajit herb to combat a variety of impurities and toxins in the body. A mineral found in the Himalayan Mountain region, it is the product of decaying plant life that is thousands, even tens of thousands, of years old.
Shilajit increases your body's core energy. This means that spiritual and sexual powers are instantly revitalized, and negative external forces can no longer bind the body. This mineral extract is a natural booster of vitality, and it works as an effective antioxidant.
With the help of fulvic acids, Shilajit travels deep into your body and digs out toxins that have found homes in your organs and tissue. The herbs are like empty suitcases, waiting to be filled, so they snatch up free radicals and toxins and carry them through your waste systems.
In Asian societies, Shilajit has long been because of its natural ability to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Historically, this substance is also known for general physical strengthening, anti-aging effects, promoting healthy brain functioning and bone healing, organ rejuvenation (kidneys and spleen specifically), and lowering hypertension. In Sanskrit, Shilajit is defined as "conqueror of mountains and destroyer of weakness." This is significant in that the many benefits of this mineral are well recognized and charted. A "super-supplement" if you will, many Ayurvedic experts believe it can truly help any condition or illness, if not cure it altogether.
