Shilajit or mineral pitch
Posted by: Mislu ()

Hello,
Does anyone here have any experience with shilajit or mineral pitch? I came accross it the other day while doing a search for something else. It seems to be aggressively marketed, and I am wondering if its worth all the bother.

Its a substance used in ayruvedic medicine, or so its claimed. Its something which oozes out between rocks in mountain peaks, or in caves in some cases. There are a variety of theories as to what it is exactly, but many believe its a mineral residue from ancient plants which have reacted with the local rocks.

There are a number of claims made for it, such as life extension, helpful in curing just about anything. But it looks something like tar or pavement, one webpage translated it as 'asphaltum'.

So it would be great to hear from students of ayruveda, comments about if its really useful, or even a real ayruvedic substance. Thank you!

hey mislu, i'm not an ayurveda student, just a patient of an amazing practitioner. i know that "shalajit" was one of the ingredients in a custom formula of mine for a time, and from my notes here she said it was a hormone balancer and boosted "heat"/yang energy in the body (i always write down what the ingredients do because i am curious). just so you know, it is a REAL ayurvedic substance.
