Himalayan Shilajit

Shilajit is the 'Conqueror of Mountains'. It is a thick, sticky tar-like substance that oozes from the rocks of the Himalayas in summer. It is formed by the decomposition of plant matter over centuries. In Ayurveda, it is classified as a 'Rasayana' (Rejuvenator). Collecting Shilajit is dangerous work, involving climbing steep cliffs. The raw resin is then purified to remove rocks and impurities. Pahadi men have used Shilajit for centuries to maintain their legendary stamina and strength required for mountain life.
