Shilajit resin is a naturally occurring mineral pitch that is collected from high mountainous rocky areas. This miraculous resin has amazing benefits for both men’s and womens’ health. Shilajit is a powerful natural booster for energy, fertility, stamina and much more.
What happens when plant material is naturally compressed into rock over thousands of years?
Much like coal becomes diamonds, high mountain ranges produce a gift from nature that is totally unique. It is not really plant matter, definitely not animal, but rather, is a mineral pitch (tar) known as shilajit resin. This resin oozes from rocks when the weather gets warm during summers at very high altitudes (from 3-5,000 meters or 9-15,000 ft).
It has been collected by locals in the mountainous regions of the Himalayas in India, Nepal and Russia for millennia. Shilajit is a miraculous resin, often referred to as “magical” and has seemingly been created by nature for our health.
Why is Shilajit Resin Important for Health?
The ancient Indian Ayurvedic texts of traditional medicine have detailed records of this incredible substance. These records catalog shilajit’s wide range of health benefits. Its unique composition contains amino acids, enzymes, phytonutrients and over 80 trace minerals.
Shilajit’s name has been translated as, “destroyer of weakness,” “rock-invincible” and “conqueror of mountains.” This is due to shilajit’s ability to carry nutrients throughout the human body and provide energy.
The sticky, usually dark brown or tar-like shilajit resin can be taken daily for numerous health conditions. It is either melted in hot water and taken as a tea or scooped into pea sized pellets and popped into the mouth to be swallowed with water.
Granted, its taste is not something you will cheer about – it’s earthy, gritty and dirty tasting. But. The benefits far outweigh the taste factor! For those who can’t handle the taste, shilajit resin can also be purchased in tablet or capsule form. (see shopping links in Conclusion at the end of this article)
Let’s look at the health benefits from shilajit:
Energy Booster
Shilajit’s chemical components of fulvic and humic acids are prime for delivering energy to the body by stimulating energy production within cells.
Fulvic acids accomplish this by feeding more nutrients to mitochondria, the small organelles (cellular sub-parts) of the body. With more nutrients, cells can better process oxygen.
Students, working adults, stay-at-home-moms, work-out buffs and professional athletes – everyone can benefit from the energy boost provided by shilajit resin.
Women’s Hormonal Health and Fertility
Taken regularly, shilajit resin aids in balancing the hormonal system and menstrual cycles. Irregular periods can factor into a lack of fertility in women. Shilajit regulates monthly periods, which are necessary to increase the chances of healthy conception. This includes the decreasing of bloating and painful period cramps.
Shilajit also increases blood flow throughout the body, including the circulation of healthy oxygen enriched blood to the reproductive organs. This aids in removing toxins that may accumulate and cause disease, helping to keep the uterus and ovaries nourished and healthy. The boost in energy that shilajit provides also helps to increase libido and sexual performance in women.
In post-menopausal women, shilajit supports the skeletal system by contributing vital nutrients for bone density and promoting post-fracture healing of bones. Shilajit’s high iron content also helps to create hemoglobin in the blood, which counteracts anemia.
Men’s Health – Fertility
Shilajit promotes testosterone production and activity in those with healthy sperm levels. It also aids in raising sperm count and activity for those men suffering from testosterone deficiency. Although testosterone levels tend to drop in men over age 40, shilajit can help to maintain prior levels.
This is even more important these days as many men (even those under 40) notice decreased sperm production. This deficiency is often associated with use of laptops and cell phones. Working in environments with high electromagnetic activity over long periods of time can add to the difficulties.
While increasing fertility, shilajit resin also increases vitality and increases blood flow, which boosts libido. This improves stamina in sexual performance.
The fulvic acid content in shilajit is also responsible for increased muscle strength, which is useful for athletes and performers.
Helps Fight Depression While Improving Mental Capability
Shilajit’s nootropic action aids in releasing dopamine, one of the many brain chemicals responsible for a positive mental state. Increased flow of dopamine aids in focus and concentration. Shilajit resin also aids in naturally promoting calmness and mood elevation. The anti-stress capabilities of shilajit also contribute to both men’s and women’s fertility as happy people make happy partners!
With its positive effect on cognitive abilities, shilajit resin aids in countering degenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
Anti-inflammatory
Shilajit has super-powerful antivirus and anti-inflammatory actions that are beneficial for relieving joint stiffness and arthritis symptoms. It also soothes inflammation prevalent in those suffering from gastric ulcers.
Antimicrobial and Antiviral
Shilajit resin’s main components are antiviral in effect and work synergistically to inhibit pathogens such as those in various viruses like herpes and candida. Staph infections and E-Coli also respond to shilajit’s beneficial organic acids.
Anti-aging
Shilajit resin is high in antioxidants and reduces damage to cells that occur due to aging. The phyto-nutrients in shilait also help to eliminate free radicals that speed up the aging process.
Shilajit helps skin to maintain suppleness, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles and helping to maintain a more youthful appearance.
Anti-cancer Action
Shilajit’s unique components aid in destruction of cancer cells and in halting multiplication of cancer cells.
Conclusion
This amazing mineral substance really helps the body’s organs to function optimally. It is unsurpassed as a natural booster for energy and fertility, while helping both men and women slow down the aging process.
