(NewsTarget) Shilajit was discovered as Himalayan villagers were observing large white monkeys migrate to the mountains in the warm summer months. These monkeys were seen to be chewing a semi-soft substance that flowed from between layers of rock. The villagers attributed the monkey's great strength, longevity and wisdom to the strange substance. They began to consume it themselves and experienced great improvement in health, strength, wisdom and longevity.

Shilajit is a Sanskrit word meaning "exuding from the rocks". It is an end product of plant matter trapped within the Himalayan Mountains which decomposed and then became preserved due to pressure. It is a resin that oozes out from the Himalayan Mountains due to the heating effect of the sun in summer. It is brown to blackish-brown in color. This fresh resin is soft in texture, slimy to touch, pure and heavy. It is soluble in water.

This is one mineral-rich natural substance! Shilajit is a natural source for all of the minerals required by the body. There is hardly any function of the body which is not supported by Shilajit. It is used for nourishment and as a natural support for renewing vitality & physical strength. It also provides unique sexual vitality when taken with warm organic milk and helps transport nutrients deep into the tissue. It also removes deep-seated toxins.

Shilajit contains at least 85 minerals as well as Humic acid and contains amazing amounts of completely body-usable Fulvic acid (about 10-20 % in the best purified extracts). Some companies are claiming that their Shilajit contains 50% or more Fulvic acid which is entirely based on judgments and without any scientific analysis. To get 50% Fulvic acid the extraction ratio would have to go beyond 100:1 which is beyond imagination. You would also lose most of the minerals in the process so it would be pointless.

A good healthy purified extract (around 7:1) only requires about 1/2 to 1 gram daily (equivalent to one 00 size capsule) for amazing results. It also dissolves easily in warm water.

Longevity is the key word with Shilajit and it is somewhat comparable to He Shou Wu in this way. (https://www.naturalnews.com/026786_He_Shou_Wu...) In fact, many TCM herbalists say the combination of Shilajit with He Shou Wu (along with healthy eating and exercise) is the best way to a long and healthy life.

The traditional Chinese herbalists say it can be taken with herbal formulas to extend and magnify the results. It causes the body to better absorb anything that is good for it.

Some of the other benefits of Shilajit are:

It is helpful in nervous disorders such as paralysis, etc.

It is effective for depression, mental stress and epilepsy.

It promotes intelligence by promoting mental concentration thereby enhancing learning skills.

It is effective in abdominal disorders including pain, gastritis, indigestion and constipation and is healing in piles and fistula.

It helps purify the blood due to its anti-microbial action

Think of the Fulvic acid in Shilajit as "The Great Transferring Substance" and the 85 minerals as the best ready-absorbable colloidal nutrients available on earth.

Fulvic acid is part of the soil content that transfers nutrients to the plants. Likewise the liver utilizes it to transfer nutrients to our body's cells. Oh, and those 85 absorbable colloidal minerals? Well they're just there in case you forgot to feed your body everything it needs for perfect health.

We all need Shilajit! It is the most nutrient rich substance on earth. A great source for purified Shilajit extract is found right here in the USA at your most reliable natural medicine supplier.

Chris Gussa: "Plant Cures is currently working with over 9,000 medicinal plants to bring about healing through the true science of combining the whole energies of whole plants. A plants energy is from its whole part. (flowers, fruit, leaves, stems, roots etc) While the "science" of seeing some of the isolated molecular constituents in food and herbs can be interesting at times, there is no "one magic ingredient" in any plant. (You would think it would be science trying to tell you this type of logic, instead of me) But no! They would rather play this childish game of trying to find the "Pot of gold" in a plant so they can synthesize it and dazzle the FDA with a "New Drug" that will most likely cause the usual death and destruction!
