History of Shilajit

The Ancient History & Origin of Shilajit

Shilajit has been a cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years, revered as a potent natural healer and rejuvenator. Known as “Shilajatu” in Sanskrit, this powerful resin was traditionally harvested from the heart of the Himalayas—where it forms through the slow decomposition of botanical matter trapped deep within the mountains.

 

Historical Significance in Ayurveda:

• First recorded in classic Ayurvedic texts like Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita.
• Praised as a Rasayana — a rejuvenating substance that promotes strength, longevity, and balance.
• Used by ancient sages, healers, and warriors to enhance energy, cognitive power, and overall vitality.

Where Does Shilajit Come From?:

Shilajit is found primarily in high-altitude mountain ranges such as:

• The Himalayas (India, Nepal, Bhutan)
• The Altai Mountains (Siberia)
• The Caucasus Mountains (Eastern Europe)
