Shilajit is one of the many healing substances found in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. This unique substance is considered the “king of herbs” in Ayurveda and Eastern European Holistic Medicine due to its extensive health benefits for the body. Although it is neither a plant nor an animal, in Ayurvedic texts it is considered a “Rasayana herb” for its rejuvenating properties for the body.
According to ancient Ayurvedic writings, this resin carries “the healing powers of the great mountains.” And it is described as “the conqueror of mountains and destructor of illness.” Most important Ayurvedic texts state that “there is no curable disease that can’t be cured without shilajit.” And it is believed that it can bring you to excellent health if correctly combined with other herbs and ingested at the right time.

What are the basic properties of shilajit?
Shilajit possesses multiple health benefits:
- it supports healthy blood sugar;
- kidney health;
- promotes healthy inflammation response;
- diuretic;
- apoptogenic;
- reproductive;
- nervine tonic.
Shilajit contains amino acids. In addition to supporting tissues, they can support the production of enzymes and hormones, which above all help to adjust the various processes of the human body.
It also has excellent benefits for rejuvenation and detoxification of the body. Shilajit is also a perfect health substance to maintain a healthy urinary system. Ayurvedic doctors prescribe shilajit for bladder health, incontinence, and urinary tract health.
Another great benefit of shilajit is for the men’s and woman’s reproductive organs. It’s very beneficial in conditions of infertility, post-menopausal symptoms, and painful menstrual periods.
In addition, shilajit is very helpful in mending bones fractures.
Due to its high mineral content, it is indicated for a healthy response to pain, healthy response to inflammation, and supporting the building of the bone tissue.
Why is shilajit to be used only in a resin form?
Although shilajit can be purchased in different forms such as tablets, powders, tinctures, and liquid extracts, only the resin form can provide all its benefits. Most of these forms of shilajit are produced with unacceptable methods that can’t get rid of all soil impurities. As a matter of fact, these are an inferior form of “shilajit” imitation products that are mere soil extractions. Some people prefer these forms because they are more convenient, cheap, easy to ingest, prepare, and more accessible to dose. However, the quality gets notably reduced.
Another common form of shilajit is tablets. They are simple soil extracted powders pressed to create tablets. The shilajit producers add excipients mixed with organic rice flour, silicon dioxide, and other additives which may resemble shilajit. It is not uncommon for counterfeiters to use artificial flavors and colors that make it look authentic.
It is imperative to buy only the original shilajit resin form from a highly reputable and established manufacturer. “While combining shilajit with other health-supporting herbs may seem naturally appropriate, such formulations often draw on the beneficial properties of herbs. However, most of the products presented in these forms fail to deliver the optimum quality and amount required to exercise the benefits of shilajit.
When it comes to Shilajit resin, Pürblack is the best choice because of its expertise in genuine high efficacy shilajit production. With Pürblack, you get all its benefits without any unwanted chemicals or fillers.
