Shilajit is a dark, sticky resin that seeps out of rocks in high mountain ranges such as the Himalayas. In Ayurveda it has been valued for centuries and is often described as a rasayana — a substance used to support overall vitality as part of a balanced lifestyle.
How classical texts describe it
Classical Ayurvedic texts such as the Charaka Samhita mention Shilajit (also written as Shilajatu) and describe the importance of purifying it before use. Traditional purification, known as shodhana, is meant to clean the raw resin so that it is suitable for regular use.
Why purity matters
Raw Shilajit can contain impurities. That is why it matters where your Shilajit comes from, how it has been processed and whether it is made in a licensed facility. At Kapimuni, our Shilajit Gold Resin is made by an Ayush-licensed manufacturer, and every ingredient is listed on the label.
How to take it
- Take a pea-sized portion once a day.
- Dissolve it in warm milk or water, ideally in the morning.
- Use a clean, dry spoon and close the jar tightly after use.
- Ayurveda recommends steady use over a few months, along with good sleep, a balanced diet and regular activity.
Who should be careful
If you have a medical condition, take regular medication, or are unsure whether Shilajit is right for you, please speak to a qualified doctor before using it.
