What is Shilajit - Shilajit Benefits and Use of Shilajit
What It Is Shilajit: -
Shilajit is a mineral-rich organic compound that seeps out from between rocks high in the mountains of northeastern India and other parts of Asia during the summer. Also known as asphalt and mineral pitch, the compound comes in shades of copper, gold, silver and black, with the black form being the one most often used in ayurvedic preparations. Much of shilajit consists of decayed plant material.
How to Take Shilajit: -
Shilajit means "rock of life" in Sanskrit. Anecdotes, none of them verified by medical studies, claim the Shilajit plant gives its users the ability to retain youth and energy, to endure the ravages of time with a rock-like durability. Shilajit is found in the Himalayan region. It supposedly contains 85 minerals and fulvic acid. Some people take it in supplement form to ward off illnesses, boost metabolism and lose weight. However, there is no reputable
evidence that this supplement can impart any of these benefits.
• Begin by taking 300 mg of Shilajit per day. This may be taken at any time during the day, but it should be taken with water. If you are using liquid Shilajit, mix it in juice or water.
• If your body does well with 300 mg of Shilajit and you do not experience a rash, headache or other reaction, add in an additional 100 mg of Shilajit per day and work up to 500 mg. An average dose of Shilajit is between 300 to 500mg daily.
• Cut back on Shilajit if you experience any negative side effects. Increase your water consumption.
Use of Shilajit: -
Shilajit is composed of humus and other organic plant matter that oozes out through the rocks of the Himalaya Mountains during the spring and summer. According to the Infinity Foundation website, the sap hardens into a "compact mass of vegetable organic matter composed of dark red gummy matrix." It has a bitter taste and an unpleasant odor. Shilajit is also called shilajeet, shilajita mumiyo, mineral pitch, mineral wax, ozokerite or Asphaltum punjabianum, and is used most often in traditional Ayurvedic medical practices.
What Are the Benefits of Shilajit?
• Prevention: - Shilajit has been used to increase the health of the nervous system, to ensure liver health and to aid in mental concentration.
• Relief: - The herb eases muscle pain, as well as joint pain caused by [COLOR=#009900 !important][COLOR=#009900 !important]arthritisand gout.
• Neurological Disorders: - Seizures caused by epilepsy have been lessened in intensity and frequency while the patient is consuming shilajit.
• Internal: - On a microbial level, the herb has shown positive effects in treating blood disease, as well as viruses in the bloodstream and body.
• Strength and Weight: - Those weakened by disease have used shilajit to strengthen their bodies. It is also used to promote [COLOR=#009900 !important][COLOR=#009900 !important]healthy [COLOR=#009900 !important]weight [/COLOR][COLOR=#009900 !important]loss[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR].

Ozokerite


Ozokerite, Wasatch County, Utah
Ozokerite or ozocerite (Gr. Όζο oze, stench, and κερί kero, wax) is a naturally-occurring odoriferous mineral wax or paraffin found in many localities.
Sources
Specimens have been obtained from Scotland, Northumberland and Wales, as well as from about thirty different countries. Of these occurrences the ozokerite of the island (now peninsula) of Cheleken, near Turkmenbashi, parts of the Himalayas in India and the deposits of Utah in the US, deserve mention, though the last-named have been largely worked out. The sole sources of commercial supply are in Galicia, at Boryslaw, Dzwiniacz and Starunia, though the mineral is found at other points on both flanks of the Carpathians.
Ozokerite deposits are believed to have originated in much the same way as mineral veins, the slow evaporation and oxidation of petroleum having resulted in the deposition of its dissolved paraffin in the fissures and crevices previously occupied by the liquid. As found native, ozokerite varies from a very soft wax to a black mass as hard as gypsum.
Properties
Its specific gravity ranges from 0.85 to 0.95, and its melting point from 58 to 100 °C. It is soluble in ether, petroleum, benzene, turpentine, chloroform, carbon disulfide, &c. Galician ozokerite varies in color from light yellow to dark brown, and frequently appears green owing to dichroism. It usually melts at 62 °C. Chemically, ozokerite consists of a mixture of various hydrocarbons, containing 85-7% by weight of carbon and 14-3% of hydrogen.
Mining
The mining of ozokerite was formerly carried on in Galicia by means of hand-labor, but in the ozokerite mines owned by the Boryslaw Actien Gesellschaft and the Galizische Kreditbank, the workings of which extend to a depth of 200 metres, and 225 metres respectively, electrical power is employed for hauling, pumping and ventilating. In these mines there are the usual main shafts and galleries, the ozokerite being reached by levels driven along the strike of the deposit. The wax, as it reaches the surface, varies in purity, and, in new workings especially, only hand-picking is needed to separate the pure material. In other cases much earthy matter is mixed with the material, and then the rock or shale having been eliminated by hand-picking, the "wax-stone" is boiled with water in large coppers, when the pure wax rises to the surface. This is again melted without water, and the impurities are skimmed off, the material being then run into slightly conical cylindrical moulds, and thus made into blocks for the market. The crude ozokerite is refined by treatment first with oil of vitriol, and subsequently with charcoal, when the ceresine or cerasin of commerce is obtained. The refined ozokerite or ceresine, which usually has a melting-point of 61 to 78 °C, is largely used as an adulterant of beeswax, and is frequently colored artificially to resemble that product in appearance.
On distillation in a current of superheated steam, ozokerite yields a candle-making material resembling the paraffin obtained from petroleum and shale-oil but of higher melting-point, and therefore of greater value if the candles made from it are to be used in hot climates. There are also obtained in the distillation light oils and a product resembling vaseline. The residue in the stills consists of a hard, black, waxy substance, which in admixture with India-rubber was employed under the name of okonite as an electrical insulator. From the residue a form of the material known as heel-ball, used to impart a polished surface to the heels and soles of boots, was also manufactured.
Mining of ozokerite fell off after 1940 due to competition from paraffins manufactured from petroleum, but as it has a higher melting point than most petroleum waxes, it is still favored for some applications, such as electrical insulators and candles, or in extra-soft paper tissues.

I'm surprised they still haven't been caught on camera for the discovery channel.Originally posted by Shamaar View PostMost people believe that Salajeet was discovered by the Langur monkeys that inhabit these northern and mountainous areas. The Langur's eat the Salajeet raw. The miraculous thing about them is that they can jump from one mountain to another (yes, mountain). The distance and force required to do so would shatter their bones, but incredibly nothing happens to them. Most people say that this astonishing feat is attributed to Salajeet and it's affects on bone development.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i got it from some dodgy pakhtun from Dir that my brother knows. if your husband wants to shed of fat (hopefully he has the packs underneith the skin) he's better of using 'clenbeuterol' check it out.Originally posted by Nangialai Pashtana View Postwhere did you get it from? my husband can do with a 6 pack, not the sweaty feet though!!!----------

I'm glad to hear you got some positive results out of it. Most guys who bodybuild back home take it as well, and they end up looking pretty ferocious. Their muscles will get bigger but stronger too - not just balloony like the ones steroids give you.Originally posted by Manzareh View Postincredible stuff, i took it whilst in the gym once every 2 weeks, results?? a clearly defined 6 pack that amazed me. side effects like sweaty feet, restless nights did happen though.

what do you mean bro? didnt get thatOriginally posted by afghan View Postfor salajit lovers why should you be taking activate carbon which could be easily obtain all over the world.----------

sorry i made a mistake i did some research, there alot of scientific studies been done, has mostly positive effects if taken in purified form, unpurified form could be deadly. the himalayan salajet is considered the best, in eastern europe its sold in every drug store.Originally posted by Manzareh View Postwhat do you mean bro? didnt get that
