Your Essential Guide To Shilajit

We all must have heard of Shilajit at least once in our lifetime. Shilajit is nature’s most valuable gift to humankind. It has been in use in the Ayurvedic System of Medicine for centuries. However, people from all over the world are getting to know the health benefits of Shilajit.  But there is not much known about Shilajit. Let us unveil the unknown benefits of Shilajit. 

What is Shilajit? 

Shilajit is found on many mountain rocks,  including Himalayas,. Shilajit has been known in Ayurveda as an energy-giver, and as an anti-ageing compound. 

However, there are a lot of other benefits which we are unaware of, but are on our journey of exploration. 

Let us mention some of the known benefits of Shilajit- 

Benefits of Shilajit- 

  • Treats anaemia- Lack of Haemoglobin in the blood causes Anaemia. Iron deficiency is the reason behind this. 
    Shilajit is Iron rich and is packed with acids that are beneficial in stabilising the iron levels in the blood. 
  • Reverses the damage in the Brain - Shilajit contains powerful antioxidants that reduce inflammation, slow down the ageing process of the brain cells, and reverse damage in the brain.
    Shilajit is also helpful in Alzheimer’s disease, which is a brain disorder causing problems in memory, thinking and proper behaviour. 
  • Regulates healthy periods - The balance of the female sex hormones known by the name Oestrogen and Progesterone is successfully maintained by Shilajit. This helps the females have regular periods, without cramps and pain. 
  • Maintains bone health- Shilajit may strengthen the bones and can increase the bone density in Post-menopausal women. These women face Oestrogen deficiency, which reduces bone density. 
    As Shilajit increases oestrogen levels, it also helps relieve the symptoms of menopause, along with maintaining bone health.
     
  • Cures altitude sickness - People face breathing troubles at high altitudes. Shilajit contains more than 80 minerals that help patients with altitude sickness.
  • Protects against radiation- People who live at high altitudes are affected by UV Rays, which may lead to the risk of Sunburn, skin and eye cancers. Shilajit, due to its photoprotective action, can help treat the skin and eye disorders that are caused because of solar radiation. 
  • Keeps you younger - Shilajit does this by controlling the ageing process and maintaining your vitality. This is because of the presence of fulvic acid, which is one of the key constituents of shilajit, has anti-inflammatory properties and functions as an antioxidant. Thus, it reduces the cell damage in your body and also the production of free radicals in your body, both of which cause ageing.
  • Maintains blood sugar levels - Shilajit has glucose-lowering properties. It increases the production of insulin by the pancreas naturally and reduces the breakdown of starch into glucose.
  • Reducing stress and anxiety Levels- Shilajit increases Dopamine secretion in the brain. This reduces anxiety and stress levels. It also has a calming effect on your body due to the high levels of Potassium and Magnesium present in it. 
  • Is a strong antiviral - Shilajit contains a range of minerals that boost the immune system and fights various kinds of viruses. 
  • Protects your gut - Shilajit protects your gut from inflammation and oxidative stress. Due to benzoic acid in it, gut infections are prevented. 
Other than these, there are lot many benefits that are still under the process of finding scientific evidence .
