Shilajit, Shilajatu, Sila Jatu, Saileya, silaja, saila, dhatuja, silamya, sila sveda Moomiya, Mumie, mineral pitch, in English translations of Ayurvedic works Asphaltum punjabinum (asphalt from Punjab). Ayurveda identifies many kinds of shilajit, such as gold (Swarna), silver (Rajata), copper (Tamra) and iron (Loha).

“Silajatu originates from four metals- gold, silver, copper and black iron and is slightly sour (acid), astringent in taste (alkaline?) Katu in Vipaka (digestion) and is moderate (neither too hot nor too cold) in virya. This rasayana in effect and if applied methodically it is aphrodisiac and alleviates diseases. Its potency enhances if its is decocted in the paste of drugs which are meant for the alleviating the diseases arising out the imbalances of vata, pitta and kapha.” ~ Caraka Samhita

Known since ancient times as an almost miracle rejuvenative where traditions state that shilajit (purified and added with other herbs) can according to the Caraka Samhita “cure any chronic or obstinate type of diseases” (Puri 2007). It is said to have originated from the celestial friction when the king snake Vasuki Naga was being used by Gods and Demons to churn during Samudra Manthana Mandaracala (churning of the ocean). In the Rasanarva the origin of shilajit is expounded upon by Lord Shiva, saying that the origin of the drug is from the summer season where the mountain gets heated and releases the extract of the exudate of Dhatu called shilajit (Varanasi 2007). Other myths, also suggesting the origins of the time of the Samudra manthana, is that the God and demons, due to the friction and heat of the churning produced a sweat. The sweat of the gods mixed with the divine nectar, and the drug was distributed in small quantities in the mountains, melting in the suns rays and called lac or jatu giving shilajit its name. The word shilajit in Sanskrit means “exuded from the rocks” or “winner or sweat of the rocks” (early Europeans thought it was fossilized plants that have been exposed to the sun) and while there are many kinds, Puri satates that most kinds present today in the market and in India appear to be of the iron type. He describes it as light blackish brown, lustrous and with a smell of cow’s urine, burning without smoking and settling in water. The adaptogen and tonic products have been studied deeply in Russia, China and in Europe and many countries have their own unique fulvic acid based products. Russian cosmonauts and athletes take regular doses for training and many Olympic athletes swear by its stimulating and healing effects. Shilajit is a yoga vahin (potentiating another drug when added later) which makes it a popular addition to make energy and aphrodisiac products.Shilajit, Shilajatu, Sila Jatu, Saileya, silaja, saila, dhatuja, silamya, sila sveda Moomiya, Mumie, mineral pitch, in English translations of Ayurvedic works Asphaltum punjabinum (asphalt from Punjab).
