Known as the "black gold of the Himalayas," Shilajit, or mumijo, is a
brownish-black substance found in the mountains of central Asia with a
peculiar, smoky-aromatic smell, reminiscent of the oils of various
juniper plants. Taken internally in the form of capsules, tablets, or
powder, Shilajit is a traditional Ayurvedic remedy with remarkable
healing benefits that are only just beginning to be studied by Western
doctors and scientists.
In this full-color practical guide, Wolfgang Windmann, Ph.D., explores
Shilajit's many physical and mental benefits, from stimulating the
immune system and combating inflammation to protection from toxic stress
and improving cognitive performance. He looks at Shilajit's anti-aging
benefits and the protection it can offer for a sensitive stomach and
gut. He explores its history as a therapeutic treatment in different
healing traditions throughout Asia, including its use in Ayurveda,
Chinese medicine, and Russian folk medicine, and how it is now readily
available around the world.
Offering a scientific analysis of the compounds found in Shilajit, the
author explains how it is formed and extracted and how it is composed of
many cell-protecting, antioxidant, and vitalizing substances, including
many minerals and amino acids. He explores how Shilajit can be used for
prevention and specific treatment, including for bone fractures,
osteoporosis, stomach and gut diseases, mineral deficiencies, impotence,
allergies, and dementia, as well as to improve mental focus and
performance.
Detailing how to use Shilajit for self-care and self-healing, this guide
also looks at its different forms and dosages and how to combine it with
other health supplements to enhance its extraordinary benefits for the
immune system and for counteracting the harmful effects of modern
lifestyles.
