Found at high altitudes within some of the great mountain ranges of the world, Shilajit (Asphaltum Punjabianum) is cultivated when microbes digest a mixture of minerals and decomposed plants over time, creating a dark, sticky resin. While its specific phytochemical makeup varies depending on the region it is harvested from, Shilajit is considered a panacea (a remedy for all diseases) in Ayurvedic medicine because of its effectiveness in the treatment of various ailments. In the west, Shilajit is becoming a popular herb for rejuvenation and beyond.
