A full-colour guide to the healing uses of the natural substance Shilajit

Shilajit explores how to use this remarkable substance for a strong immune system, enhanced cognitive performance, protection from toxic stress, healing inflammation, and anti-aging benefits.

The book presents a scientific analysis of the many cell-protecting, antioxidant, and vitalizing compounds found in Shilajit. It examines the different forms and dosages, and explains how to combine it with other health supplements to enhance its extraordinary benefits.

This complete guide provides a fact-based portrait of Shilajit, a substance with a long-standing tradition in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, along with Russian folk medicine.

Shilajit has been highly sought-after for centuries in Asia, yet the Western world is only just beginning to discover it. In its pure form, it is a brownish-black homogenous mass with a smoky aromatic smell, primarily found in the Himalayas. After extraction, it is processed for internal use in the form of capsules, tablets, or powder.

Containing many antioxidant, cell-protecting, and vitalizing components, Shilajit helps stabilise and maintain health. This full-colour guide explores its use for a strong immune system, enhanced cognitive performance, protection from toxic stress, and the healing of inflammation. It also examines Shilajit’s anti-aging benefits, how it stimulates the immune system, and the protection it can provide for a sensitive stomach and gut.

Wolfgang Windmann, PhD, shares his deep knowledge of the properties of Shilajit based on almost thirty years of experience, and his background in natural science and pharmacy.
