Ayurvedic Properties & Common Uses

In Ayurveda, Shilajit is classified as a potent Rasayana with Katu (pungent), Tikta (bitter), and Lavana (salty) rasa, and Ushna (heating) virya, making it especially effective for balancing Vata and Kapha doshas. It is traditionally used to enhance strength, stamina, immunity, metabolism, and overall vitality.

Shilajit Purified Stone undergoes Shodhana (classical purification) before use and is incorporated into Rasayana preparations, compound formulations, and rejuvenation therapies. Dosage and method of administration are strictly guided by Ayurvedic texts and expert supervision. This form is preferred for traditional pharmacies, premium formulations, and export-grade herbal mineral applications.
