Shilajit has been used for ages in Ayurvedic medicine and other traditional medicines, in the treatment of bronchial asthma, diabetes, impotency, genitourinary disorders, wound healing and stomach ulcers.
People in the Himalayas use Shilajit to combat cold stress and as a tonic.
Shilajit is a well tolerated, safe and non-toxic multiple mineral. If desired, it can be given for fairly long periods without any known danger of toxic effects on any organ or tissue of the body.
