Shilajit is a natural substance that forms over centuries through the decomposition of plant and microbial matter in mountainous regions, primarily the Himalayas. The intricate process through which Shilajit is created involves several stages:
1. Formation: Shilajit begins its journey as a resinous exudate from rock formations in high-altitude areas. These formations, rich in organic plant material, contribute to the unique composition of Shilajit.
2. Decomposition: Over an extended period, plant material, including mosses & other organic substances, undergoes decomposition. Microbial activity further transforms this matter.
3. Pressure and Heat: The combination of geological pressure and the warmth of the sun plays a crucial role. Under these conditions, the decomposed plant material undergoes a transformation, eventually leading to the oozing of Shilajit from the rocks.
4. Collection: Shilajit is collected manually from rocks or crevices where it has exuded. The raw material is a sticky, tar-like substance that varies in color, texture, and mineral content depending on its source.
5. Purification: The collected Shilajit undergoes purification to remove impurities, rocks, and other debris. This step is essential to ensure the quality and purity of the final product.
6. Shilajit Drying: After purification, the Shilajit is left to dry. Exposure to sunlight facilitates the evaporation of excess moisture and solidification of the substance.
7. Shilajit Processing: The dried Shilajit may be processed into different forms, such as resin, powder, or capsules. Various methods, including filtration and extraction, may be employed to concentrate beneficial compounds like fulvic acid.
