Due to the rising awareness and high demand, the vendors have started supplying lower quality or an impure form which can harm be quite harmful to your body! Since Shilajit is originally present inside the mountain rocks that are rooted in earth’s soil, there is a natural occurrence of  different soil related contamination. If Shilajit is not purified properly, it may contain bacteria, spores, or toxic heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury which can even cause kidney or liver damage.

Some health specialists also advice that people with heart related diseases especially those with low blood pressure should avoid the use of Shilajit as it further lowers the blood pressure.

Low quality Shilajit that is abundantly being sold in market can even be found at 2000m (apx 6500ft)  above the sea level, and highest quality even at 5500m (apx.18000ft) .

To produce the highest quality Shilajit, it is extremely important to have a great Shilajit source as environment greatly effects the purity of Shilajit rock. In high altitudes there are less risks of soil related contamination from the common result of the use of chemicals and fertilizers and even the transportation relate hazardous smoke that penetrates into the earth and even into the Shilajit rocks.   It is the why at Healing Shilajit we test our Shilajit in world’s best US and AU labs for safety.

Shilajit  must be purified with techniques which will not only decontaminate it but also will preserve its valuable original minerals and micro-nutrients essence!  Most of the top rated Shilajit sellers claim to have safe tested Shilajit but we at “Himalayan Healing” believe that modern technology or chemical filters kill the spirit of Shilajit.  There is no known test to evaluate or measure the full micro nutrients in Shilajit , it is a hidden secret what lies inside each bottle – it is really the high nutrition, the 85 mineral they claim or is just energy fillers? We go for centuries old 100% natural indigenous Shilajit procedures keeping in mind that Shilajit quality in fact differs on the basis of mineral count and we cannot kill its spirit by washing away its minerals by exposing it to chemicals!

The use of authentic Shilajit is centuries old process in Greater Himalayas and indigenous people have been preparing it by 100% natural methods bringing it down from the pristine Himalayan mountains. According to paper submitted to the American Medical Association Journal by Dr. Robert McCarrison, not a single member of this Burusho community have ever suffered from any form of cancer. The Hunza people also experience incredibly prolonged fertility with some women giving birth naturally at sixty-five years old.
