Shilajit
YEA
HELL YEAH
Shilajit is a rare tonic herbal substance collected by local inhabitants in the Himalayas and as far north as Russia. It has been used for thousands of years as a tonic. Shilajit is regarded by many herbalists as the most important natural tonic substance of Ayurveda (the traditional Indian health care system). In Sanskrit, Shilajit means "conqueror of mountains and destroyer of weakness." Shilajit is an exudate that oozes out of cracks in the Himalayan rocks and cliffs in the summer months. It is composed of organic plant material that is thought to have been compressed by rock for hundreds of years. After it is collected, it is naturally purified, concentrated and processed into a potent, high-quality extract. Shilajit is extremely rich in plant-source organic minerals. Most assays show that Shilajit, depending on its source, contains between 70 and 85 complexed minerals and trace elements. Shilajit is a humic substance, humus being the natural material that is formed when soil microorganisms decompose organic material into elements usable by plants. Shilajit is astoundingly rich in nutrients, antioxidants, amino acids, and phytochemicals. The main active component in Shilajit, to our knowledge, are macromolecules known as fulvic acids. Shilajit is extremely rich in fulvic acids (Dragon Herbs Shilajit, from high altitude in the Himalayas, contains approximately 40% fulvic acids). Fulvic acids are one of natures most astounding and miraculous molecular substances, perhaps second only to DNA in its importance to life on this planet.

also most "ancient" medicine is pure fiction invented in the 60s-80s. Especially the Chinese stuff, which was pushed by Maoists in attempt to glorify Chinese culture over Western stuff.

Mao literally invented a lot of it lol

Shilajit 2 quit

Honestly pure Shilajit is made from these long-buried veins of plant-digested Himalayan rock only found at certain altitudes and after earthquakes - arguably there's no soil / humus quite like that anywhere else.

It's the Destroyer of Mountains :rock:

Shilajit is the secret ingredient in my homemade energy drink, and my initial inspiration to try it out from online retailers came from listening Jimmy Hendrix's Voodoo Chile. :coolfish:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3296184/ posted:

Shilajit is composed mainly of humic substances, including fulvic acid, that account for around 60% to 80% of the total nutraceutical compound plus some oligoelements including selenium

Other molecules present in shilajit preparations are eldagic acid, some fatty acids, resins, latex, gums, albumins, triterpenes, sterols, aromatic carboxylic acids, 3,4-benzocoumarins, amino acids, polyphenols, and phenolic lipids

Its molecular composition varies from region to region. Newer investigations based on high-performance size exclusion chromatography (HP-SEC) show that shilajit contains specific molecular species of polysaccharides and lignins . As humic components, humins, humic acids, and fulvic acids are found in all shilajit preparations, being the last one, fulvic acids, the biologically active compound, along with dibenzo-α-pyrones, which acts as carrier of other substances

this seems like one of those things like saffron that despite a ton of people talking about it most of them dont really knows what the gently caress it actually is.

How about this one



All placenta would be the source of life and all placenta is a powerful source of Jing. However, some placenta is considered superior to others, based upon the experience of Chinese herbalists over the centuries. Traditionally, four types of placenta have been commonly used in Asia: human placenta, deer placenta, goat placenta and sheep placenta. Human placenta is considered to be the most perfect Jing tonic, but is not used in the United States as a dietary supplement except by those individuals who harvest their own placenta after giving birth and consume it as a restorative Jing tonic.

Some cultures feel it's good for the supporting family to cook and eat the nutrient-rich placenta after a woman gives birth, but personally my favorite placenta-practice involves burying the afterbirth under a tree so the child and tree become connected. :angel:

Personally I believe that when a woman's water breaks she should eat like two magic space brownies and see how her trip to the hospital goes, and to not feel so bad if she forgets to ask what they're doing with all the excess body tissue afterward.
