Description
Shilajit (often misspelled as “Shijalit”) is a female sexual wellness herb which has been shown to be pharmacologically active. This herbal sexual wellness herb also known as Asphlatum is most effective in both short and long term and has shown to be most effective or most popular for women. It’s a staple in the Ayurvedic Medical System, and is often blended with Ashwagandha to intensify its effects. In modern terms, Shijalit is considered a superior libido and overall sexual wellness herb to increase desire. According to the literature, it’s often given to women who are experiencing low sex drive.*
It’s not considered an adaptogen, but is often blended with Ashwagandha, which is an adaptogen. We blend all of our Shilajit with Ashwagandha for maximum effectiveness.
Shilajit & Ashwagandha is known to be the “perfect herbal coupling”, because when these two herbs are blended together, support for stamina and strength increases considerably, according to published studies. Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) is also known as Indian Ginseng. Two translations that seems appropriate to mention are these:
- Ashwagandha literally means “the power of a stallion” in Sanskrit.
- Shilajit means “rock like”, which is in reference to the human body
Herbs don’t get common names by accident!
Shilajit is an ancient plant resin from the Himalayas. This plant “pitch” (resin) has been created over centuries of plant life recycling back into the rich soils of the Himalayan mountains. Generation after generation of plant life absorb different spectrums of nutrients, then give them back to the soil. Over time, the remains of all this plant life builds up and becomes known as Shilajit. The trick is to get the good stuff out and to leave the bad stuff behind.
Here at Sextracts Sexual Wellness, we buy only the highest grade, lab-certified Shijalit available. Our supplier has a patent on their extraction process, and produces Shijalit of incredible quality. When we blend it with our organic Ashwagandha powder, we craft a truly unique and powerful female sexual wellness product.
In fact, Asphaltum has such a reputation in India, that some Yogis feel it has divine powers capable of healing the body of virtually any ailments. Many yogis call blends with Shijalit in them “Elixirs of Life”. Both ancient Chinese and Indian literature call this resin “Amrit”. Anecdotally, it’s supposedly not uncommon to find Indian Yogis over 100 years old in the Himalayan regions, who have maintained youthful vigor and stamina well beyond their years.
Scientifically speaking, one of the key components of Shilajit are the 85 minerals in ionic form, as well as fulvic acid. Fulvic acid is necessary in the dilation of cell walls, which transport nourishing minerals into the cells. Dietary supplements are of little use if our bodies cannot absorb them, and fulvic acid is a key chemical in helping facilitate that. Minerals are key catalysts in the absorption of vitamins. So, any deficiency in minerals, means that body will likely have a vitamin deficiency as well. It can effectively prolong cell life and keep it healthy for a very long time. No wonder the Indian Yogis called it as Amrita or the Elixir Of Life.
Asphaltum is nourishing to the body and has the added benefit of being a popular sexual stimulant as well. This is why Sextracts Sexual Wellness expertly blends all of our Shilajit Singles with just enough Ashwagandha to make the perfect balance. Men have also found benefit from the rejuvenating properties of Shilajit and Ashwagandha capsules, but it is mainly for women.
