Product of the Earth Depths Degassing

The word Shilajit was used long before the appearance of the Arabic, ancient Greek and Persian cultures. The word Shilajit is of Greek origin and means something safeguarding or protecting body. The Arabs call Shilajit as mountain sweat, in India and Burma it is called as mountain blood, in Tibet, Mongolia and Transbaikalia – cliffs juice, and in Siberia and Altai it is called as mountain oil or stone oil. It is important to note that all the manuscripts indicate that Shilajit originates in the mountains.

The relationship of Shilajit with earth depths was clear to ancient people. The Shilajit ores can be found in the city of Gorno-Altaysk, Tuvinian, Khakass and Yakut Regions, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Tian Shan, Pamir, Caucasus and the other regions with Shilajit ores at heights of 1500 up to 4000 m above the sea level in the full absence of biological world (flora and fauna).

According to the latest data, Shilajit develops from the stream of elementary gases (Í2, ÑÍ4, N, CI, CO) in gneissic granite domes together with fossil ores of tungsten, molybdenum, gold, mercury, barium, copper, ferrum, silver etc. Fawn drab powder (primary un-oxidized Shilajit) develops on the rock plates, which will be washed off with meteorological precipitations in the open and closed traps (cracks, holes, rock shelters) having an instant connection between themselves and being exposed to intensive tectonic processes. Next, Shilajit will be dissolved by crack and combined water, and saturated with minerals with its subsequent redeposition and accumulation in trough-like depressions such as pockets, cavities, bunches, caves and interstices (retinoid ores of the primary oxidized and secondary resinous Shilajit). In the warm season the warmed-up mass silts through the mountain cracks forming icicles and sinters and then it flows down by drops in the liquid state to the cave bottom, accumulates, consolidates and petrifies.

Thus, on the basis of the big experimental material and results of the Shilajit chemical study, the scientists have proved that Shilajit represents a product of the earth depths degassing and is a natural well-balanced mixture of water-soluble organometallic compounds with the following apparent biological properties: antibacterial, hepatoprotective and immune modulating properties etc.
