Ancient Mountain Wisdom In A Jar
Shilajit is truly one of the most ancient natural tonics on record. Its usage stretches back over millenia, across all the great civilisations where it is found naturally emerging from the mountains — through Asia, Siberia and Persia. The oldest confirmed use is in Ayurvedic texts dating back over 3,000 years. Our Shilajit comes from the Siberian Altai mountains (pictured above), a vast and mystical range that connects to the mountains in the Himalayas, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and the Caucasus — like a great dragon snaking its way across the Earth.
The name Shilajit translates from Sanskrit as “the conqueror of mountains” or “destroyer of weakness born from mountains.” In ancient Vedic legend, it was said to be the blood or sweat of the mountains, formed when the Himalayas weep under the sun’s heat over centuries. Mountains were viewed as living deities, and Shilajit was considered their sacred secretion.
In Persian traditions, it’s known as Mumiyo, meaning “to protect or preserve” (yes, like mummification!). It’s referred to in Arabic texts as “the juice of the mountain,” where it was also believed to be a heavenly gift, and was widely revered in Tibet, Mongolia and Siberia for its mystical properties.
What is Shilajit?
It’s essentially ancient, mineral-rich mud — decomposed plant matter that has fermented and compressed over centuries in the crevices of mountain rocks. According to traditional folklore, injured animals such as monkeys and goats were seen climbing the cliffs to lick the resin that oozed from the stone. Villagers, observing their rejuvenation, began to harvest it for themselves.
It's long been considered sacred and rare, and only recently has it become more widely available in the West, thanks to growing interest in tonic herbalism and adaptogens.
What Does It Do?
⚡ Energy Boost & Mineral Transport Shilajit is prized for its high fulvic acid content — a potent electrolyte and chelator that enhances mineral absorption and supports mitochondrial energy production.
🧽 Detox & Gut Support It also contains humic acid, which works synergistically with fulvic acid to bind toxins, aid heavy metal detox, and strengthen the gut lining.
🌱 Replenishes Depleted Soil Nutrients Modern agricultural practices have stripped our soil of vital nutrients, meaning even organic produce can lack minerals. Pair that with the onslaught of chemicals found in our food, water, and through chemtrailing, and you can see why extra support is essential if we want to achieve true health and vitality. Shilajit offers an impressive 80+ trace minerals in ionic, highly bioavailable form — no other food offers the same full-spectrum mineralisation.
🌿 Rare Adaptogenic Compounds Shilajit contains Dibezopyrones, fascinating compounds that amplify fulvic acid’s effects and act as adaptogens. Shilajit and medicinal mushrooms are the only known sources of this unique Earth intelligence.
🌍 Primordial Earth Connection Energetically, consuming Shilajit reconnects us to ancient Earth wisdom. It enhances oxygen flow, boosts nutrient uptake, and supports cellular function. It’s like eating the essence of the ancient forest.
What to Look for When Buying Shilajit
Not all Shilajit is created equal. High-quality Shilajit should contain a high percentage of fulvic acid — ideally 60–80%, which is the component responsible for its deep cellular absorption and detoxifying power. Ours contains 77% fulvic acid and 6.9% humic acid, making it one of the most potent and bioavailable forms available. You should also look for Shilajit that is:
• Authentically sourced from high-altitude mountain ranges (ours comes from the Altai Mountains)
• Purified using traditional, solvent-free methods
• Lab tested for heavy metals and contaminants
• In its pure resin form, not diluted with fillers, powders, or capsules
Avoid products that are overly processed or unclear about their source — true Shilajit should have a rich, tar-like texture, a deep earthy taste, and dissolve easily in warm water or tea. This is a living substance, and you should be able to feel its vitality.
🍫 How To Take It
Kate, in her naturally magical way, has created some beautiful Shilajit recipes, including her famous Chocolate Mud Pie and the soon-to-launch Shilajit raw chocolate bar.
But the simplest way to consume it is as a hot tonic:
-
Dip a teaspoon in hot water before scooping out the sticky resin (it softens it!)
-
Use a pea-sized amount in a cup of hot water or milk
-
Add your favourite natural sweetener if desired
Want to get fancy? Add it to our Creamy Hot Chocolate recipe — it’s divine.
👉 How big is a pea? It depends on your body — we always recommend starting with a grain, and working your way up to a chickpea-sized dose if it feels right.
