In other words, Shilajit is a non-renewable resource, and more and more of it is being consumed. Obviously, the moment will come when the supply of this remedy will simply run out.
Some experts argue that at the current level of consumption, the Shilajit will disappear from our planet in 100-150 years, some experts express the opinion that humanity will lose a unique natural remedy in 25-30 years.

What did the wise men of the past write about the healing properties of Shilajit? Why, over the years of research, this “miracle of nature” has not been fully studied? Let's take a look at some historical sources:

Pine nut harvesters set up a camp or build temporary housing in a remote forest to arrange a place for storing, peeling, and sifting the collected pine cones.
Collecting shilajit is a hardworking process since the deposits of this natural product are located high in mountainous areas. But the extraction of raw shilajit is only the first stage on the way to obtaining a finished remedy.
To obtain a pharmacological balm, it is necessary to properly purify the natural substance. The preservation of the healing properties of the shilajit depends on how accurately the cleaning technology is maintained. Improper purification reduces all the beneficial properties of the shilajit to zero.
In its natural form, shilajit is a raw material from which a biologically active substance is extracted. Also, pure shilajit, raw natural material contains various impurities (sand, remnants of rocks, etc.).
The purification of raw natural resin is carried out using water vaporization, Triphala decoction, centrifugation, and evaporation. After using these purifying techniques, impurities settle or float and are then eliminated. Let's take a look at each of the methods in more detail
