You Asked, We Answered

1. What is Shilajit?

Shilajit is a unique and valuable substance that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda, which originated in ancient India. It is a sticky, tar-like resin that is primarily found in the mountainous regions of Central Asia, including Afghanistan's Badakhshan province, where some of the world's highest-quality shilajit is produced.

1. Shilajit's Historical Use:

Shilajit has a long history of use in various cultures for its purported health benefits. Its first recorded use dates back over 3,000 years in ancient Indian texts like the Charaka Samhita and Susruta Samhita, where it was referred to as a "conqueror of mountains and destroyer of weakness." It was considered a panacea for various ailments and was often used as a rejuvenating tonic.

Shilajit is formed through a complex natural process over centuries. It is primarily found in high-altitude mountainous regions, including the Himalayas, Altai, Caucasus, and Pamir mountains. Badakhshan province in Afghanistan, part of the Pamir mountain range, is renowned for producing some of the highest-quality shilajit in the world.

2. Where does AFGHANO Shilajit come from?

AFGHANO Shilajit is sourced directly from the pristine mountains of Badakhshan, Afghanistan. Badakhshan's geology is rich in minerals and organic matter, making it an ideal environment for the formation of shilajit. Our commitment to purity ensures that you receive the finest quality Shilajit, untouched by pollutants. Badakhshan, located in northeastern Afghanistan, is blessed with a unique geological setting that gives rise to Shilajit of unparalleled quality. The region's high-altitude mountains and diverse flora create the perfect conditions for the formation of this remarkable substance. Over millennia, plant matter trapped within the rocky layers decomposes and undergoes a natural transformation, resulting in the rich and mineral-packed Shilajit we offer today.
