In Ayurveda texts - the Indian system of herbal medicine several important medical and therapeutic benefits of shilajit are mentioned. It was recommended for the treatment of diabetes, anemia, ulcers, wound healing, bronchial asthma, other allergic disorders, hemorrhoids, spleen enlargement, liver diseases, epilepsy, renal calculi, gastro intestinal disorders, sexual dysfunction, prostate hypertrophy, genito urinary disorders, mental debility, physical weakness and geriatric (old age) problems.
One of the widely accepted benefit of shilajeet is that of an aphrodisiac. Shialjeet is known to boost vigor, vitality and even quality, motility and count of sperm in men. Shilajith slows down the process of aging. recently researches conducted by some universities have shown that shilajit could be very beneficial in preventing and halting Alzheimer's disease and similar types of dementia.
It is difficult to comprehend how a single product can be effectively used to treat so many diseases. The clue of versatile therapeutic benefits of shilajit can be found in it's ingredients and mechanism of action. It contains more than 80 minerals in highly bio available ionic form and an important humic acid component known as fulvic factor. Fulvics effectively penetrate the tick cell walls and transport vital nutrients deep into cell walls. Shilajit overall can be considered as a potent adaptogen and an immuno modulator significantly augmenting cell to cell communication.
Benefits of enhanced Learning and memory: Administration of shilajit in Albino rats enhanced learning acquisition and memory retrieval. It also improved cognitive functioning and induced significant anti anxiety effects. This action of shilajit is due to effective communication between immune system and the central nervous system. It reinforces the image of silajit as a medha rasayan (elixir to improve memory and learning)
Benefits in Alzheimer's disease: Shilajit is used in the Indian system of medicine to attenuate cerebral function deficits including amnesia in geriatric patients. Administration of shilajith in Alzheimer's induced rats caused reduced Acetyl choline esterase staining. AChE is an important neurotransmitter and Alzheimer's patients have reduced level of this neurotransmitters. Shilajit by reducing the staining of AChE increases it's levels in the brain and thereby enhances cognition and memory in Alzheimer's disease patients. Shilajit might be a better alternative medicine to treat Alzheimer's disease and dementia as compared to prescription AChE inhibitors.
Anti stress and adaptogenic effects of Shilajeet: Chronic stress of a mild but unpredictable nature which the subject is unable to cope is clinically more relevant than acute stress. It ultimately results stress induced physiological disturbances and diseases ( called psychosomatic diseases) .Shilajit in various studies showed significant anti stress and anti ulcer effects.
Shilajit as an anti craving agent: Smoking, addiction to drugs, alcoholism, carbohydrate (carb) craving, over eating are basically actions to escape stress by humans. It is most often not under voluntary power of the hunas to control such activities. Agents that function as cognition enhancers and anti stress adaptogens function as anti craving agents. Shilajit and Ashwagandah (also known as Withania Somnifera or Indian Ginseng) are strong candidates for eliciting this effect.
