Shilajit is found in the mountainous remote areas, and the whole expedition was arranged for the search of medicinal substances. In Soviet times, the place of production of the mummy was classified at the state level. Then this substance was semi-legal status. Apparently, the party bosses were afraid that all Shilajit is not enough, and treated them themselves, and citizens were left under the care of traditional medicine.


In 1964, the Soviet government gave scientists the task of finding deposits of Shilajit in the Soviet Union.

Substance just gather with your hands, scraping it from the walls of the cave.

In order to get Shilajit, no equipment required. The inventory of matter in the nature is limited, but as for medical use requires very small doses of the mountain resin, it is believed that Shilajit to ensure human needs lacking in abundance. Most often, Shilajit is produced by the efforts of local residents who know where there are deposits of the substance.
