How to take shilajit the traditional way

Purified shilajit resin is traditionally taken in small amounts — a piece roughly the size of a grain of rice to a pea, once a day.

Dissolve it. Stir the resin into a small cup of warm water or milk until it fully dissolves, rather than swallowing it directly.

Consistency over quantity. Traditional use favours a small daily amount over occasional large doses.

Store it right. Keep the jar sealed and away from direct heat — the resin naturally softens in warm weather and firms up again in the cold.
