Waking Times
The Himalayan Mountains have a sacred history closely tied to Tibetan Buddhism and other religions, and have shaped many of the cultures in South Asia. Within this mountain range, believed to be the abobe of Gods and Goddesses, from the cracks in between the rocks oozes a tar-like substance called Shilajit, name that means “nectar of God”.
The oral history of how indigenous tribes of the Himalayas found Shilajit, and why they decided to consume it, changes based on who is telling the tale.

Shilajit is essentially comprised of fresh and modified remnants of humus – the characteristic organic constituent of soils. This thick, black resin is formed out of over 6500 species of ancient plants that decomposed and compacted under the weight of the mountains.
