SCROLL
In 18th Century Tibet, there lived a remarkable physician and scholar. He traversed plateaus, valleys and mountains, cataloguing the mineral riches of a hidden kingdom with a precision that has never been equalled.
De’umar Geshe Tenzin Phuntsog was the author of over 60 books, of which 25 covered the Tibetan sciences of healing and astrology, including the epic Crystal Rosary. We have summarised information on Tenzin Phuntsog from the original Tibetan — the texts are yet to be translated into English.
He conducted scientific expeditions across the Himalayas, recording valuable data on gold, silver, copper, iron, lithium, chromium, uranium, mercury and a multitude of semi-precious stones. Among all of these, one substance particularly appealed to him.

DISTINCT TYPES OF SHILAJIT
In Tibet, Shilajit was and still is known as Brag Zhun. During his travels, Geshe Tenzin Phuntsog discovered many sources across the Himalayas.
He separated Shilajit into five main classes, then created further sub-categories, sub-classes and sub-types. Remarkably, Tenzin Phuntsog identified and created corresponding classifications for a total of 115 different types of Shilajit. These classifications align precisely with the five types described in the Tibetan medical paintings of the Four Tantras.

HISTORY OF HIMALAYAN MEDICINE
“A physician must be very careful and very skilled to ensure that the correct kind of Shilajit is selected.”
GESHE TENZIN PHUNTSOG · 18TH CENTURY TIBET
Although you may not be in the care of a physician of Tibetan or Ayurvedic medicine, it is worth bringing your awareness to what Tenzin Phuntsog is saying. Be cautious rather than confident when reading online of Shilajit with promises of superiority. Although highly appealing, they are often just clever marketing ploys that cannot be substantiated.
You might purchase Shilajit processed using a different method, but this can carry serious risks. It could be harbouring dangerous moulds and toxins. Positive short-term effects may still be experienced, but these can run in parallel to detrimental effects hidden from normal conscious awareness, acting over a long period.
WHAT THE MASTER KNEW
The Finest Grade
Geshe Tenzin Phuntsog was honest, and very clear about what made the finest Shilajit. It has to come from only the highest grade of iron-rich raw Shilajit exudate. The Ayurvedic masters of India are in complete agreement with this Tibetan knowledge.
Raw Shilajit collected from the best Himalayan locations, purified using the correct method that includes the synergy of medicinal herbs, processing temperatures, times and heat sources — this is the only proven method to transform raw Shilajit into the legendary natural panacea.
Geshe Tenzin Phuntsog was an 18th Century master, and he showed that correct sourcing and administering of Shilajit requires extensive skill and knowledge. It is no different in the 21st Century. We have been collecting and preparing it this way for over two decades.
