We are back with another blog on Shilajit, to add to the immense benefits of Shilajit. Previously we have discussed the benefit of Shilajit for the brain, heart, anemia, oral health, women's health, and a lot more. While all these have been related to shilajit being used as a supplement, Shilajit can also be used externally as we discussed in our blog related to skin and hair. Its excellent composition allows it to become more than just a food supplement but rather a complete healing treatment for the body and mind.We will discuss here how Shilajit can be used for improving sinus health. Read on for more details on this.
What is Shilajit? 
Shilajit is a natural substance found mainly in the Himalayas. Exuding from sedimentary rocks (largely in the Himalayas) shilajit is a pale-brown to blackish-brown exudate, composed of rock humus, rock minerals, and organic substances that have been compressed by layers of rock mixed with marine organisms and microbial metabolites. Said to carry the healing power of these great mountains, shilajit has been used for over 3,000 years as a rejuvenator and adaptogen in a variety of conditions.
Shilajit can also be used as an external applicator for some illnesses like ear infections or Sinusitis. Season changes are liable to bring with them minor infections, flu, etc. Your stuffy nose that just isn’t getting better, might be a sinus infection, also called sinusitis
SINUSITIS

Allow the resin solution to stay in your nose for 3-5 minutes. Slightly move your head from left to right to ensure that the solution is dispersed into the sinuses.

Consumption of Shilajit:
Raw or unprocessed shilajit may be contaminated with heavy metals or fungi that can make you sick. Studies indicate that shilajit consumption without preliminary purification may lead to risks of intoxication given the presence of mycotoxin, heavy metal ions, oxidant agents, and free radicals, among others.
