How Do You Decide Which is Better: Shilajit or Ashwagandha for Wellness? - #21786

Bella

I am really curious about the whole shilajit vs ashwagandha thing cause I've been hearing so much buzz lately. So, I've been tinking about my health and what supplements could help boost my energy and mental clarity, you know? Like, I’ve tried a few things, but I ain't seen the results I expected. I read that shilajit is supposed to be this mineral-rich substance that comes from the Himalayan rocks — sounds kinda crazy right? But I’ve also heard ashwagandha could provide some major stress relief and might help with my sleep issues. Anyway, just to give you a bit of context, I've been feeling really worn out, dealing with tons of work and personal life stress, plus I'm juggling some minor health issues. A friend of mine swears by shilajit and tells me it helps him feel more energized during his workouts, while another buddy is all about ashwagandha, saying it totally chilled him out when he was dealing with anxiety. So, back to the question; which is better shilajit or ashwagandha? I'm kinda confused because I read somewhere that they each have distinct benefits. Shilajit supposedly is great for physical stamina and vitality, while ashwagandha is more holistic, targeting mental wellness, right? But like, if I just want to feel better overall, which one should I try? I just don't wanna waste my time and money on something that doesn't deliver, ya know? Plus, can you mix the two? It’s pretty darn overwhelming with all the info on these supplements. I guess I am just looking for some clarity, like from someone who’s tried both — or at least educated in Ayurveda! What do u think works better in different situations? How do shilajit and ashwagandha stack up against each other when it comes to boosting mood, energy, and overall health? If you've had any personal experiences with either one, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks! Hopefully I can finally find the right path to better health.

Hello Firstly ashwagandha is herb Whereas shilajit is mineral Definitely shilajit has a more potency than ashwagandha But ashwagandha mainly acts on stress , any mentally disturbed like depression anxiety issues etc Shilajit mainly acts on physical stamina and acts rejuvenation to body also. So better start with Ashwagandha rasayan 1/2tsf-0-0 in morning Shilajit capsule 0-0-1 after food Thank you

I don't have any personal experience as I didn't used it. For some of my patients I prescribe both silajeet vati and aswagandha. I didn't recived any complaints regarding side effects. I will prefer aswagandha leham initially with milk in case of general weakness and fatigue. Yeah you can take both silajeet and aswagandha simultaneously.
