when to take shilajit - #23295

Shilajit can indeed be quite beneficial for improving energy levels and digestion when used appropriately. It's understandable to feel overwhelmed with all the information out there, and timing does play a role. Shilajit is best taken in the morning on an empty stomach, but sometimes it may be adjusted according to an individual's unique needs and lifestyle. Given that you've been feeling low on energy and having digestive concerns, it's important to ensure shilajit is assimilated well. Taking it in the morning is usually recommended since it can help kickstart your day, providing energy and support to the digestive system by stimulating agni (digestive fire). To enhance its effectiveness, try taking shilajit with warm water or milk, rather than with tea, as tea might interfere with its absorption. Start your dose small if you're new to it, typically a pea-sized amount, to allow your body to adapt gradually. Observe how your body responds over the next few weeks. If you're not feeling any changes, consider switching to evenings, a couple of hours after dinner, to repair and rejuvenate your body during sleep. It's also crucial to pay attention to your diet and lifestyle alongside shilajit intake. Keep meals regular and incorporate foods that are easy to digest, prioritize a balanced diet without overeating or skipping meals. Stress reduction techniques such as yoga or meditation can aid your overall energy and digestion, too. If after making these adjustments you still don't notice improvement, it may be necessary to work with an Ayurvedic practitioner to evaluate your specific dosha type and bodily needs. Keep in mind overuse or incorrect use of shilajit can lead to imbalances, so always follow a considered approach. Sometimes, the herb might not be the culprit but other underlying issues require attention. If any discomfort arises or you're uncertain, consult a healthcare professional to ensure safety and effective use.
