How ShilNepal Ensures Purity and Authenticity - shilnepal purity process
Namaste. I am from Namche Bazaar, a small village where I learned to read the mountains and listen to the elders. My hands remember where the resin hides in cracks, and my heart remembers the respect we pay to the land. Now, living in Australia, I bring that same care with me. In this post I will show you, simply and honestly, how our shilnepal purity process moves resin from Himalayan cliffs into a clean 30 g tin you can trust, dai-bahini.
From cliff to village - careful collection
We do not rush. Collection starts with local villagers who know the seasons and the safe routes. Resin is hand-scraped from specific rocks where elders say the sap gathers. We sort on the cliff - only the darkest, aromatic pieces go into our first boxes. This is the first step of the shilnepal purity process - choosing good raw material.
shilnepal purity process - traditional Shodhana and sun-drying
Shodhana is an old method, used in our village for generations. We combine gentle washing, natural solvents used historically, and careful heating to remove unwanted matter while preserving the resin’s strength. After purification, we sun-dry the resin on clean cloths under clear mountain sun - a slow, natural drying that keeps the aroma and potency. This traditional stage is central to our shilnepal purity process.
Short steps you will see in our process:
- Hand selection on the cliffs - remove obvious impurities
- Initial cleaning and sorting in the village
- Traditional Shodhana purification - gentle, repeated steps
- Natural sun-drying on breathable cloths
- Final lab testing for heavy metals and authenticity
- Fresh packaging into 30 g tins right after testing
Lab testing and transparency
We do community care, but we also use modern tests. Every batch is tested for heavy metals, microbial contamination, and basic fingerprinting to confirm Himalayan origin. I know testers in Kathmandu and some labs we trust in Australia. Test results are kept with each batch - if you ask, we will show you. This combination of village methods and modern testing completes the shilnepal purity process.
Why small batches and quick packing matter
We package in small 30 g tins so the resin is fresh when it reaches you. After drying and testing, we pack quickly to avoid moisture or long storage. Small batches mean more attention from the people who know the product best - the same family hands that pulled resin from the rock. The smell, color, and smooth feel are simple checks any villager would use - and we use laboratory checks too.
How to recognise honest resin
Here are a few simple checks you can do at home, like an elder would:
- Look for deep, glossy dark color and a clean, earthy aroma.
- Warm a small piece between fingers - real resin becomes soft and oily, not brittle or powdery.
- Ask for batch test results or a note about heavy metal testing.
- Buy from a source that describes collection and purification honestly.

FAQ
Q: What is the shilnepal purity process?
A: It is the full journey - selection on the cliffs, traditional Shodhana purification, sun-drying, and lab testing for safety and authenticity.
Q: Are heavy metals tested in every batch?
A: Yes. Every batch is tested for heavy metals and microbes before packing. We keep the reports and share them on request.
Q: How do you ensure the resin is Himalayan?
A: Origin is checked by the collectors' knowledge, the mountain-scent, and lab fingerprinting when needed. Our methods are traditional and verified.
Q: How should I store my tin after opening?
A: Keep the tin in a cool, dry place away from direct sun. Use a dry spoon to take a small amount and reseal tightly to keep it fresh.
