The Story of ShilNepal: From the Mountains to Melbourne - shilnepal story
I speak like a villager from Namche Bazaar because I am one. I carried yak-bags up narrow trails, I listened to elders talk about strength and clear mind, and I learned how shilajit is more than a product - it is a small part of our life. Now I live in Melbourne and bring that honest mountain work to Australian homes. This is my shilnepal story, told simply and from the heart - dai, bahini, listen.
A Namche way of collecting - the mountain method
In the high cliffs, elders find the resin after snow melts and sun warms the rocks. Our collection is gentle and patient. We do not mine fast - we harvest where resin seeps naturally, by hand. This part of the shilnepal story is important because respect for the land keeps the resin true.
- Collected by trusted villagers who know the cliffs
- Only natural seeped resin is taken - no heavy machinery
- Small batches to keep quality and traceability
The traditional purification - shodhana and sun-drying
Back home my amma showed me how we clean the resin with old Shodhana methods - plant washes, repeated rinses, and patience. After purification we sun-dry the resin on clean trays until it is stable. We keep this tradition because it keeps the taste, smell, and the meaning. When I send tins to Australia I still follow those steps.
Testing and honesty - why purity matters
When I first came to Melbourne, customers asked simple questions: is this real? is it safe? I learned to answer with tests, not only words. Every batch is checked for heavy metals and authenticity in a lab before I pack into 30 g tins. I want people to trust what comes from our cliffs, and trust is the heart of the shilnepal story.
The checks we do:
- Heavy metal screening
- Authenticity markers for true Himalayan resin
- Batch traceability and freshness dating
How I pack and ship - from villagers to your kitchen
We send small, fresh tins so the resin keeps its character. I pack each 30 g tin by hand, label the batch, and include simple instructions in Nepali and English. If you want to see our values and where we started, visit https://shilnepal.com - I wrote our story there in plain words.
Using shilajit in everyday life - simple tips
I tell people to start small and listen to their body. My family uses a tiny rice-grain amount in warm water or ghee in the morning when we need strength for long days. Here are few friendly notes:
- Start with a rice-grain sized amount and increase slowly
- Take with warm water, milk, or ghee for better absorption
- Store in a cool place - the 30 g tin is perfect for home use
