Ayurvedic practices recommends mixing it with warm milk or gently melting it in warm (not boiling) filtered water for a few minutes. It's essential to use filtered or demineralized water without pollutants like chlorine, as shilajit might amplify its effects, which could be harmful to health. Shilajit can also be paired with honey or directly consumed by melting it under the tongue. Our Shilajit contains pure Shilajit mixed with demineralized water to make it more liquid/ fluent.
