This episode covers the very popular and very different Ayurvedic "herb" Shilajit. Each episode covers another traditional herb from somewhere in the world and goes into great depth about it. Besides covering the basics of the herb including its traditional use and functions, we will explore the history, quality, science, pharmacology, evidence, and any potential interactions of each herb. And then there is always something a little quirky about an episode. This episode continues our discussion of great physicians of the world by talking about one of, if no the, greatest Ayurvedic doctor in history: Sushruta. Please join us for our latest herbal exploration!
