MARTIN: Greetings. This is Martin Pytela for Life Enthusiast podcast, life-enthusiast.com and with me today is Rehmannia Thomas. Rehmannia is the founder of Supertonic Herbs, a Chinese tonic herbs specialist. You may have heard the previous podcast that I did with Rehmannia. Well, today, a very interesting story. There is a book. Welcome, Rehmannia.
REHMANNIA: Hey there. How you doing, Martin? Good to see you.
MARTIN: Good. I’m really thrilled to know that you actually have put to paper all the research you have done into
Shilajit.
REHMANNIA: Yeah, I wrote a book about it.
MARTIN: Yeah. What’s the subtitle there?
REHMANNIA:
Shilajit, The Resin Of Life.
MARTIN: Of life.
REHMANNIA: Pretty much straight to the point.
MARTIN: Like, we’re not mincing the words here. We’re going all in.
REHMANNIA: Yeah. Yep. Right to the core.
MARTIN: Yeah. Well, okay, so I guess we don’t want to give it all away. We want people to want to read the whole book. Right.
REHMANNIA: An interesting thing about
Shilajit is that I think you can really get it in a nutshell because the discussion is very clear about what it is. Yet, you could study the ramifications and the details forever, and it’s wonderful.
MARTIN: Actually. Maybe we should try and explain, this is a tonic, right? This will lift everyone in every possible way. Right?
REHMANNIA: Yeah. In my lineage of Chinese herbalism, we refer to them as tonic herbs, which means, it’s an old Greek word meaning when you tonify, you’re tuning the strings of your instrument into harmony. So they actually kind of knew about the idea of everything needing to be in harmony. Well,
Shilajit comes from the Ayurvedic tradition, not the Chinese, so it’s from India. But it is considered the same. It’s quantified the same. It’s termed, “Rasayan” which means the same thing as a tonic herb. It’s overall uplifting to work holistically on the entire organism, both mind, body and spirit.
