Śilājatu originates from four metals – gold, silver, copper and black iron and is slightly sour, astringent in taste, kaṭu in vipāka and is moderate in vīrya. This is rasāyana in effect and if applied methodically it is aphrodisiac and alleviates diseases. Its potency enhances if it is impregnated with decoction of drugs alleviating vāta, pitta and kapha either singly or in combination. (48-50)
