However, most suffer in silence when things are not quite right, due to embarrassment. This embarrassment is even stronger in menopausal and post-menopausal women compared to younger ones.
Far from talking to their healthcare practitioner or friends, they are too embarrassed to discuss the matter even with their partner.
1 in every 4 menopausal women admitted they make excuses to avoid sex.
“I feel so bad for my better half… he tries initiating, I don’t reciprocate, and I pray he falls asleep”
Today, we want to tell you something that should be obvious, but isn’t:
Wanting a
fulfilling sex life is healthy and normal AND,
menopause and
post-menopause are natural life stages.
Both are true and can go together.
Give us 4-5 minutes of your time and you'll discover exactly how you can stop being roommates and go back to being lovers!
To begin, you need to understand the reasons that got you here in the first place (hint – it’s just one):
The Real Reason: Hormonal Shifts
In straightforward terms – it's your hormones! But naturally, it's rather more complicated than that. Hormones play such a crucial role in your body that any shift creates cascading effects which show up in unexpected places.
Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone (yes T! Remember this, we will come back to it later) are all important for sexual desire as well as the body’s response to stimulation.
All of these hormones decline with age, particularly after 40. Estrogen levels fall sharply at menopause while others decline more gradually.
This hormonal decline affects you in three important ways:
Physical:
Drop in estrogen can lead to vaginal atrophy – thinning of vaginal tissues, reduced elasticity, and dryness.
1 in 2 postmenopausal women experience painful intercourse due to vaginal dryness
Weight gain and body composition changes in menopause can also lower a woman’s energy and confidence.
Neurological:
The brain is a woman's most important sex organ. And menopausal hormonal shifts can literally change the brain.
Estrogen affects serotonin and dopamine levels, which can dampen sex drive or arousal response.
Hypothyroidism (common in midlife) can cause fatigue and low sexual interest.
Emotional Wellbeing:
Libido is closely intertwined with mental wellbeing.
Midlife psychological stresses – caregiving for aging parents, “empty nest” adjustments, or financial concerns can elevate cortisol.
Cortisol notoriously dampens libido by suppressing sex hormones.
The end result of all the above?
someone flicked a switch.
So where do you go from here?
The social stigma as well as misinformation around libido and menopause is appalling. The sad reality is that most women never end up getting help…
All of this can cause identity loss, as you wonder if that part of your life is over for good.
“So sad to think I’ll live out the rest of my life, not enjoying one of life’s greatest pleasures.”
“I'm no longer the sexual being I was for 40 years of my life and I feel like I'm 12 again.”
And on top of that comes…Guilt & Fear.
The guilt of denying a partner or worse, fear of intimacy becoming a source of conflict.
“I can feel my sexuality slipping away and that scares me.”
“I miss being that woman. The woman I was in my 20's.”
Unfortunately, for the few women who do gather up the courage to reach out for help, it can be even more frustrating –
Most doctors have simply not been trained to fully address women’s issues, especially when it comes to the bedroom.
“At 40 I would have LOVED if a doctor told me what to look for, ahead of time.”
“The lack of education surrounding menopause blows my mind… finding a competent doctor was so difficult for me!”
And if you were among the lucky ones to have found a doctor who was okay to have the ‘dreaded talk’, you quickly found out that the solutions on offer were at best underwhelming and at worst, harmful.
Estrogen creams:
Don’t work for many women. And anyways they help only with symptoms, not desire itself.
Pills:
Even worse in terms of efficacy. Come with side effects like fatigue and dizziness. Best case scenario, they’re over-priced sleeping aids.
Hormone Replacement Therapy:
HRT has been gaining traction in some circles recently. While it has its own share of side effects like acne, facial hair, voice change etc., HRT does help with menopause related issues like hot flashes and night sweats. It may also help with vaginal dryness.
But that's typically where the benefits of HRT stop.
Remember we mentioned Testosterone earlier? Well, this is where we bring T back into the discussion.
You see, only 2 forms of HRT are currently FDA-approved in the US:
Estrogen only, or
Estrogen + Progesterone
So, what’s missing? –
TESTOSTERONE!This is really important, because testosterone is the only hormone specifically shown to boost postmenopausal women’s libido.
Go ahead and read that again. We’ll wait.
The North American Menopause Society acknowledges that testosterone therapy can increase sexual desire in postmenopausal women with HSDD
In the United States and many other countries, government agencies that regulate medicines haven't approved testosterone therapy for women.
– Mayo Clinic
Research
So, is there any hope at all or are menopausal and post-menopausal women destined for a sexless, guilt-ridden existence for the rest of their days?
There is.
Show Me What WorksIn Ayurveda – the ancient Indian wellness tradition – there's a natural solution.
It's quite difficult to find, as it forms naturally only on Earth's highest mountain peaks.
But it’s an elixir so potent that it finds special mention in the Kama Sutra:
There are many stories around its origins, from the mythical…
“It was gifted by the Gods to humanity, as the ‘Nectar of Immortality’”
…to the more practical:
“Villagers saw frail, sickly monkeys going up the mountains every summer, having the elixir and returning strong and full of vitality.”
Its earliest mention is in Ayurvedic texts from the 1st millennium BC. And it has been rediscovered by many civilizations ever since.
All the way from Greece, where it was called Ozokerite, to Tibet where it was referred to as Brag Zhun, everyone knew about the mineral resin from the ‘Indian mountains’ that provided countless benefits.
But let’s come back to how Shilajit is relevant for you. Specifically, for your desire, your energy, and how connected you feel in your own body.
Isn't Shilajit Just for Men?
No. And for women, it may be one of the most overlooked ways to get your mojo back.
Shilajit is only for men who want to increase muscle size or need help down there?
Shilajit works brilliantly for both men and women. For some reason, nobody talks about the traditional benefits that Shilajit has been used for in women.
We honestly have no idea why.
Here are the benefits of Shilajit, specifically for women:
Hormonal Balance:
Shilajit does not contain any hormones, YET it has the remarkable ability to increase Estrogen, Progesterone AND Testosterone levels – the very hormones tied to your desire and how your body responds to intimacy.
That’s because it is a hormone modulator. Which means it doesn’t senselessly increase or decrease hormone levels.
It is (somehow!) able to bring all the hormones, into balance.
For women with falling hormone levels, this means that Shilajit will likely increase not just Estrogen and Progesterone levels, but also Testosterone levels, by just the right amount.
The result: Improved desire, arousal, lubrication, blood flow, orgasm and satisfaction. Shilajit can help women with both their physical and mental readiness for sex.
Bone Health:
Shilajit aids mineral deposition in bones, a real plus for menopausal osteoporosis.
Brain Health:
Shilajit supports mental and cognitive function. It has been traditionally used by students preparing for exams as well as older individuals looking for mental sharpness, a better memory and focus. Studies have explored how Shilajit may support cognitive function as we age.
Inflammation:
It combats inflammation due to its strong antioxidant profile.
Stress and Mood:
It has natural forms of Magnesium and Zinc, which help reduce the secretion of stress hormones and increase dopamine. Since stress hormones are known to quietly work against desire, calming them may help clear the path back to intimacy.
Immunity & Gut:
Supports immune system and gut health via fulvic acid content.
We could go on, but this article is getting rather long.
Sounds promising, doesn't it? This is all based on well-researched information and traditional use.
Science is just beginning to study this wonder-resin. And the more they study it, the more evidence they find.
But, you’ve got to be careful, because this is where a lot of people trip up.
Because they think that all Shilajit is created equal, they just hop over to Amazon or TikTok and pick up the cheapest Shilajit they can find.
Big Mistake!
You see, Shilajit comes from mountain rock. And like all things that come from the earth, it contains some impurities.
And what’s more, with the increasing levels of pollution globally, even pristine Himalayan peaks haven’t been spared.
This means that you need to be very sure of the quality of Shilajit that you are putting in your body.
And that’s why you need the expertise of Ayurveda AND modern science to come together.
Why We're Different: Authentic Ayurvedic Expertise Meets Modern Testing
We must humbly state here that we are experts on Ayurveda.
Our in-house Ayurvedic practitioners know exactly where to source and how to purify Shilajit, using time-tested techniques written in ancient texts.
But we then verify the results using modern scientific tools – third-party laboratory testing.
Our Shilajit is 3rd party tested THREE TIMES.
First, at the raw material stage.
Second, at the finished goods stage.
Finally, we test the final product again at a completely different 3rd party lab, just to be absolutely certain.
We do all this to ensure that what you receive is absolutely top shelf Shilajit.
Because reclaiming your sexuality shouldn't mean gambling on a mystery jar off Amazon.
Certificate of Analysis included in every pack – so you can verify the quality yourself.
CAUTION:
We strongly urge you not to spend your hard-earned dollars with companies that
know nothing about Ayurveda. They are likely getting swindled by their wily suppliers, with
low-grade, sub-standard Shilajit. The product is ineffective at best or, worse,
can cause adverse effects.
And there’s more!
The Perfect Complement: KSM-66® Ashwagandha
To complement the effects of Shilajit, we have added the highest quality Ashwagandha that’s available, in just the right proportion.
Since women's low libido is multi-factorial, this powerful herb helps you cover every angle – hormones, stress, energy, and confidence – so desire has room to come back on its own terms. 😊
We all know that Ashwagandha shines in stress and sleep support.
But did you know about its libido-boosting benefits?
A 2022 randomized placebo-controlled study of 80 women (18–50 years, with low desire) found that eight weeks of ashwagandha led to significant improvements in sexual function across all domains – desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and reduction in pain.
Research
And Shilajit, in turn, supercharges Ashwagandha in all of the above. You see, in Ayurveda, Shilajit is considered a Yogavahi – a catalyst if you will. It increases the effects of whatever you take with it.
Shilajit can literally drive the nutrients of Ashwagandha deep inside your cells, where it wouldn’t have reached otherwise. Thus amplifying its effects.
This is how we outshine the competition:

How to Consume Ashwa Resin?
Shilajit is definitely an acquired taste. But this is exactly why we have added natural vanilla from vanilla beans and real honey sourced directly from bee farms.
This honey-vanilla resin has a more neutral taste, especially when mixed with warm water.
The best part about Ashwa Resin however, is that you can enjoy it with almost any beverage of your choice – Teas, smoothies, your morning green drink, milk or even your morning joe.
Or try our favorite option: scoop straight from the jar and chase with beverage of choice!
SUGGESTED USE:
Take one serving (pea-sized, 1g) once or twice daily, mixed in warm water, tea, coffee, or milk. Best taken in the morning or early afternoon.

FAQ’s
Shilajit is a semi-solid, dark colored substance. Formation begins with plant matter being buried underground at very high altitudes. Microorganisms break down this plant material and it further mixes with mineral components in mountain rock. Over centuries this mixture is subject to extreme pressure, temperature changes, and the unique mountain environment.
Thus, Shilajit is born.
Given how it is formed, it can accurately be called the essence of the earth itself.

Shilajit works for both men and women. Big corporates have led us to believe that Men and Women simply cannot use the same product. So they can sell us 2 products instead of 1.
In clinical studies, shilajit has been shown to increase the female hormones (Estrogen and Progesterone) in women. In men, it tends to increase Testosterone by a large amount and in women, by smaller amounts. That’s the beauty of this resin!
You could try them; however, the evidence is extremely weak for all of them.
Maca is often marketed for libido, but the best positive signal is in medication-induced sexual dysfunction. Broader libido results are inconsistent across small studies.
Black Cohosh and Red Clover: Both are primarily studied for hot flashes and vaginal discomfort. Large reviews conclude insufficient or modest benefit for vasomotor symptoms – and they don’t consistently improve sexual desire itself.
Compare that to the evidence-backed improvements in women’s sexual function provided by both Shilajit and Ashwagandha, and you have a clear winner.
Short answer: we don’t – on purpose.
Resin is the original, minimally processed form of Shilajit that keeps all the full-spectrum actives intact and potent.
And it keeps out all the sugars, gums, and fillers that gummies and capsules need.
Ashwa Resin has five ingredients and zero artificial anything.
And about the taste: we fixed that. Ashwa Resin blends purified Himalayan Shilajit with KSM-66® Ashwagandha, real honey, and natural vanilla from real vanilla beans.
It’s aromatic, pleasantly earthy, and designed to be stirred into warm water, tea, coffee or milk (or sipped straight and chased).
Think “new morning brew” – caffeine-free, habit-free, energy-forward.
If you want results, not candy, resin is the right call.
Our Shilajit undergoes multiple rounds of testing, both in-house as well as at independent 3rd party labs. Here is a brief summary of tests we carry out –
| S. No. | Test | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Organoleptic | Confirms appearance, aroma, and texture consistency |
| 2 | Qualification of Gallic Acid | Serves as a chemical marker of successful purification |
| 3 | Fulvic Acid | Confirms bioactive potency and standardization |
| 4 | Heavy Metal Testing | Tests for Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic and Mercury to ensure there is no risk of heavy metal toxicity. |
| 5 | Microbiological Testing | Tests for Yeast, Mold, as well as pathogens such as E.coli, Salmonella spp., P. aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus |
| 6 | Pesticide Testing | Ensures raw materials are safe as per USP |
| 7 | Aflatoxin Testing | Ensures safety against these poisonous carcinogens |
| 8 | Gluten Testing | Ensures safety for gluten-sensitive individuals |
| 9 | GMO Testing | Confirms natural, non-GMO ingredients |
| 10 | Stability Testing | Ensures that this product maintains its intended quality, safety, and efficacy throughout its shelf life. |
Further we only manufacture our products in FDA-registered, GMP facilities that are audited regularly for food safety compliance.

This combination is a Godsend for mid-life women’s libido. Here’s why:
#1 Ups Desire & reduces Stress
Shilajit has been shown to improve desire, arousal, lubrication, blood flow, orgasm and satisfaction.
Ashwagandha has consistent human clinical evidence reducing stress and cortisol. That matters here because cortisol is the same stress hormone that quietly suppresses your sex hormones – and with them, your desire.
Also, a 2022 study found Ashwagandha led to significant improvements in sexual function across all domains – desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and reduction in pain.
Women also reported more frequent satisfying sexual encounters.
Yay!
#2 Provides Energy & stamina
Midlife women typically report energy dips that blunt desire. Shilajit has human data supporting better resistance to fatigue and connective-tissue support, due to enhanced mitochondrial energy output.
#3 Menopause-specific symptom support
Whether you’re dealing with the ‘vaginal sahara syndrome’ or painful intercourse, these ingredients will help improve lubrication and reduce inflammatory markers down there and in the rest of the body as well.
In Ayurveda, Triphala itself is a potent herbal formulation with many health benefits.
In this delicate process, a Triphala water solution is first prepared. The raw Shilajit is dissolved in this solution and then filtered to remove impurities.
This process is repeated up to 7 times.
Finally, the water solution is evaporated slowly, leaving behind purified Shilajit.
As per Ayurvedic texts, Triphala both cleans and activates the Shilajit.
And lab analysis confirms this – tests show measurable differences after Triphala-śodhana. Gallic acid content (an antioxidant) in shilajit goes up!
In summary, this expert method (i) cleans the resin, (ii) conditions it, and (iii) leaves an analytical trail you can verify in lab reports.
Most women find taking one serving of Ashwa Resin in the morning works beautifully – stir it into your warm water, green tea, or morning beverage of choice. It fits easily into your existing routine and gives you a consistent, energized start to the day.
For your second serving, we recommend taking it in the late afternoon or early evening. This timing allows ashwagandha’s natural calming properties to gradually take effect, helping your body unwind so you can enjoy deeper, more restful sleep by night.
As with any new routine, start with one serving and see how it suits you before adding the second.
Ashwa Resin is a build-you-up formula. This means that you will see some effects within days, while others will take longer to kick in.
You may start noticing steadier energy and less stress in 1–2 weeks, early libido shifts by weeks 3–4, and the fuller “this is working” effect by weeks 6–8, with deeper stamina benefits continuing through 12 weeks.
Every woman is different, so these effects may vary for you.
And of course, if you’re on medication, have a thyroid condition, or are under care for a health issue, check with your clinician first.

…my grandparents wouldn’t even say menopause, they called it ‘the change’
…even as they grieve the loss of their youthful sexuality –
My once “awesome, wonderful” orgasms have become “small and underwhelming” – the very saddest part of menopause
not being able to orgasm is so frustrating! Worse than no libido, because you want to, but can’t enjoy it.
Or it goes the other way –
It’s gone like someone flipped a switch. I have zero interest! … I don’t even think about it anymore.
I don't want to be 0/10 on libido. I went from 9/10 at 45 years to 0/10 at 47! It’s so sad.
