Sit at the Agnihotra fire and breathe in the smoke, which quickly enters the lungs and the bloodstream. This has an excellent effect on the circulatory system, especially when the ash is ingested. The smoke has a good effect on the brain and nervous system, revitalises the skin and purifies the blood. It has the ability to neutralise pathogenic bacteria, bringing the micro flora back into balance. Basically, it is a holistic remedy for good health and life.

Plants that are growing in the Agnihotra atmosphere, receive nourishment and growth will improve. Flower and fruit production is enhanced as well as a reduction in plant diseases. The ash can be used to condition the soil, neutralising the chemicals and replacing lost minerals.

Just as Agnihotra pyramid fires give nourishment to plants, they provide the same for humans and animals. The ash can have beneficial effects when ingested or when rubbed on the skin. It contains all the minerals needed for life.

The sun is the energy provider providing the conditions conducive to an anti-pollutionary change. The pyramid is the generator or turbine. The organic substances (dung, ghee and rice) provide the fuel. Combining this with the vibrational effect of the mantra, and your intent, the Agnihotra fire can help to physically and energetically heal the environment.
