Scientific Aspects of Agnihotra: Human Health
Previously we have covered the effects of Agnihotra and Homa Therapy on our environment (atmosphere, soil, water resources), on plants and agriculture, on biodiversity and on animals. Now let us look into the implications of Agnihotra and Homa Therapy for Human Health.
Scientific Aspects of Agnihotra: Animals – Fish
Agnihotra and Homa Therapy have a profound effect on all Nature, bringing it back to Harmony. This also means there will be beneficial effects in the animal kingdom.

Scientific Aspects of Agnihotra: Animals – Earthworms
We previously have discussed two of the three best farmer’s friends: Cows and bees. The third of these animals are earthworms. Earthworms play a decisive role in improving and maintaining good soil health – and as we have seen before soil health is of utmost importance for survival of mankind (see Homa Health Newsletter 133 […]

Scientific Aspects of Agnihotra: Agriculture – Biodiversity (Part II)
How does Homa Organic Farming help to calm down this “storm on the horizon”, to bring Nature back to Harmony, to restore biodiversity? Reports from farmers and scientific studies give some answers. Let us start with an observation Rita and Thomas Hirt made on their Homa Farm in Rippistal, Switzerland. When they started the […]
Scientific Aspects of Agnihotra: Agriculture – Biodiversity (Part I)
Since more than a decade now a dramatic decline of bee population has been noticed worldwide. Now we learn that a similar decline can be found regarding all insects. Recently an alarming study was published by scientists from Germany, Great Britain, and the Netherlands. Insects were captured in nature reserves throughout Germany and counted. […]
Scientific Aspects of Agnihotra: Agriculture – Food Quality (Part II)
Now let us see whether Homa Farming has a positive effect on the nutritional value also. Again we find a lot of information in the four M.Sc. theses done at Dharwad Agricultural University (Karnataka, South India). Homa Farming methods were compared with organic methods (without Homa) and with conventional farming methods. The crops planted […]
Scientific Aspects of Agnihotra: Agriculture – Food Quality
For good health, proper diet with nutritious vegetables, fruits, and grains is of great importance. But it seems that with the food produced nowadays our bodies often do not get all the micronutrients they need to maintain good health. Several recent studies show that there is a decline in nutritional value of vegetables, fruits, […]
Scientific Aspects of Agnihotra: Agriculture – Pests and Diseases
Vedic Knowledge says that when we perform Agnihotra, a channel is created above the pyramid, going up 12 kilometres. Prana energy – Life Energy – which lies above our atmosphere comes down through this channel. Because of pollution this flow of Prana energy might be blocked otherwise.
