The ancient science of Vedic medicine states that Agnihotra atmosphere and Agnihotra ash are medicinal. Monika Koch of West Germany has done some research on several medicines based on Agnihotra ash. People all over the world have used these medicines successfully to treat a wide range of ailments. They are most widely used in South America and Eastern Europe. Ms. Koch offers the following guidelines for preparation of Agnihotra ash medicines:
To produce Agnihotra medicines, perform Agnihotra. Agnihotra ash is the basic substance necessary for preparation of all Agnihotra medicines.
The ashes of the Agnihotra fire have the pharmaceutical name "Agnihotra Usta" (Latin: Usta - burnt). To use Agnihotra Usta pharmaceutically, pulverize the ash, then sift it through a fine mesh. The result is Agnihotra power.
Agnihotra Powder
Externally for the skin or internally together with water or honey (two to three times a day, half a teaspoonful at a time).
Agnihotra Capsules
Fill agar capsules with Agnihotra power. This is more convenient for travel. Two to three capsules each day.
Agnihotra Ointment
Combine ghee (clarified unsalted butter) with Agnihotra ashes. Ghee is an excellent vehicle and carries the subtle healing substance exactly to the location of the disease. In a pot suitable for preparing ointment mix one part of Agnihotra powder with nine parts of ghee per weight. Externally for burns, dry skin diseases, etc., and internally for heart conditions.

Combine one part ghee with three parts pure spring or well water by volume. Knead together in a pure copper vessel with the palm of your right hand until the ghee resumes some of the water. Discard the excess water and add again three parts of pure water to the ghee. Repeat this process at least fifteen times. Then combine one part Agnihotra powder with nine parts of this water-ghee emulsion in a pot suitable for preparing ointments. This cream may be used internally or externally and has a profound effect.
| Agnihotra Eye drops Agnihotra eye drops need to be prepared anew daily. Mix one part Agnihotra ash powder with ten parts distilled water. This mixture has to be boiled on low flame for 10 minutes, afterwards pass the mixture through filter paper, triple folded close meshed cheese cloth or similar. From the solution which has passed the filter one can several times a day apply one drop into each eye and also rub one drop onto the skin around the eye. |

Combine seventeen parts of Agnihotra powder with ninety-five parts ghee. Heat the mixture until well blended and pour into molds. Solidify in refrigerator. When necessary it can be cut into a suppository form and be applied.
Agnihotra Inhalation
Mix one teaspoonful Agnihotra Usta in a cup of boiling water. The patient is to keep his head directly above the pot containing the hot mixture and deeply inhale the vapor. To concentrate the steam, the patient should put a thick towel over his head which also covers the pot completely.
