Agnihotra:
Agnihotra is a sacred fire meditation rooted in Ayurveda. This ancient practice is performed precisely at sunrise and sunset, imbuing the atmosphere with healing energy. Scientifically proven to reverse pollution, Agnihotra holds the power to heal not only the environment but also people, animals, and plants. In Sanskrit, “Agni” translates to fire, while “Hotra” signifies healing.
Agnihotra Ash Medicine: The ash resulting from Agnihotra holds remarkable medicinal properties. Enriched with Prana (life force) and a perfect balance of micronutrients, it has been analyzed by NASA labs, revealing the presence of 92 elements essential for health, including trace elements in ideal proportions. Countless reports from medical doctors in South America attest to the healing effects of Agnihotra ash, even in cases of supposedly incurable diseases. It can be consumed as a medicine by either drinking it with water or applying it as an ointment. Additionally, Agnihotra ash can be beneficial in farming and horticulture, significantly enhancing the overall health and productivity of plants and trees while improving soil conditions.
Chrystalotherapy:
Chrystalotherapy, also known as crystal healing, is a holistic and non-invasive system of energy-based healing. It encompasses the entire person and their interconnected energy system. Through the use of crystals, which absorb, focus, direct, detoxify, shift, and diffuse energy, this therapeutic practice interacts with electromagnetic forces and subtle vibrations within the human or environmental energy field. Crystal healing promotes healing, relaxation, and overall well-being, offering a profound and rejuvenating experience.
