Fire ritual is a medicine for all diseases with unknown origins as well as क्षय.
I won’t spend time explaining role of GABA, Serotonin, NMDA Receptor, Nitrix oxide , antioxidants and 5-HIAA in optimum health state. Go and google about it. What I will share here is the role of अग्निहोत्र/Homa/Havan in helping us maintaining the optimum state.
The constitution of the WHO states “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.[1]
This may sound exaggerated but positive mood within the normal range is an important predictor of health and longevity. In a classic study, those in the lowest quartile for positive emotions, rated from autobiographies written at a mean age of 22 years, died on average 10 years earlier than those in the highest quartile.[1]
Even taking into account possible confounders, other studies “found the same solid link between feeling good and living longer.”12 In a series of recent studies, negative emotions were associated with increased disability due to mental and physical disorders,22 increased incidence of depression,23 increased suicide24 and increased mortality25 up to 2 decades later. Positive emotions protected against these outcomes. [1]
Don’t wait for mimicking west when they prove the invaluable importance of sacrificial fire in our life. Go back to roots. Learn and perform Agnihotra daily.
Western medicine is working hard to come up with nasal pathway based medicines. It is stupid to torture digestive track by chemicals for chemical engineering hide and seek in body.

Btw, we have not even considered benefits of Ghee and cow dung here!!
