MANAGEMENT OF ATMOSPHERE AND HEALTH USING HAWAN TECHNIQUE – A
REVIEW

Abstract- Hawan is a Sanskrit word which refers to any ritual that involves making
offerings into a consecrated fire. It is a scientific experiment in which special herbal/plant
medicinal preparations (Hawan Samagri) are offered in the fire of medicinal woods ignited in
a specially designed inverted pyramid shaped fire pit or container (called agni-kunda). The
specific shape and size of the agni-kunda, the arrangement of wood pieces in it, the time-
frequency and amount of Hawan Samagri account for controlled chemical processing in the
fire and lead to sublimation, chemical conversion and/or transformation into vapour phase
of the herbal/plant medicinal preparation leading to release of medicinal phytochemicals.
The decomposition and transformation (into vapour or gaseous phase/colloidal forms, etc)
of specific substances in the yagya-fire enter the human body in a gaseous form through
the nose, lungs and the pores of the skin. This is the easiest, least taxing, least risky and
most effective method of administering a medicine so as to reach every single cell of the
body.
The scientific studies conducted on various components of Hawan clearly
demonstrates that Hawan was designed for multifaceted action to clean the environment as
well as to cleanse the body from the toxins. Hawan fumes are not only used for the
disinfection of air but also it can be environmentally oppressed for the physical, mental,
intellectual and spiritual development based on nanotechnology of Hawan.
Key words: Hawan, Hawan samagri, environment, health, CNS, etc.
