DE LAS PLANTAS
1. Antecedentes
- A requerimientos del Ph.D. P.K. Pathak, Chief of the Horticulture Mission of India
y Asesor Principal del Departamento de Agricultura Orgánica en la India, la Dra.
Irma García (junio 10, 2010), nos ha solicitado que les informemos sobre cual ha
sido nuestra experiencia respecto a “el impacto de la Terapia Homa en el
metabolismo secundario en las plantas medicinales” en nuestras huertas de
la Eco Granja Homa de Olmué, ECHO de Chile.
- Los Yajñas (*) o también llamados Homa son realizados de acuerdo a un estricto
protocolo védico. Tienen efectos notorios en distintos ámbitos de la física, la
bioquímica, la atmósfera y demás componentes planetarios. Los Agnihotras (*)
son capaces de generar un campo de energía que es posible percibir, aunque aun
no sea medible. Esta energía se expande en un radio vectorial de acción en todas
las direcciones (r=14 Kms), que formaría una especie de campana, esferoide o
burbuja, donde el Yajña es realizado. Su práctica, sin duda influye en la salud y
nutrición de todos los seres vivos, en especial en las plantas y su interacción con el
medio del lugar.

y atracción de polinizadores o distractores de sus predadores y cómo el Homa
amplifica sus atributos.
Por esta razón, este Informe se propone como objetivo describir a modo sumario
sobre los efectos de la Terapia Homa en las Plantas Naturopáticas según la
experiencia acumulada en el tiempo que llevamos trabajando en los Huertos de la
Eco Granja Homa en Chile (****), tanto en Limache como actualmente en la ECHO
de Olmué.
- Para delimitar este extenso tema, también es necesario señalar 4 alcances que en
este informe nos proponemos.
2/41
3. Rol de los Metabolitos en las Plantas
[Ver ANEXO 1]

de los Yajñas, el Ghee volatilizado y los Bio-preparados con estas substancias
mezcladas o no maceraciones de hierbas y similares.
4/41
(considerados plagas) y/o infestaciones (hongos, bacterias, etc.), se puede aplicar
aspersiones de Ceniza de Agnihotra (sólida o en dilución) moviendo el rociado en
sentido contrario a las agujas del reloj y con pulverización de 2 veces al día, todo
ello siempre realizado verbalizando el Om Tryambakam Mantra (***).
Dentro del Método Homa se utilizan las cenizas de los Agnihotras y del Om
Tryambakam Homa. Estos Bhasmas se aplican en forma directa al cultivo.
El Agnihotra Bhasma es constituyente de todos los abonos orgánicos aplicados
como solución de Agnihotra al Compost, humus de lombriz y al Biosol Homa.
En la ECHO, ya es práctica generalizada el aporte de ceniza con frecuencia regular
al bulbo o taza de riego. Cada 7 días, es decir en cada fase lunar, son aportados 2
grs de Ceniza Homa, indistintamente cenizas de Agnihotra, Vyahruti Homa (*****) y
Tryambakam Homa o mezclas de ellas.
Homa Mantras. Es sabido que los sonidos armoniosos tienen profundos efectos
en el sistema sensitivo de las plantas. El efecto de los sonidos de los Mantras es
aún mayor, logran sensibilizar los sistemas más finos o conductos sutiles de las
plantas (nadis vegetales) y las hacen receptoras de las más elevadas vibraciones.
En ese ambiente, las plantas responden con mayor crecimiento saludable en todos
sus parámetros organolépticos.
Por ello, desde el punto de vista védico, los sonidos son nutrientes poderosos.
Aun más, es sabido que los sonidos movilizan. Diversos experimentos que se han
llevado a cabo, han mostrado que los sonidos, las vibraciones que los componen,
son capaces de modificar hasta la forma en que se presenta la materia.
En grado superlativo, los Mantras especiales que son correctamente pronunciados
durante los Yajñas, conjuntamente con el Dhuma de los Homa deberían expandir la
recepción de ciertos tipos de electricidades (más de una, según Shree Vasant) y
éteres e inducen una rápida elevación de la estructura nutritiva de las plantas y ello
es observable en el Huerto Homa.
[Ver Anexo 2]

liberando de a poco para ser asimilado por ellas; físicamente el humo está cargado
eléctricamente debido al Ghee y al estiércol de vaca.
Como se mencionado, los sonidos ejercen una real influencia en la materia. En el
Método Homa, al parecer los sonidos contenidos en los Mantras cumplirían el rol de
fijar o dirigir el movimiento coloidal de las moléculas del Dhuma Homa hacia las
elementos contaminantes adheridos a las moléculas propias del aire, limpiándolo,
descontaminándolo.
El efecto combinado del movimiento molecular de los Vapores (Humo) producido en
los Homa y los sonidos producidos por los Mantras logran así la disipación coloidal
(floculación natural) de los elementos contaminantes suspendidos en la atmosfera
que rodean al Huerto y al lugar donde es realizado (vecindad, smog urbano,
químicos suspendidos en el aire).
La atmósfera se limpia de tóxicos permitiendo transportar los nutrientes aéreos al
sistema de alimentación de las plantas, entre ellos además, el Prana (Ki, Chi) o
Energía Cósmica.

En esencia la evolución sideral mensual de la Luna, influye notablemente en los
cultivos, y en diferentes formas, ya se trate de luna nueva o llena o sus fases
intermedias, como asimismo su paso por el plano de la eclíptica y por las 12
constelaciones, agrupadas en los 4 elementos favoreciendo distintas partes u
órganos de las plantas: Fuego-Semilla (Aries, Leo, Sagitario), Tierra-raíces (Tauro,
Virgo, Capricornio), Aire-Flor (Géminis, Libra, Acuario) y Agua-Hojas (Cáncer,
Escorpión, Piscis).

ancho de la arista de la base menor y 14,50 cms de la base mayor, y 6,50 cms de altura. Posee 3 niveles
claramente visibles.
(**) Rudolf Steiner, austriaco, fundador de la antroposofía, educación Waldorf, agricultura biodinámica y de la
medicina antroposófica.
(***) Este mantra, uno de los más difundidos en la India esta Contenido en los milenarios textos védicos del
Rgveda y el Yajurveda. Como Yajña es un Mantra recursivo, que se repite una y otra vez, sin límite,
especialmente en Homa Contiuos, como los realizados con motivo de ciertos momentos lunares, tales como
Amavasya (Luna Nueva) y Purnima (Luna Llena).
(*****) Yajña iniciador de procesos Homa. Es realizado previo a los demás Mantras Homa, con la
única excepción de los Agnihotras, que son autovalentes. Para que un Oficiante realice este Mantra
u otros mantras Homa es requisito que el Yajamana hace realizado el Agnihotra de la Salida o
Puesta del Sol.
Además de los factores energéticos más sutiles de los Yajñas que conocen muy
bien todos los Agnihotris, podemos también mencionar varios tipos de interacciones
que se producen entre la realización de los Homa y las Plantas:
7/41
intercambio gaseoso mecánico, es decir que en este lugar sale el oxígeno (O2) y
entra dióxido de carbono (CO2) y en nuestro caso el Humo Homa. También
participa en la expulsión de agua de la planta en forma de vapor de agua a través
de su proceso de transpiración.
Es notable el efecto en la nutrición foliar que producen los Agnihotris (Oficiantes del
Homa Agnihotra que se realiza en los momentos de la salida y puesta de sol) y
Yajamanas (Oficiantes de cualquier Yajña u Homa) cuando los Homa son realizados
especialmente al aire libre en presencia de árboles decaídos o con severos
problemas de fumaginas (**) u otro ataque de insectos o enfermedades..
8/41
6. Alelopatías de las Plantas en el Medio o Ambiente Homa
Plantas repelentes. Las plantas repelentes dan algo de protección a las plantas
vecinas hasta una distancia de 80 a 90 centímetros. Mientras algunas ahuyentan
una gran variedad de insectos, otras son selectivas, efectivas en repeler una clase
particular de insectos.
El Ajo (Allium sativum, Amaryllidaceae), por ejemplo, ofende a la mayor parte de
los insectos, pero la Borraja (Borago officinalis, Boraginaceae) es célebre por
repeler a una sola clase: el gusano cogollero.
Plantas vivaces (color). También hemos comprobado que los colores en las
plantas influyen notablemente. Estas atraen a los insectos polinizadores y rechazan
a otros que son francamente depredadores.
Son plantas especiales: el caso de la Caléndula (Calendula Officinalis, Asteraceae),
Hierba de San Juan (Hypericum perforatum, Hypericaceae), Diente de León
(Taraxacum officinale, Asteraceae).

crecimiento de las Coles. Participa en la confección de un potente Purín (*) de frutas
y hierbas aromáticas que es eficaz como fungicida.
11/41
animales, cuando se utilizan en forma de té; también alejan los gorgojos de las
semillas y granos almacenados.
Su acción alelopática se ejerce través de sus aleloquimicos Cineol, Tuyona.
12/41
aparecen en primavera, muy por encima del follaje y, a menudo cubren la mayor
parte de la planta. Es una Planta trampa de la mosquita blanca. Un Purín (*) de
Ruda, 300 gr de hojas frescas en 10 litros de agua y macerado, se pulveriza para
combatir los pulgones, sobretodo los de los repollos. Diluido de 1 en 20, se
pulveriza contra pulgones. Efectivo contra la polilla y mosca negra, hongos y
escarabajos.
13/41
Gran parte de su efectividad se lo obtiene desde sus aleloquímicos: serotonina,
histamina y filosterina.
14/41
8. Conclusiones
- En una AH, las plantas reciben una nutrición adicional tanto radicular (por
percolación) como foliar por aspersión de ciertas diluciones/gasificaciones de
macerados de cenizas y vaporizacion aérea producida en los Yajñas.

ANEXOS
1. METABOLISMO SECUNDARIOS DE LAS PLANTAS
Metabolismo de las Plantas y Metabolitos Secundaros
16/41
frutos como fuente de alimento, contribuyendo de esta forma a la dispersión de
semillas.
a) Compuestos fenólicos.
Los flavonoides (del latín flavus, "amarillo")) son los compuestos más conocidos
de este grupo. Son compuestos hidrosolubles, presentes en las vacuolas celulares
de las plantas (los flavonoides son sintetizados en el citoplasma y luego migran
17/41
hacia su destino final en las vacuolas celulares), que tienen funciones de protección
contra la luz ultravioleta, defensa ante el herbivorismo y pigmentación.
Los flavonoides se biosintetizan en todas las "plantas terrestres" o embriofitas, y
también en algunas algas Charophyta.
Los flavonoides son responsables de la resistencia de las plantas a la fotooxidación
de la luz ultravioleta del Sol.
Se han contabilizado alrededor de 9.000 flavonoides. Entre los flavonoides más
conocidos están las antocianinas, pigmentos de las flores y frutos de muchas
plantas, especialmente de color rojo (frambuesas), púrpura y azul (arándanos,
moras).
Los flavonoides incoloros suelen acumularse en las capas más superficiales de las
plantas y captan hasta el 90% de las radiaciones UV, impidiendo los efectos nocivos
de estas radiaciones en los tejidos internos.
Otros flavonoides, como los taninos, protegen a las plantas generando sabores
desagradables para los herbívoros, principalmente amargos, o texturas que pueden
resultar desagradables para los herbívoros, que se ven estimulados a elegir otras
plantas.
b) Terpenoides.
Pertenecen al grupo de los terpenos y cuando los terpenos son modificados
químicamente, por ejemplo por oxidación o reorganización del esqueleto
hidrocarbonado, suelen denominarse terpenoides (como la vitamina A o retinol, que
contiene un átomo de oxígeno).
Estos lípidos se encuentran en toda clase de seres vivos, y son sintetizados por las
plantas para participar en numerosas interacciones bióticas.
En las plantas los terpenos cumplen muchas funciones primarias: algunos
pigmentos carotenoides son terpenos, también forman parte de la clorofila y las
hormonas giberelina y ácido abscísico.
Los terpenos de las plantas son muy apreciados por sus cualidades aromáticas.
Juegan un rol importante en la medicina tradicional y en los productos herbolarios
naturopáticos, con posibles efectos antibacterianos.
Los monoterpenos que son los principales componentes de los aceites esenciales
de los vegetales y son inhibidores de crecimiento más abundantes que han sido
identificados en las plantas superiores. Los monoterpenos son mejor conocidos
como componentes de las esencias volátiles de las flores y como parte de los
aceites esenciales de hierbas y especias. Son conocidos por su potencial
alelopático contra elementos herbóreos que proliferan entre las plantas de cultivo.
Entre los más frecuentes con actividad alelopática se pueden citar el alcanfor.
Dentro de las plantas que los producen podemos citar a los géneros Salvia,
Amaranthus, Eucalyptus, Artemisia, y Pinus.
Entre los terpenos encontramos a las saponinas, glucósidos de esteroides o de
triterpenoides, llamadas así por sus propiedades como las del jabón: cada molécula
está constituida por un elemento soluble en lípidos (el esteroide o el triterpenoide)
y un elemento soluble en agua (el azúcar), y forman una espuma cuando son
agitadas en agua.
En general, parte del rol de los Terpenos en las planteas es realizado a través de
los aceites esenciales que son característicos de los Magnoliales, Laurales,
18/41
Austrobaileyales, y Piperales, y también de otros poco emparentados con éstos,
como Myrtaceae, Rutaceae, Apiales, Lamiaceae, Verbenaceae y Asteraceae.
c) Compuestos nitrogenados.
Son metabolitos secundarios de las plantas sintetizados, generalmente a partir de
aminoácidos, por ello son nitrogenados.
Este grupo incluye aquellos principios activos de plantas medicinales que derivan
directamente de aminoácidos, son los heterósidos cianogenéticos y los
glucosinolatos.
Los más conocidos son los alcaloides, como la cocaína, la morfina, la atropina, la
colchicina, la quinina, cafeína y la estricnina. En los seres vivos, actúan sobre el
sistema nervioso central, y algunos también afectan al sistema nervioso
parasimpático y otras al sistema nervioso simpático. Su alta capacidad tóxica hace
que se mantengan alejados depredadores naturales de las plantas.
También las Betalaínas son metabolitos secundarios nitrogenados. Estas actúan
como pigmentos rojos y amarillos presentes en algunas plantas. Las betalaínas
cumplen funciones de atracción de polinizadores y dispersores, y probablemente
juegan un rol en la absorción de luz ultravioleta y protección contra depredadores
herbívoros. Las betalaínas y las antocianinas son mutuamente excluyentes, por lo
que cuando se encuentran betalaínas en una planta, estarán ausentes las
antocianinas, y viceversa.
19/41
2. LOS MANTRAS HOMA
Las vibraciones existen en todas partes. Donde hay vibración allí hay sonidos. Todo está compuesto
de vibraciones, si nos fijamos en el mismo. Donde hay vibraciones allí también es sólida. Cuando
recitamos Mantras, los sonidos crean condiciones especiales en la atmósfera, se obtienenen
importantes resultados esperados.
Esas vibraciones existen por todas partes. Así cualquier situación puede ser activada, bien
controlada o cambiadas mediante los Mantras.
Cuando los Mantras son realizados en conjunción con el Fuego Homa, las vibraciones de los Mantras
penetran en el Bhasma (ceniza) y por lo tanto, la Ceniza Homa se convierte en aún más potente.
A continuación, los Mantras Homa principales, transliterados con el Método IAST, International
Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration:
Vyāhruti Homah
Bhūh Svāhā, Agnaye Idam Na Mama

1. Background
- At the request of Ph.d. P.K. Pathak, Chief of the Horticulture Mission of India and
Chief Counsel of the Department of Organic Agriculture in India, Dr. Irma García
(June 10, 2010) asked us to inform about our experience about that which was
denominated "impact of Therapy Homa in secondary metabolism of
medicinal plants" in our orchards of the Eco Homa Farm of Olmue, ECHO - Chile.
-Yajñas (*), also called Homa are made according to a strict Vedic Protocol. They
have noticeable effects on different fields of physics, biochemistry, planetary
atmosphere and other components. Agnihotras (*) are capable of generating a field
of energy that is possible to be perceived, but not to be measured. This energy
expands into a vector range in all directions (r = 14 km), which would form a kind
of bell, barrel or bubble, where the Yajña is made. Its practice undoubtedly
influences health and nutrition of all organisms, in particular in plants and their
interaction with the environment of the place.
-Although we have no quantitative studies about the ratio between Homa and
secondary metabolites (**), we are able to recognize the immense effect on
plants, particularly in the field of the Allelopathy (***) of plants and pollinators
attraction or distracting predators and how the Homa amplifies those attributes.
For this reason, this report has the purpose to describe a summary of the effects of
Homa Therapy in the Naturopathic Plants according to the experience accumulated
22/41
during the time we have been working in the gardens of the Homa Eco Farm in
Chile (****) , both in Limache and currently in the ECHO in Olmué.
-In order to circumscribe this extensive topic, it is also necessary to point out 4
subjects that in this report we are going to propose.
(a) The report shall be refered to the experience accumulated in ECHO, without
contrast to results of laboratory tests. Consequently, this report will be casuistic on
the subject of plant secondary metabolites.
(b) The scope of analysis will be that of the relationship of the Homa and
medicinal plants or naturopathic plants grown in the gardens of the ECH O of Chile.
Here, it should be noted that according to Ayurvedic conception, whole plants,
grass, tree or shrub and their different bodies have naturopathic properties, i.e.
they have capacity to induce health. Therefore, we assume the Homa effect is
generally indistinct for any plant.
c) With the aim of avoiding a heavy extension of the report, we will refer mainly
to aromatic plants.
(d) We will assume that the secondary metabolites fall into the study of the
Allelopathy and that is why we use interchangeably the terms secondary
metabolites as allelochemicals (***()) produced by plants to interact with its
environment.
______________
(*) Homa Fires in a copper pyramid, which thanks the burning of dried cow dung, with Ghee (clarified butter)
and other organic elements elevates to certain temperature the metal, dropping free electrons along with
various atomized substances that we can find in the smoke of the Homa. The Agnihotras are the fundamental
circadian Homa, performed synchronously with the rhythms of the planet of sunset /sunrise.
(**) See definition in § 3.
(***) Allelopathy (Greek allelon = one to another, Greek pathos = sensibility, passion; effect of one another).
The Allelopathy studied chemicals substances or "allelochemicals" that the plant produce and release to the
environment by a certain way (e.g. leaching, decomposition of waste, etc) which being incorporated by another
(recipient) plant cause harmful or beneficial effect on germination, growth or development of the latter. The
definition covers both positive and negative allelochemical effects.
(****) In Limache, since 1991 and Olmué, since 2005. Previously, we started developing on a smaller scale,
the first explorations in 1985.
-The basic botanical terminology that we will use in this report is expressed here.
-Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions of living cells that synthesize complex
substances from other more simple, or to demote the complex and get the simple
which are required in the cell formation and cell regeneration.
-Most of the carbon, nitrogen and energy are expressed in molecules common to all
cells, necessary for its vital operations of the whole organism. These are amino
acids, nucleotides, sugars and lipids, present in all plants perform the same
23/41
functions, regardless gender or species (*). These substances are called primary
metabolites.
-Not all secondary metabolites are found in all groups of plants. They are
synthesized in small quantities and not widely, often being restricted to a certain
genus, family, or even some species production (*), as itlike was mentioned above.
_______
(*) A plant is well defined within a plant family noting its gender and species (taxonomic classification).
[See Anexx 1]
- In the daily work of a Homa Farm, several substances are used that relate to the
effectiveness of plants, both in their process of growth and optimized relationship
with the medium. These elements are exclusive of Homa activity. This is what
distinguishes it from other undertakings; no other organic schools use these
components, which we consider strategic. All Agnihotris are familiar with them, but
Homa farmers can realize the effectiveness of their applications in the field of
plants. They are: the Homa Ash (Homa Bhasma), the vapours or fumes (Dhuma) of
the Yajñas, vaporized Ghee and the bio-preparations with mixed and not mixed
substances, macerations of herbs and similar.
- In addition, and although not in the tangible field, two very subtle as well as
powerful other components play a substantial role with the energy sustainability of
Homa Farms: the Veda Mantras, related specifically with environmental and
atmospheric and the agricultural moments from the great cosmic experience that
provided by the Bio Dynamic discipline.
24/41
Farms, plus that will allow them to survive in an environment increasingly
aggressive and changing.
- In the world of animals, the case of the bees and the pollination is remarkable in
an HA. It occurs an incredible higher pollination since the bees are attracted to the
HA, helping to increase the power of cultivation and harvesting. The honey, pollen
and the propolis that bees produce in this environment are superior to all apiculture
product produced in other atmospheres.
Homa Ash. The Homa ash (Sanskrit: Homa Bhasma) is a singular product,
resulting out of the process from Mantras and Yajñas, it is the most characteristic
bioproduct. These ashes, both from the Agnihotras and other Yajñas (Vyahruti
Homa, Om Tryambakam Homa, etc) are used for soil nutrition purposes in the
plants and healing and at the same time for the biological stabilization of flowing
waters (Rudra Yajña).
Homa Ash application, in all their states, solid (powder), solutions (liquids), bio-
prepared or semi gaseous products (HOMA BIOSOL) provide unsurpassed additional
nutrition for crops, facilitate the generation of allelochemicals which are specific to
each plant species and improve immunizing processes that allow you to eliminate
all infectious and unhealthy vector of food and medicinal plants and all living being.
Ash from Agnihotra has disinfectants, anticoagulants attributes, as well as
contracting effects on the tissues of living matter. This ash has fungicide and
pesticides properties; and the capacity of solving problems of mineral deficiencies
(trophologic function). To counteract infestation foci, the ash of Agnihotra applied in
the most affected areas of plants, acts as nematicide, fungicide, herbicide and
pesticide. In case of attacks by insects (considered pests) and/or infestations (fungi,
bacteria, etc.), it is recommended to apply sprayings of Agnihotra Ash (solid or
dilution) moving the spraying 2 times a day, spraying counter-clockwise,
meanwhile you utter continuously Om Tryambakam Mantra (***) .
The ashes of the Agnihotra and Om Tryambakam Homa are used within the Homa
method. These Bhasmas are applied directly to the crop.
Agnihotra Bhasma is constituent of all organic fertilizers applied as Agnihotra
solution to the Compost, worm humus and the Homa Biosol.
In the ECHO, it is customary to widespread ash regularly to the bulb or cup of
irrigation. Every 7 days, i.e. in each lunar phase, are provided 2 gr of Homa Ash,
interchangeably Agnihotra, Vyahruti Homa (*****) and Tryambakam Homa or
mixtures of these.
Homa Mantras. It is well known that harmonious sounds have profound effects
in sensitive system of plants. The effect of the Mantras sounds is even greater, and
more intense these vibrations stimulate the Plant Nadis, subtle passages or finest
systems of plant and make them receive the highest vibration. In such an
environment, plants respond with more healthy growth in all of its organoleptic
parameters.
Therefore, from the Vedic viewpoint, sounds are powerful nutrients.
25/41
Even more, it is well known that sounds produce motion. Several experiments
carried out, have shown that sounds are able to change the way in which matter is
presented, that is to say, its structural appearance.
In a superlative degree, the special Mantras when they are correctly pronounced
during the Yajñas, along with the Homa smoke (Dhuma) should expand the
reception of certain types of electricity (more than one, according to Shree Vasant)
and ethers and induce a quick elevation of nutritious plant structure and it is
observable in the Homa garden.
[See Annex 2]
26/41
of the plants, by promoting an efficient vascular plant respiration. As a result of
that, plants are able to produce a protective layer against pests and diseases. A
Ghee spread in the air environment improves metabolism and all naturopathic
parameters of all other living beings.

higher base, and 6.50 cm in height and the edge of the lower base. It has 3 levels clearly visible.
(**) Rudolf Steiner, Austrian. Founder of Anthroposophy, Waldorf Education, biodynamic agriculture and
anthroposophic medicine.
(***) This mantra, one of the most widespread in India is contained in the ancient Vedic texts of the Rgveda
and the Yajurveda. The Yajña is a recursive Mantra that may be repeated, again and again, without limit,
specially in Continuous Homa, such as those conducted for Moon phases such as Amavasya (new moon) and
Purnima (full moon).
(*****) Yajna initiator of Homa processes. It is made prior to the other Homa Mantras, with the
exception of the Agnihotras, which are self-sustaining. An officiant performs this mantra or other
Homa mantras is requirement that the Yajamana has made the output Agnihotra of Sunrise or
Sunset.
According to the Ayurvedic theory, a clean atmospheric field allows the Prana or
cosmic nutrient to descend and be absorbed by all living beings, in this case plants.
The Yajñas just generate the free circulation of abundant and a pure Prana. All of
27/41
this, through a chemical complex process - energy produced by the agency of
Homa Fire.
Addition of more subtle factors of Yajñas who know very well all Agnihotris, we can
also mention various types of interactions that occur between the completion of the
Homa and plants:
a) Aerial effects. The Homa air product is vapor, Dhuma, or commonly called
smoke. The Dhuma is a gas composed of carbon, various minerals suspended,
molecules of Ghee, aromatics substances, oxygen, hydrogen, steam molecules of
water, nitrogen and other molecules ionized largely thanks to the Yajna process.
The combined action of all interacts with atmospheric components producing the
cleaning of harmful or polluting elements called colloids (kolas, Greek, which you
can paste it; "glued" substances) suspended in the air, thanks to an effect of
flocculation Homa (*).
Apart from the effect of flocculation, the Homa air products are nutrient of high
quality for all living species, in this case, for any plant species. Plants capture those
nutrients through the stomata, small pores located in the surface of the leaves.
The stomatas are specialized in exchanging air nutrients with environmental bodies.
The stomata play a role in photosynthesis, since they lag mechanical gas exchange,
i.e. oxygen (O2) that this place comes and goes carbon dioxide (CO2) and in our
case the Homa smoke. Also participates in the removal of water from the plant in
the form of water vapor on their process of perspiration.
It is notable the effect in foliar nutrition that produce the Agnihotris (Officiants of
Homa Agnihotra who performed at the times of departure and putting of Sun) and
Yajamanas (Officiants of any Yajña or Homa) when the Homa are made especially
outdoors in the presence of puny trees or with severe problems of fumagines (**) or
other attack insects or diseases...
b) Effects produced by the direct application of the Homa ash foliage plant
space. Similar effect is produced by the dilutions of ash from Agnihotra applied by
spraying foliar space and the floor surface, shrub or tree branches. As the smoke,
in this case water and atomized ashes are captured by the stomata and energy
system of the plants, producing a rich nutrition leaf.
c) Effect produced by the ash Homa percolation towards the root device
plant. When settles in solid Ash form or dilution of ash Homa in the of bulb
irrigation, ash drops by percolation to bodies catchment roots and underground
parts plants where food ion exchange is performed.
Seeds before its planting are impregnated with ashes, which gives them an energy
envelope, biochemically antiviral and physically attributes to achieve a perfect
camouflage, passing so unnoticed by their natural predators.
-These effects usually combined are observable in the Homa Farm of Olmué. What
we have seen in all trees, bushes and smaller plants on an area of experimentation,
which are continuous and intense Yajñas outdoors, in an area called the Zone of
Avocados, where apart from avocados there are several citrics, medlars and
28/41
apricots, all coexisting harmoniously even though the original architecture has been
particularly demanding for citrus fruits.
________
(*) The flocculation is a chemical process where certain substances called flocculants coalesce colloidal
elements present in one medium, usually fluid (water), facilitating its tailings pond or separation and
subsequent filtering. Furthermore, Colloid named Greek root, kolas, which you can paste, which refers to one of
the main properties of colloids, her spontaneous adding or form clots trend.
(**) The fumagina refers to colonies of various species of fungi, such as the Capnodium, have, Aureobasidium
and others that are superficially reproduced in upper leaf stems and fruit, forming a film black, which hinders
breathing plant.
Plant blends and Culinaries. In the ECHO we extensively use the aromatic herbs
for positive allelopathic effects.
Some plants sown near of others increase their scents, as it is the case of the nettle
to surrounding down any aromatic plant increases you the pungency and aroma;
specifically, by the Mint and the Cedron double increases them the amount of
essential oils; the Achillea or Yarrow or Milfoil (Achlillea millefolium) also increases
the aromatic quality of all the herbs that grow alongside them.
The more collaborative plants we maintain in almost all the terraces of crops are:
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia, Lamiaceae), Passionaria (Passiflora incarnata,
Passifloraeae), Melissa (Melissa officinalis, Lamiaceae), Ruda (Ruta graveolens,
Rutaceae), Fennel (Foeniculun vulgare, Apiaceae), Mint (Mentha ssp, Lamiaceae),
Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus, Tropaeolaceae), Rosemary (Rosemarinus
officinalis, Lamiaceae), Basil ( Ocimum basilicum, Lamiacea ), Marjoram (Origanum
vulgare, Lamiaceae), etc, etc, all adapted and treated in a strict Homa
environment.
Trap Plants. For example, the Dill (Anethum graveolens, Apiaceae) attracts
caterpillars of tomatoes; which are easily detected in thin stems of kills, making it
easy to collect them and separate them. Similarly, plants of soya (Glicine max,
Fabaceae) placed randomly can be used o relesse of worms the cultivation of
cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, eggplant, lettuce, onions, parsley, peas, radish and
others. A similar allelochemical effects have the mustard plants (Sinapis alba,
mustard) which distract the cabbage worm. The Ruta is a plant that attracts all
kinds of black fly. The role of the Ñilhue, Chilean plant (Lactuca Serriola,
Anteraceae), is similar.
- Now, we will summarily give further information about some plants, whose
30/41
allelochemicals show environmental activities that we believe are significant and we
have identified in the gardens of the ECH O:
Other members of the Lamiaceae family: This family also is known for its
Labiaceae synonymy: Mint (Mentha ssp.), thyme (Thymus vulgaris), Sage (Salvia
officinalis), hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis).
31/41
these same substances control fleas and slugs in crops, and fleas in animals, when
used as a tea; also away the weevils seeds and grains stored.
Their allelopathic action is exercised through their allelochemicals Cineole, Thuyone.
Nettle (Urtica dioica, Urticaceae). Sown in the vicinity of any aromatic plant
increases the pungency and aroma; specifically, near the Mint and the Cedron,
which increases twice the amount of essential oil of these plants. It has stinging
hairs which have the form of tiny blisters of irritating liquid in contact with the skin
causing irritation as they poured their content on it (formic acid, resin, histamine
and an unknown protein substance), causing stinging, itching and hives. This
itching is due to the action of formic acid, compound containing large quantity.
These hairs are very fragile and hard at the tip, a slight friction break the lithe
hairs. That same itching is used in naturopathy to the nervous system, stimulate by
means of gentle frictional applied with fresh nettle branches before morning bath.
A useful bio dynamic protocol is collecting nettles in flower and place them in a hole
on Earth, where leave for a year, to be subsequently applied as fertilizer terrain.
The presence of the nettle between crops helps neighboring plants to grow more
resistant to the Pythium; changes the neighbor chemical process, since many
increases its essential oil content (e.g.: Valerian, Buena, marjoram, Sage) and
stimulates the formation of compost. It controls aphids.
The leaves and stems of this plant are decomposed into an ideal composting crop;
in addition, there may be certain secretions roots, stimulating life and compost
fermentation. It is recommended to apply to compost when the nettles are
blackened and decomposed.
Much of their effectiveness is obtained from their allelochemicals: serotonin,
histamine and philosterin.
Aloe vera (Aloe vera, also Aloe barabdensis, Asphodelaceae, Liliaceae; Ayurvedic
name: Gheekumari). The word Aloe is derived from the Arabic "alloeh", which
means: " brilliant substance bitter"; the word vera comes from the Latin and
means: "true". Also known as Sabila. In spite Aloe vera is a member of the lily
family, has a cactus appearance. This nutritious plant contains all 8 essential amino
acids and 11 of the 14 "secondary" amino acids. It also contains vitamins A, B1,
B2, B6, B12, C and E.
In India, it is thought that Aloe vera helps the maintenance of the youth, due to its
positive effects on the skin. So it is called kunvar ghee or kumari ghee.

It contains secondary metabolites as saponins (terpenes), and some very specific
compounds as aloemodina, aloeoleína, aloetina.

8 Conclusions
-In a HA, plants receive additional nourishment both in their roots (by percolation)
and leaves (by aspersion) spraying some dilutions/gasifications of macerated ash
and air vaporization produced by the Yajñas.
-The plants are not indifferent to the sounds that are emitted into the atmosphere
and the quality and capacity of the performer. The Mantras, source of high
vibrations are a true "balm" for plants, in particular the Homa Mantras affect
positively the best organic development.
-The Olmué Homa Farm has discovered through accurate observation and
experience that the HA favors the production of allelochemicals in plants whose
management improves health, growth and reproduction of the whole plant
community where they are housed.
-Aromatic and intensely coloured plants are especially susceptible to the synergies
that the Homa environment brings about.

1 SECONDARY METABOLISM OF PLANTS
Metabolism of Plants and Secondary Metabolites
-Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions of living cells that synthesize complex
substances from other more simple, or demote the complex in order to get the
simple.

affect other microorganisms. An interesting case is that of propolis produced by
bees to protect their hive from harmful microorganisms.
- It is estimated that there are more than 30,000 metabolic products of secondary
source, but estimated that the number may exceed the 100 thousand. At the
moment, investigations focus on each structural class to identify the main
components. There are thousands of active secondary metabolites in plants that
botanical sciences are studying today.
a) Phenolic compound.
Flavonoids (Latin flavus, "yellow") are the most known compounds of this group.
They are water soluble compounds, present in the plant cell vacuoles (flavonoids
are synthesized in the cytoplasm and then transported to its final destination in the
vacuoles cell), that have functions of protection from ultraviolet light, defense in
front of the herbivorism and pigmentation.
The flavonoids are biosynthesized in all "terrestrial plants" or embryophytes, and
also in some seaweed Charophyta.
The flavonoids are responsible for the resistance of plants to photooxidation of
ultraviolet light coming from the Sun.
It has been posted more than 9,000 flavonoids. The best-known flavonoids are the
anthocyanins, pigments of flowers and fruits of many plants, especially red
(Raspberry), purple, and blue (blueberries, blackberries).
Colourless flavonoids tend to accumulate in the most superficial layers of plants and
capture up to 90% of UV radiation, preventing the detrimental effects of radiation
on the internal tissues.
Other flavonoids as tannins protect plants against hervibores generating
unpleasant bitter flavours, and textures these invaders are compelled to choose
other plants.
37/41
b) Terpenoids.
They belong to the Group of terpenes and when terpenes are chemically modified,
for example by oxidation or reorganization of the hydrocarbonated skeleton, they
denominate Terpenoids (such as vitamin A or retinol, containing one atom of
oxygen).
These lipids found in all kinds of living beings and are synthesized by plants are
involved in numerous biotic interactions.
In plants, terpenes have many primary functions: some carotenoid pigments are
terpenes, then are also part of the chlorophyll and hormones gibberellin and
abscisic acid.
The terpenes of plants are highly valued for their aromatic qualities. They play an
important role in traditional medicine and in naturopathic products because of their
antibacterial effects.
The monoterpenes are the chief components of essential oils of plant and are the
greatest inhibitors of growth identified on the upper plants. The monoterpenes are
better known as components of the volatile essence of flowers and as part of the
essential oils of herbs and spices. They are known for their allelopathic potential
against herb elements that proliferate between crops. Those with most frequent
allelopathic activity include camphor. Salvia, Amaranthus, Eucalyptus, Artemisia
and Pine are the most important monoterpenes producers.
Among terpenes we may find the saponins, steroids glycosides or triterpenoids,
named so for its properties as the soap: each molecule consists of a soluble in lipids
(steroid or the triterpenoide) element and a water-soluble (sugar), and they forme
a foam when agitated in water.
In general, a part of the role of terpenes in plants is made by essential oils that are
characteristic of the Magnoliales, Laurales, Austrobaileyales and Piperales, and also
other little related therewith, Myrtaceae, Rutaceae, Apiales, Lamiaceae,
Verbenaceae and Asteraceae.

2. THE HOMA MANTRAS
Vibrations exist everywhere. Where there is vibration there is sound. Everything is only
vibrations, when you look into it. Where there are vibrations there is also sound. When we
do Mantras, the sounds that we utter activate these especial vibrations that will create
certain atmosphere or effects, then the expected results are realized.
These vibrations exist for everything. So anything can be activated, well controlled,
changed by Mantras.
Vedas etymologically means knowledge. Vedas are made up of certain word combinations,
Mantras.
When Mantras are done in conjunction with Homa Fire, the vibrations from the Mantras
become locked up in the Bhasma (ash) and therefore the aAsh becomes even more
powerful.
The following Homa Mantras have been transliterated by the IAST method, International
Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration:

Sūryāya svāhā, Sūryāya idam na mama
prajāpataye svāhā, prajāpataye idam na mama
