The world is going through numerous climatic, economic, and environmental changes and agriculture is facing a major crisis due to the processes of modernization. Food produced is heavily loaded with pesticides, hormones, and different chemicals which can be very toxic to both human beings and nature. There is a need to revisit our traditional methods and practices in search of alternatives that are sustainable. One such traditional practice in India, prevalent since the Vedic era is ‗Homa Therapy‘. Homa therapy has two aspects- it is a technique that rejuvenates the land with the use of yajñas in practical life, and also has a therapeutic value by eradicating toxic substances from the environment. This technique purifies the air, eradicating harmful bacteria present in the atmosphere and the ashes contain medicinal properties. This brief report on indigenous practices describes Homa Therapy, a practice that originated in India and is now practiced worldwide, that can contribute to sustainable agriculture.
