Dhanwantari is the deity presiding over the famous Indian medicinal system called Ayurveda. Lord Dhanwantari in Indian mythology is said to have carried the nectar of immortality when the 'Samudramathanam' was done (churning of the cosmic ocean). Lord Dhanwantari is particularly worshipped by all practitioners of Ayurveda. He is the bestower of good health and remover of all diseases. This homa is performed to cure chronic ailments, life threating conditions, to overcome the evil effects of enemies, danger or fear of accidents, to attain a long and healthy life. This homam can also be performed particularly by doctors or patients who are taking Ayurvedic medicine or those who are running an Ayurvedic clinic or herbarium, to improve the effectiveness of the medicines and to make your ayurvedic practice flourish.
