Agnihotra Ash Powder
Collect the cooled Agnihotra ash from the copper pyramid and pass it through a fine sieve, such as a tea strainer. (See video demonstration on how to make Agnihotra ash powder).
Store this finely powdered ash in a container made of natural material like glass, earthenware, clay, paper or wood. Do not store ash in plastic or in metal other than pure copper or gold. The bigger, harder parts that remain in the strainer can be given to plants, put in water sources like rivers or lakes, or put in the compost pile. Wherever Agnihotra ash is placed, it gives healing energy.
It is recommended to take Agnihotra ash orally three times a day to counteract atmospheric pollution, environmental toxicity, and to protect oneself from disturbing frequencies that may exist from microwaves, cell phones, computers, etc. It can be taken directly as a finger pinch, or alternatively added in water or juice. Some people keep the Agnihotra ash in water overnight and then drink this water first thing in the morning. You can also use it on your food like a condiment.
You may want to put a tablespoon full of Agnihotra ash powder into the bath for a special energy bath and put a pinch of Agnihotra ash powder in your body lotion. Agnihotra ash can be mixed with other natural ingredients, such as ghee, to make remedies and applications.
Agnihotra ointment

Agnihotra ointment is used externally for all kinds of skin problems. It is used internally for heart conditions, kidney problems, etc.
Agnihotra cream
