EFFECTS ON MICROBIAL COUNT

                  Dr. A.G. Mondkar, Practising Microbiologist from Bombay has conducted experiments to study the effect of Agnihotra atmosphere on bacterial population. Two rooms of identical dimensions were selected and Basal reading of microbial colony count was done in both these rooms after exposure of agar plates for 10 minutes.

                  In one room Agnihotra was performed and in the Control room control fire was produced with same material, medias were exposed for 2 hours after Agnihotra. In his interesting experiment Dr. Mondkar has observed that Microbial count where Agnihotra wa performed revealed 91.4% reduction in colony count and the control did not show appreciable change. He has concluded that it is not a mere fumigation effect but much more than that.

                  Further, Dr. Mondkar studied Bioenergetic system of individual micro-organisms. He concluded that Agnihotra plays a pivotal role in controlling metabolic activity of micro-organisms.

                  In yet another interesting experiment Dr. Mondkar observed therapeutic effect of Agnihotra ash in Rabbits. He has successfully treated scabies in Rabbits with Agnihotra Ash application. Normally Benzyl Benzoate is used and takes 5-6 days to heal the scables whereas it was observed that a single application of Agnihotra ash Ointment cured the scables in 3 days only and that too without the anxiety of poisoning as may happen with Benzyl Benzoate.

                  Agnihotra effect on serial microflora was also studied by Dr. Mondkar. It wa observed that bacterial colonies of Staphalbus. B Subtlis, Enterococci, E Coil, Staph Pyo, Pneumonae grown before Agnihotra showed a definite reduction in colony count in 30 to 60 minutes. There is a definite reduction in microflora after performing Agnihotra.

                  Dr. B.R.Gupta, Asociate Professor, Microbiology, CSA University of Agriculture, Kanpur has conducted experiments on effects of Agnihotra on plate count of Aerial bacterial flora. He has found that in human residence where no Agnihotra was performed the Bacterial colony count was 123 as against in the human residence where Agnihotra wa done regularly the bacterial colony count was as low as a mere 25.

                  Agnihotra ash also controls the growth of pathogenic microflora. Wg.Cdr. D.V.K.Rao, Classfied Specialist, Pathology, Defence Insititute of Physiology and Allied Sciences, Delhi has studied anti-bacterial and wound healing effect of Agnihotra Ash. Antibiotic Sensitivity test was done on various pathogenic bacteria. It wa observed that the activity in all the cases was bacteriostatic.

                  Wg.Cdr.Rao also studied the wound healing effect of Agnihotra ash on two Albino rats. He observed that rate of wound contraction was better with Agnihotra ash applied wound and Histopathological examination of scar tissue showed near normal histology in case of lesion applied with Agnihotra Ash as compared to increased fibrous tissue in Control lesion.
