Agnihotra establishes the basic healing cycle; Om Tryambakam Homa and other healing fires strengthen that cycle. Om Tryambakam Homa may be performed for as long as one likes at any time other than exactly Agnihotra time. This Homa is especially beneficial to plant life. For Homa Farming, a minimum of four hours of Om Tryambakam Homa is performed daily, plus twenty-four hours of this Homa on full moon and no moon days. The four hours may be performed consecutively, or two hours at a time.

Build the fire using cow dung and cow's ghee same as for Agnihotra.
 A small amount of ghee is offered to the fire after the word "swáhá".
If performing Homa for longer time new cowdung pieces should be added regularly.

Homa Therapy is the science of purification of the atmosphere through the agency of fire.
This Homa may be performed anytime and is especially good before meditations, group meetings or anytime one wishes to calm the atmosphere. It is done before commencing Om Tryambakam and other Homas but not Agnihotra.
Build the fire using cow dung and cow's ghee same as for Agnihotra.
Chant the mantras once, adding one drop of ghee after the word swáhá in each of the first 3 lines, and a spoonful of ghee after swáhá in the 4th line.
