Benefits of Offering Herbs with Shakambhari Gayatri Mantra

Specific Ayurvedic herbs can be offered with the Shakambhari Gayatri Mantra for specific results. The herbs can be offered into a homam for those who know how to perform such rituals, or a ghee lamp can be lit and the powdered herbs simply offered onto a copper plate while reciting the mantra. In either case the herbs that remain after offerings can be consumed as prasad for these benefits listed below, with the exception of kumkum, which is worn on the third eye point instead of consumed to bestow its results.
