Havan ingredients contain various roots and herbs, making the ashes beneficial and capable of alleviating certain diseases. Yagya includes Mantra chanting, Tarpan (pouring water), Havan, and Brahmin Bhojan (offering food to Brahmins).

Yagya will have a long-lasting effect, i.e., 10-15 years or more, based on the Dosha. Yagna is a complete remedy for a planet or deity and is recommended for those seeking long-term relief from problems caused by a planet or planetary doshas.
