Owing to unhealthy lifestyles and rising pollution, the number of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease sufferers is increasing every day. Uncomfortable and time-consuming treatment causes both physical and psychological stress. A comprehensive treatment approach should also take care of psychological health. A mentally positive and peaceful patient recovers fast. There is a need to integrate some rejuvenating therapies with contemporary treatment methods. In this context, ‘yagya’ is a marvelous option to consider. When Yagya is performed with ‘disease-specific’ medicinal herbs, it turns into a divine therapy for struggling patients. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Yagya therapy as 'supportive care’ for cancer, diabetes, and heart patients during their treatment. This study includes the treatment of nine patients in the age group of 28 to 78 years. The patients were treated for a minimum of three days to two years. Three types of disease-specific, Yagya samagris were used for the treatment. The samagris were a mixture of herbs rich in specific compounds that healed the patients. Cancer patients were treated with samagri “Divya Karkateshti”. Similarly, diabetics and heart patients were treated with “Divya madhuishti” and “Divya hridayeshti” respectively. The patients felt the benefits of Yagya therapy beyond the cure of their ailment. Some of them expressed willingness to attend Yagya beyond their treatment duration. This study shows that Yagya is a form of therapy that needs to be integrated with contemporary treatment methods to speed up the pace of recovery. However, Yagya therapy as a sole choice of treatment needs to be further investigated. More case studies are needed on Yagya therapy based on the treatment of several other ailments.
