Fumigation has its origin
in some religious rituals with fire, in cultures which worshiped FIRE.
They considered fire and fumes as a means to communicate with the demi-gods and
to destroy demons. Thinking rationally, we can understand that all the
ingredients we use in fumigation has some ani-microbial, anti-bacterial or
anti-fungal properties which repel harmful flies, mosquitos and even microbes.
Frankincense, gulgulu,
myrrh, neem, sandal and turmeric can be used to fumigate our household both indoors and
outdoors.
In Kerala fumigation using 'aparajitha
choornam' an Ayurveda product is widely used in fumigating local
community sponsored by the government, especially during the pre-monsoon
cleaning drive which has been proved successful in reducing vectors borne and
other diseases which appear during rainy season.
Fumigation can be done any
place but more suitable in independent houses as sometimes fumes can trigger a
false fire alam.
Best medium to fumigate is
embers of coal or charcol from coconut shell and putting "aparajitha
choornam" in it.
