Pain Killer
Soma
Soma , or Haoma (Avestan), from Proto-Indo-Iranian sauma, was a ritual drink of importance among the early Indo-Iranians,
and the later Vedic and greater Persian cultures. It is frequently mentioned in the Rigveda, which contains many hymns
praising its energizing qualities. In the Avesta, Haoma has an entire Yasht dedicated to it.
It is described as prepared by pressing juice from the stalks of a certain mountain plant, which has been variously
hypothesized to be honey[1], a psychedelic mushroom, cannabis, Peganum harmala, Blue lotus[1], or ephedra. In both Vedic
and Zoroastrian tradition, the drink is identified with the plant, and also personified as a divinity, the three forming a
religious or mythological unity.
