The ritual of Soma and Haoma is one of the most important rituals in
ancient India and Iran. In this ritual the plant Soma/Haoma was being
squeezed until its juice being prepared. According to Avesta and
gveda the first form of Soma/Haoma was a plant known because of
its extraordinary effects and gradually special rites was developed
around it. The rite of the preparation of Soma/Haoma juice was
accompanied by special ceremonies and customs and it should be
performed only under the direction of the priests. Holiness of this plant
gradually opened the way for appearance of a god with the same namei.
e. the god Soma/Haoma. Therefore, several pieces in Avesta and
Rgveda were dedicated to this god. According to these pieces the most
important function of the god Soma/Haoma is bringing health and
immortality. It seems likely that the curative properties of this plant
have been attributed to the god.
