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.
