Swarnaprashana is a classical Ayurvedic practice described in the Kashyapa Samhita — one of the oldest paediatric Ayurvedic texts. It involves administering a preparation of purified gold (Swarna Bhasma) combined with honey, ghee, and cognitive herbs to children on auspicious Pushya Nakshatra days.
Benefits for Children
- Immunity — strengthens the child’s natural defence against infections
- Intelligence & memory — supports learning, concentration, and academic performance
- Speech & development — promotes normal developmental milestones
- Digestion — improves digestive fire (Agni) for better nutrient absorption
- Allergy resistance — reduces sensitivity to environmental allergens
Who Can Receive Swarnaprashana?
Children from birth to 16 years of age. It is particularly recommended for children with:
- Frequent colds, coughs, and fever episodes
- Low appetite or digestive issues
- Delayed speech or developmental milestones
- Poor concentration or memory
- Skin allergies or eczema
