Swarna Prashana (suvarna prashana /suvarna bindu prashana) is an Ayurvedic technique to enhance immunity and improves the intelligence of children. Swarna prashana is a unique method of giving Swarna bhasma (gold ash) mixed with honey and ghee that is prepared with many herbs like vacha, brahmi, and shankupushpi etc .to children orally. It can be given from birth till 16 yrs, preferably on morning. The purpose of swarna prashana is same as that of modern vaccination to prevent disease by building immunity against bacteria and viruses. However swarna prashana has no specific indications like an individual vaccine, but improves the overall immunity of children. Swarna prashana acts on mind, brain immune system and skin. It promotes growth and development, maintains health, builds resistance to infections by developing non-specific immunity, and improves complexion. It’s not only useful for normal children with special needs such as autism, learning difficulties, attention deficit disorder, hyper activity, delayed milestone, etc.
