What is Suvarna Prashan Sanskar?
This is one of the 16 essential rituals for children and has been described in Ayurveda. Suvarna Bhasma is the ash of gold. This is mixed with other herbal extracts and given to children in the form of semi-liquid through the oral route- this process is called Suvarna Prashan. In Ayurveda, this is the process of immunization and boosts the intellectual power and immunity of the child and helps fight against general disorders. “Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshanam Aaturasya Vikara Prashamanam" - This is an Ayurvedic shloka which means prevention has more priority than cure.

We hear stories of babies having food in golden utensils and spoons in the early days. Gold is scientifically proven to improve immunity when it is absorbed by the body. Thus, Hindu culture suggests wearing gold, eating in golden utensils and even donating gold. Maintaining health and healthy individuals is the first and foremost responsibility and motto of Ayurveda. Ayurveda believes that instead of giving vaccinations for individual disorders it is better to increase the immunity of the individual child. This avoids many ailments and in turn increases the immunity as well as mental, physical, social health and helps a child lead a happy life. This immunization also acts as a brain tonic that improves memory, concentration and the I.Q of the brain and brain power; all of which chemical vaccines do not provide. Regular use of Suvarna Prashan makes a child very intelligent and help in enhancing memory and boosting immunity.Ingredients of Suvarna Prashan
