Swarna Prashana
Swarna Bindu Prashana
*सुवर्णप्राशन/सुवर्णबिंदूप्राशन*
According to Ayurveda, childhood is up to 16 years of age. It mainly affects the physical and mental development of the child up to the age of 16 years. During this period, special attention should be paid to the physical and mental nourishment of the child, on his body-mind-intellect.
The development of the body from birth to the age of sixteen years, intelligence and the immune system determines its future. It develops his personality.
Contaminated phlegm (कफ)and worms (कृमी) are the main causes of diseases in children. Also, improper diet taken & wrong habits continued during this period take him to the sick.
We also see examples of specific organs of the body being weak for life due to lack of proper nutrition in childhood. When female patients come to the clinic with complaints about menstruation or uterus, they often feel malnourished and neglected in their history.

Acharya Kashyap’s Kashyap Samhita, which is one of the eight branches of Ayurveda, has a detailed description of the physical and mental changes that take place in a child from birth to sixteen years, the ailments and the treatments that can be given.
In the same Kashyapasamhita, Lehadhyaya also mentions Suvarnaprashana.
” सुवर्णप्राशनं ह्यतन्मेधाऽग्निबलवर्धनम्|
आयुष्यं मंगलं पुण्यं वृष्यं वर्ण्यं ग्रहापहम्।।
“मासात् परम् मेधावी व्याधीभिर्न च धृष्यते ।
षडर्भिमासे: श्रुतधर: सुवर्णप्राशनाद् भवेत् ।।’’
– काश्यपसंहिता
Acharya Kashyap says,
Swarnaprashan is the enhancer of intellect (intellect), fire (digestive fire) and body strength. It is life-giving, beneficent, virtuous, varna (brightening the color of the body), and removes planetary pain. By following the proper diet, the child becomes a genius in a month, protects him from various diseases, whereas by consuming it regularly for six months, he becomes a srutadhar (one who remembers what he has heard), that is, his memory is greatly enhanced.
Overall, Ayurvedic Suvarnaprashan medicine is tonic, anti-inflammatory, life-enhancing, color-enhancing and paramedic,Perceptiveness enhancer.
The dosage of these Suvarnaprashan drugs is in drops. Hence it is also called Suvarna ‘bindu’ prashan.
Suvarnabinduprashan is a medicine for mentally retarded children, children who are slow in speaking, hearing and daily activities, children who do not grow tall, children who suffer from frequent colds, coughs, fevers or other complaints, children who have poor comprehension, intelligence and urinate in bed, weak and underweight. Very important for physical and mental development.
Suvarnabinduprashan contents and preparation methods:
Brahmi – Mandukparni – Shankhapushpi – Vacha etc. 11 medicines which are very useful for the physical and mental development of the child are combined with the auspicious medicine, the micro-powder of that medicine is achieved by giving 11 feelings of its own vowel-extract. After that, Siddha Churna is re-proven by giving 8 – 8 feelings of extraction of Charkokta Char Medya Dravya.

* Suvarnabinduprash is given in two stages *
A) Suvarnabindu prashan Daily
(सुवर्णबिंदूप्राशन – Daily)
For Growth & Devlopment of Deha Dhatu (Cellular Devlopment) & Immunity
6 consecutive months – Suvarnabinduprashan Daily.
B)Suvarnabindu prashan Monthly / to every Pushya Nakshatra
(सुवर्णबिंदूप्राशन – Monthly)
For Boost Growth & Immunity
A) सुवर्णबिंदूप्राशन Daily
Suvarnabindu prashan Daily – for 6 consecutive months
First of all, Suvarnabinduprashan is given to the child according to his physical and mental complaint, after giving medicine of worms & contaminated cough, then Suvarnabindu prashan is started daily for 6 months.
In it, Suvarnabinduprashan is given to the child in a certain amount (in drops) daily for six consecutive months according to the age and body weight of the child.
If the child has some physical and mental complaints, then on the advice of a doctor, Suvarnabinduprashan) – Daily is given continuously for one year.
It is more beneficial to give it within 6 years of age, but it is found to be more fruitful in the first 3 years.
B) सुवर्णबिंदूप्राशन – Monthly
Suvarnabindu prashan Monthly – On each pushyanakshtra:
After giving Suvarnabinduprashan daily for 6 consecutive months ; monthly suvarnabindu prashan is given on each pushyanakshtra till the child reaches 16 years of age (at least up to 12 years of age)
Pushya means nutrition. In Vedic scriptures, Pushya Nakshatra is called the king of constellations. Pushyanakshatra is an auspicious, powerful and energetic constellation. The work done on this day is very fruitful. Pushyanakshatra is also an auspicious moment.
Pushyanakshatra comes after every 27th days.
Like the full moon – on the day of the new moon, like the influence of the moon, the tide
on the earth – the tide comes.
The same effect falls on those medicinal plants and animals on the day of that constellation.
Therefore, we are taking some special medicines to collect & prepare on specific constellation.
For example, Pushyanug churna is made on Pushya Nakshatra, Ashwagandha is collected on Punarvasu Nakshatra etc.
Medicinal drugs work more effectively on the day of Pushyanakshatra under the influence of Nakshatra.
Also, on this day, the receptivity of our body and mind is the highest. That is why it is customary to give Suvarnabinduprashan on the day of Pushyanakshatra for the overall physical and mental development of the child.
Another important thing is that, when child comes a week before pushyanakshtra for having Suvarnabindu prashan, the complaints etc. in him are also examined. Accordingly, even a medicine can be started.
Contaminated phlegm and worms are the main causes of diseases in young children. With this in mind, we regularly give Ayurvedic medicine to the children who come for Suvarnabinduprashana, which reduces the contaminated phlegm and worms.
It contains herbal and non-herbal remedies like Vidang-Sunthi-Haridra-Yashti.
These ayurvedic medicines improve the metabolism of the body, boost the immune system and give strength to the body to fight against viral bacterial infections. As a result, babies who are suffering from frequent illnesses start getting better.
In today’s fast paced world parents do not have enough time to pay attention to their children. Therefore, the small complaints of his loved one are ignored.
Earlier, every fortnight, our grandfather used to gather all the children in the house and give them deworming medicine and after that, he used to give the medicine for loose motions.
In our childhood,
if we say that, I don’t want this while eating or didn’t finished food in the tray, We used to get slaps on the back.
After drinking milk, we used to wash the glass and make them drink it to make us feel the importance of that food.
These good things are forgotten somewhere today … !
Unknowingly, today’s babies are being fed like Broyler chickens raised in a cage.
From this, physical and mental disorders are arising in the baby. By examining those ailments, we doctors can see where our child is falling short on the occasion of this Suvarnabinduprashan.
Therefore, parents wishing their child’s health, following the advice of Ayurvedic physicians, should give Suvarnabinduprashan for 6 consecutive months, and continue to give Suvarnabinduprashan to every Pushyanakshatra regularly till the child reaches the age of 16 years (at least 12 years).
