Swarna Prashan: The 5,000-Year-Old Secret to Stronger Immunity in Kids

Swarna Prashan, a lesser-known gem of Ayurveda, has been practiced since Vedic times as a powerful tonic for children. Derived from two Sanskrit words—‘Swarna’ meaning gold and ‘Prashan’ meaning administration—this formulation involves giving children micro-doses of purified 24-carat gold ash blended with herbs like Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, and Vacha.

This golden remedy is mentioned in the ancient Ayurvedic text Kashyapa Samhita as a Rasayana (rejuvenator) for infants and children. Traditionally administered during specific lunar constellations (Pushya Nakshatra), Swarna Prashan is believed to improve memory, boost immunity, aid digestion, enhance complexion, and promote longevity.

Scientific studies today are validating these claims, highlighting its antioxidant and immuno-modulatory properties. Parents who have consistently used Swarna Prashan report fewer sick days, better focus in school, and improved appetite in their children. It's a powerful blend of tradition and efficacy—proving that sometimes, the oldest solutions are the most effective.
