Swarnaprashan® & Childhood Immunity: Ayurveda’s Proven Tradition

In the realm of Ayurvedic medicine, few practices have stood the test of time as well as Swarnaprashan®, an ancient immunity-boosting formulation for children. Rooted in the classical Ayurvedic texts of Sage Kashyapa, this holistic supplement blends the potent properties of gold (swarn bhasma) with medhya (intellect-promoting) herbs, honey, and ghee to build lifelong wellness from an early age.

What is Swarnaprashan®?

The term Swarnaprashan comes from two Sanskrit words: Swarn (gold) and Prashan (to consume). This medicinal ritual involves administering purified and processed gold along with specific herbal ingredients to infants and children. It's not just a supplement—it's a holistic tradition that promotes mental, physical, and spiritual development.

Ancient Origins, Modern Relevance

In Ayurvedic literature, Swarnaprashan is said to:

• Enhance memory and learning capabilities

• Boost immune response and disease resistance

• Promote digestive health

• Aid in balanced growth and development

• Improve speech clarity and skin complexion

These benefits are particularly relevant in today’s environment, where children face increased exposure to pollutants, digital screens, and stress from a young age.

How is it Administered?

Swarnaprashan is traditionally administered on Pushya Nakshatra days—a highly auspicious lunar phase that amplifies the formulation’s potency. However, it can also be given daily or monthly depending on a child’s needs and constitution.

At Upanishad Ayurveda, our Swarnaprashan® drops are formulated following strict classical guidelines, ensuring purity and potency. It is suitable for children aged 0 to 16 years and should be taken on an empty stomach in the morning.
