Since ancient times, holistic practices like Swarna Bindu Prashana have been integral to Ayurvedic traditions. Over time, these practices became rituals embedded in daily life, referred to as ‘Samskaras,’ which mark significant life events such as pregnancy, childbirth, education, and marriage. These samskaras help individuals live a fulfilled, balanced life both physically and spiritually.
Swarna Bindu Prashana, a unique immunization practice, involves administering Swarna (gold nanoparticles), along with honey, cow’s ghee, and herbal medicines, in prescribed quantities based on the child’s age and constitution. This process, typically performed during the auspicious day of Pushya Nakshatra, aims to boost intellect, memory, and immunity in children.
What is Swarna Bindu Prashana?
Swarna Bindu Prashana is a traditional Ayurvedic immunization technique where ‘Swarna Bhasma’ (gold ash) mixed with herbal extracts is given to children to enhance their immune system and intellectual capabilities. This method is known to benefit children with autism, hyperactivity, learning difficulties, and developmental delays.
Why Swarnaprashana on Pushya Nakshatra Day?
Pushya Nakshatra, considered highly auspicious, is associated with nourishment and flourishing, making it the ideal day for administering Swarna Bindu Prashana. Given monthly on this day, the practice is believed to bring significant health benefits and ensure optimal absorption of the herbs and gold.
Duration and Dosage of Swarna Prashana
Swarna Bindu Prashana can be administered to newborns up to children aged 16. The dosage typically varies based on the child’s age:
- Newborn to 2 years: 2 drops
- 2 years to 16 years: 4 drops
It is recommended to administer this daily for at least one month or on every Pushya Nakshatra day for an extended period for optimal results.
