#Suvarna Prashan (Swarna Prashan)- Ayurvedic immunization for child

Suvarna Prashan (also called Swarna Prashana and Swarna Bindu Prashana) is an ayurvedic technique to enhance immunity and improve the intelligence of children. Swarna Prashana is an ancient health tonic for children. Swarna Prashana acts on the mind, brain, immune system, and skin. It promotes growth and development, maintains health, builds resistance to infections by developing non-specific immunity, and improves complexion.


The purpose of Suvarna-Prashan is same as of modern vaccination to prevent diseases by building immunity against bacteria and viruses. However, Suvarna-Prashan has no specific indications like an individual vaccine, but it improves the overall immunity of children.
Swarna Prashana is effective for precluding upper respiratory tract infections and preventing common cold and flu. It can also prevent other diseases later in the life. This concept has no limitation only to bacterial or viral infections.
Suvarna-Prashan also benefits in a proper brain development. It improves memory, intelligence, verbal and cognitive functions of the brain.

Suvarna Prashan Sanskar is an immuno-modulatory technique and one of the ancient Indian rituals used in Indian medicine and Hindu Families for children.its comes under 16 samskar mentioned in classics.
Micro-fine and Calcined gold particles, also called Swarna (Suvarna) bhasma, is used with medicated ayurvedic ghee (clarified butter) and honey in unequal amounts in this process.

Age for Suvarna Prashan

However, Suvarna-Prashan requires administration as early as possible. A child with age 0 to 16 years is eligible for taking Swarna Prashana.
However, the specific age of giving Swarna Prashana is not described in ayurvedic texts, but the early administration of Suvarna-Prashan is greatly helpful for building immunity and intelligence. The capacity to build immunity against various diseases and infections is higher in early childhood and 90% brain development takes place by the age of five.
Therefore, it would be good to give Suvarna-Prashan before an age of five for maximum benefits. Suvarna-Prashan has great effects on brain and intelligence, but it would help more before the age of 5 years.

Ingredients of Swarna Prashana

The main ingredient of Swarna Prashana is Swarna (Pure Gold). The ingredient list is as follows:
  1. Swarna (Pure Gold)
  2. Water
  3. Cow’s Ghee
  4. Pure Honey
Nowadays, Swarna Bhasma is used in Swarna Prashana, which has better safety profile and efficacy as compared to unprocessed gold. The process used for making Bhasma reduces the possible unwanted effects and increases its effectiveness.

Ancient Method of Swarna Prashana

The main method described in the Kashyapa Samhita is as follows:
  1. Take small water and Pure Gold. Rub gold in the water on a clean grinding stone facing east direction.
  2. Now, mix water and rubbed gold with Honey and Cow’s Ghee.
  3. This mixture is given to the child to increase non-specific immunity.

Dosage & Preparation of Swarna Prashana

The exact dosage is not described in the Kashyapa Samhita. Therefore, The dosage of Swarna Bhasma should be calculated for infant and children on the basis of its adult dosage.
Different classical texts write different dosage of Swarna Bhasma, which varies from 15 mg to 125 mg, but nowadays, the most accepted dosage of Swarna Bhasma in ayurvedic practice is 15 to 30 mg twice daily. Therefore, the amount of Swarna Bhasma in Swarna Prashana can be calculated on this dosage.
According to the calculation of Swarna Bhasma dosage for infants and children, 1 to 15 mg Swarna Bhasma should be present in a single dosage of Swarna Prashana.
Some ayurvedic doctors also calculate dosage according to body weight of the child. Swarna Bhasma in dosage of 0.25 to 0.50 mg per Kg body weight in a single dosage of Swarna Prashana should be the ideal dosage for infants and children (up to age of 16 years), but the total dosage should not exceed 30 mg per day if child is overweight.

The single dosage is also considered effective if taken immediately after birth or as soon as possible following the birth. It can be repeated every month for enhanced preventive effects.
It is also recommended to use daily basis for 30 days to 6 months according to Kashyapa Samhita for the desired effects on immunity and intelligence. Obviously, the regular use will be more effective than single use. After 6 months, it should be stopped.
The amount of Ghee and Honey can vary, but Honey should be doubled than Ghee by weight or Ghee should be doubled than Honey by weight. Do not mix them in equal proportion, which is against ayurveda principles.
The dosage of Ghee and Honey is also not specified in Classical texts. In infants (up to the age of 12 months), their dosage should be kept minimal as much as possible because the digestive system is not well developed to digest honey and ghee properly. However, most of infants digest the above mentioned dosage even more without any trouble, as per our experience.
Medicated ayurvedic Ghee like Brahmi Ghee (Brahmi Ghrita) can also be used instead of normal cow’s ghee for more beneficial effects on the brain.
