Swarna Bindu Prashana
Swarna Bindu Prashana – Ancient Ayurvedic Immunization for Children
At Ayur Kerala Vaidyashala, we are proud to offer Swarna Bindu Prashana, a time-tested practice for children that supports overall health, brain development, and disease resistance. Rooted in the classical Ayurvedic text Kashyapa Samhita, this method is a safe, natural, and holistic approach to nurturing your child’s physical, emotional & mental well-being.
What is Swarna Bindu Prashana?
Swarna Bindu Prashana is an Ayurvedic formulation made from:
- Swarna bhasma (pure gold bhasma)
- Medhya herbs (brain tonics like Brahmi, Shankhapushpi, Vacha, Jatamamsi, Ashwagandha, Mandukaparni, etc.)
- Ghee (clarified butter)
- Honey (in appropriate proportions)
Why on Pushya Nakshatra?
Swarna Bindu Prashana is most effective when given on the day of Pushya Nakshatra, an auspicious constellation that occurs roughly once every 27 days. On this day, the body’s ability to absorb the medicine is believed to be at its peak.
We schedule our sessions accordingly and encourage parents to bring their children during these special timings for maximum benefit.
