During our ancient times, the food itself was medicine. There used to be the application of home remedies or ayurvedic medicines first to combat any disease or infection. But now with the emergence of a busy lifestyle, we have become more inclined towards modern medicines, genetically modified food, and chemically-treated drinks. Hence, nowadays it has become a challenge for every parent to keep their children healthy and strong.
Swarnaprashan is a remedy or a way to boost kid’s immunity system, naturally. It is time-tested and has been practiced since ages by our ancestors and gurus. It strengthens overall health and enhances the intellectual power of a child. And most importantly, it does not have any side-effect.
Swarnaprashan (Suvarnaprashan) is a unique blend of Swarna bhasma (ash of gold), honey, ghee, vital herbal extracts and ayurvedic ingredients like Bhramhi, Manjishtha, Vacha, Chitrak, etc. It is given orally to a child to build long-lasting health and to increase intellectual power, naturally.

If someone takes a closer look at the sky to see Pushya Nakshatra arrangement it looks like a Cow’s Udder. As we all know, Cow is a holy animal, and it nourishes us in several ways, hence Pushya Nakshatra is considered to be the best day for giving Swarnaprashan to a child.
