Best Vaccination - Suvarnaprashan

- Health Sanjeevani

- The topic we are going to discuss today is very important for children. The name of this subject is 'Suvarnaprashan'.

Suvarna means gold and prashan means 'chatadvu'. The ashes of Suvarna are mixed with substances affecting the brain like 'Brahmi', 'Shankhapuspi' etc. and placed in Pushyanakshatra is known as 'Suvarnaprashan'.

In Ayurveda, the best sacrament called 'Suvarnaprashan' is shown which can be done from the birth of a child till he is 18 years old. Which is an ayurvedic ritual, also called braintonic. Suvarnaprashan increases a child's intelligence, memory and immunity. This Suvarnaprashan is beneficial for children from birth to 15 years. By the age of 18, children are developing their brains and intelligence very quickly.

Gold also spreads to every source of the baby due to its subtlety qualities and also enhances the immunity of the baby. The nature of children is mostly phlegm. So they often get colds, coughs, etc. quickly. But as the immune system grows, the child is less likely to get sick. Suvarnaprashan increases the brain power and memory of children and they become interested in learning difficult subjects as soon as they are remembered and understood. He does not get bored. Does not become irritable and does not panic or get depressed due to difficult subjects coming up in the upper standards. Just as regular watering improves plant growth, regular suvarnaprasana speeds up and improves a child's brain.

As in modern science, children are given the power to fight certain diseases by vaccinating them against polio, BCG etc. Similarly in Ayurveda 'Suvarnaprashan' makes the brain cells of the child more functional.

There is a statement in Ayurveda that 'Suvarnaprashan' done according to the advice of a proper doctor with the right ritual makes the child brilliant that he can remember only by listening to 'Shrutdhar' meaning listening.

But today, when the price of gold is sky high, it is also doubtful whether gold is actually drunk in the 'Suvarnaprashan' sacrament. Therefore, children should not insist on 'Suvarnaprashan' from the expensive bottles of Suvarnaprashan which are already available, but they should insist on giving the medicinal prashan to the children along with Suvarna in front of the eye of the expert in the scriptural method, so that proper result can be obtained. The effect of Pushyanakshatra on the gold metal is very great. So it is more beneficial to get gold in this constellation. In today's age when a couple has 1 or 2 children it is the duty of every couple to see that the child becomes very strong physically and mentally, for which Suvarnaprashan is the best treatment. And it is also very good to perform this sacrament according to the advice of an expert doctor till the child reaches the age of 18 years.

Apart from this I will show you some home remedies for some diseases which will be very useful for mothers of young infants.
