6. Ingredients Of Swarna Bindu Prashana
Swarna bindu prashana contains
three ingredients:
A ) Suddha medhya aushadhi
siddha ghruta.
B ) Shuddha swarna bhasma.
C) Shuddha madhu.

7. IMPORTANCE OF SHUDDHA MEDHYAUSHADHI SIDDHA GHRUTA:
Ghruta has the unique property of acquiring the
gunas of dravyas which are added to it.
Medhyaushadhis like manduka parni, brahmi, guducchi ,
yashtimadhu, vacha etc are added to ghruta and
according to the procedure it is prepared.
This ghruta is useful in potentiating the mental ability.
According to ayurveda ( A.SAM. SU virudhannapaneeya adhyaya):
 Ghruta and madhu mixed in equal quantity acts as visha.
 This same theory is used in Swarna bindu prashana.
Madhu and ghruta in equal doses is given at regular intervals.
 This develops resistance in the body for any type of visha.
 In other WORDs it produces immunity.

8. IMPORTANCE OF SHUDDHA SWARNA BHASMA:
Suvarna is one of the shreshta medhya
dravyas explained in ayurveda.
Kashyapacharya in lehana vidhi adhyaya
explains that suvarna should be used in
lehana karma. As suvarna is a metal’
it can’t be administered directly.
So suvarna is made into bhasma and used.
This suvarna bhasma is laghu gunatmaka,
easy for absorption and assimilation. It is
also medha vardhaka.
When it is administered in very low doses
for a particular time it is known to potentiate
the memory power along with immunity.

9. Swarna is known to
 increase immunity of cells
 & brings sthairya (stability) to cells
as Gold itself does not react because of which
we can wear gold items without need to polish it
where as Silver, copper & other metals react &
needs to be polished.
 Also Gold attracts lot of positive energy
(has been proved) because of which in Indian
tradition wearing of Gold has been advised.
Hence Gold is very useful as Immune booster.
 According to susruta-sarir 10/15,
 One can give lehan of suvarna bhasma
with madhu and ghrit after cutting cord
in jatkarma sanskar.!!!

10. IMPORTANCE OF SHUDDHA MADHU:
Madhu is collection of pollen grains by bees.
In day today life it is observed that pollen
grains acquire a great percentage in
producing allergic reactions leading
to many diseases.
The main reason for using madhu in Swarna
bindu prashana is that when madhu is
administered in low doses in childhood itself
then child gradually develops resistance
for allergens and it remains unaffected by
allergens.

11. Whom to administer :
It should be given to children from the 1st day of birth till the age of 16 years.
Time of administration :
Suvarna prashan can be done daily early in the
morning, or atleast on every Pushya nakshatra-an
auspicious day which happens to come after
every 27 days, given on this day it bestows
excellent benefits.
