Abstract

"Swarnaprashana" is a specific Ayurvedic treatment that involves using technique on kids. Acharya Kashyapa mentioned this practice thousands of years ago. It is made abundantly evident that giving children Swarna (gold) can enhance their Medha, Agni, metabolism, strength, immunity, complexion, and longevity. Gold has been around for a while and comes in several forms. Children's Swarnaprashana is frequently linked to two Ayurvedic principles: Jatakarma Samskara (child care) and Lehana (additional nourishment). This study aims to assess previous research that could help dispel some common misconceptions about the subject. Here are discussed age and methods of application, advantages and dosages, as well as accounts of scientific investigations from several old Ayurvedic sources. This review demonstrates that Swarnaprashana has multiple benefits, notably enhanced immunity, greater digestion and metabolism, enhanced IQ, and prevention of illnesses. For internal ingestion, only pure and treated gold is advised by Ayurveda. Based on the child's health services, one can ascertain the age at which Swarnaprashana would be conducted and this duration.
