A Review of Swarna Yog (Swarn Bhasma, Guduchi Ghansatwa & Brahmi Ghrita) in Enhancement of Vyadhikshamatwa in the Children

Dr. Abhishek Kumar, Dr Ramesh Kumar Gautam

Abstract: Health has always been regarded as the fundamental basis of life, since it is only through sound health that an individual can achieve the four puru??rthas (objectives of human life). The healthy growth and transformation of a child into adulthood is a dynamic process influenced by multiple factors such as balanced nutrition, appropriate age-related development, genetic constitution, and protection from diseases. In the present era, where newer infectious diseases are constantly emerging and posing a serious threat to childhood health, there is an ever-increasing need to strengthen the natural defense mechanisms of the body from an early age. Enhancing the first line of defense in children not only reduces the burden of recurrent infections but also supports overall growth, development, and quality of life. In this context, the treasures of Ayurveda offer safe and time-tested interventions which can play a pivotal role in preventive pediatrics. Among these, Swarnaprashan-described as a form of Lehana Karma-is a unique traditional practice aimed at promoting Vy?dhik?amatva (immunity) and strengthening both physical and mental health in children. Its significance lies in the fact that it enhances resistance against infections without causing harmful adverse effects, thereby serving as a boon in the field of child health and preventive medicine.
