Swarna Amrutha Prashana, an ayurvedic medicine is  provided to children aged 0 to 16 years on every Pushyami nakshatram. During the Pushyami star, the moon’s proximity to the earth enhances the medicinal properties of the herbs, thereby augmenting the potency of the medicine, boosting immunity, and enhancing memory power. Consequently, the medicine is specifically administered on this auspicious day.

This unique immunization method aids in maximizing brain capacity and developing non-specific immunity against common ailments. Mentioned in ancient texts, Swarna Amrutha Prashana is one of sixteen samskaras for pediatric care, fostering lasting health and intellect naturally without harmful side effects. It involves administering swarnabhasma (gold ash) mixed with honey and ghee fortified with herbal extracts like vacha, brahmi, shankupushpi, etc. This process promotes holistic growth, particularly beneficial for children with special needs such as autism, learning difficulties, and attention deficit disorder.
