What Is Suvarnprashan?
Suvarnprashan is an ancient Ayurvedic treatment specifically designed for children to enhance their immunity, physical strength, and mental development. The word "Suvarnprashan" is derived from Sanskrit where "Suvarna" means gold and "Prashan" means to consume. This traditional practice involves administering medicated gold preparations to children.
This sacred treatment has been mentioned in ancient Ayurvedic texts and is considered one of the most important preventive healthcare practices for children. At Shree Dhanwantari Ayurvedic Hospital, we follow the authentic traditional methods to prepare and administer Suvarnprashan, ensuring the highest quality and effectiveness.
