Clinical study to evaluate the effect of Suvarnaprashan Yoga on growth and development in children

Abstract

Suvarnaprashan Yoga, an ancient Ayurvedic practice, is a unique combination of Suvarna and herbal formulations, primarily used to enhance mental, physical, and immune health in children. This practice has been a part of traditional medicine for centuries, especially in the context of preventive healthcare and cognitive development. Suvarnaprashan is typically administered in the form of a liquid preparation, which contains Suvarna Bhasma (colloidal gold), along with various herbal ingredients like Brahmi, Vacha, and Shankhapushpi, known for their neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties. The main aim of Suvarnaprashan Yoga is to stimulate the mind, enhance intelligence, improve memory, and promote overall vitality in children. This research article explores the scientific basis, therapeutic benefits, and clinical applications of Suvarnaprashan Yoga, with a focus on its pharmacological mechanisms, safety, and effectiveness. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, this study seeks to evaluate the contemporary relevance of Suvarnaprashan as an alternative or adjunct to modern medical treatments for cognitive and developmental disorders. Further clinical trials are recommended to validate its efficacy in pediatric healthcare, with a particular emphasis on long-term outcomes.
