Importance of Swarna bhasma
In the text of Rasendra Chudamani, the action of swarna bhasma is mentioned as a panacea (a solution or remedy for all difficulties or diseases) and that it will enhance the immunity. Swarna bhasma is attributed with the actions like nourisher, aphrodisiac, antidote to poison, cardio tonic, improves complexion, increases decisive power, intelligence and memory. It cures tuberculosis, increases strength, treats insanity and epilepsy.
Importance of pure honey
Honey is immunomodulatory and used as a medium i.e. Anupana (It is the liquid that is advised along with the medicine or advised after intake of the medicine) for the absorption of drugs.
Importance of medicated ghee
Ghee has unique property of acquiring the properties of herbs which are added to it. Nervine tonics like mandukaparni (centella asiatica), brahmi (bacopa monnieri), guduchi (Giloy), yastimadhu (Liquorice), vacha (Acorus calamus) etc. are added to ghee and medicated ghee is processed. This ghee is useful in potentiating mental ability.
Last but not the least……..Why Pushya Nakshatra?
The day of Pushya Nakshatra is very auspicious and according to Hindu religion all the Nakshatras have their own effect on different metals. The rays radiating on the Pushya Nakshatra day doubles the medicinal values present in gold.
So it is a good practice to provide swarna bindu prashana to the babies in order to build a healthy and intelligent community.
