HELLO TRACEY,

Epilepsy is called Apasmara in Ayurveda. It is condition where the normal functioning of the brain is disturbed, leading to recurrent seizures, which are sudden episodes of altered awareness, movements, or loss of consciousnness

CAUSES IN AYURVEDA It usuall happens when vata dosha in the brain becomes imbalanced. vata controls nervous system signals, so when it becomes irregular, the brain gets overstimulated, leading to seizures Sometimes, kapha and pitta also contribute -VATA= causes sudden jerks, trembling, or convulsions -KAPHA= causes heaviness, slow response, lethargy -PITTA= causes irritability, heat or inflammation in the brain

BODY TISSUES INVOLVED -Rasa(plasma), Rakta (blood), Meda (fat), Majja (nervous tissue), when these are disturbed, the brain’s function becomes irregular

COMMON TRIGGERS -Stress, irregular sleep, fasting, heavy or oily food, mental strain, suppressed urges, or infection

SYMPTOMS PATIENT USUALLY NOTICE -sudden loss of awareness -stiffening or jerkin of body parts -confusion or tiredness after seizures -sometimes aura - strange sensation, smell or visual change before seizure

TREATMENT GOALS -balance the vat kapha, and Pitta doshas to calm the nervous system -strengthen brain and nervous tissue -prevent recurrence of seizures and reduce frequency/severity -improve overall mental clarity, memory, and calmness -detoxify and remove aggravated doshas gently without weakening th body

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS 1) BRAHMI GHRITA= 5ml with warm milk daily for 3 months =nourishes brain, calms vata, improves memory

2) KALYANAKA GHRITA= 10 ml with warm milk daily for 3 months =nervine tonic, anti - convulsant

3) SWARNAMRITHA GHRITA= 1/4 tsp in morning =rejuvinates brain, enhances nerves function, reduces convulsions

4) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA + BRAHMI + SANKHAPUSHPI= ashwaganda 3gm + brahmi 2 gm + shankhapushpi 2 gm with warm milk daily at night for 3 months =strengthens nervous system, reduces seizures

5) TAGAR + VACHA + SANKHAPUSHPI DECOCTION= dehoctio of all three herbs in water 30 ml twice daily = sedative, reduces excitability, anti convulsant

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE=with ksheerbala taila daily =reduces stiffness, improves blood and nerve supply

2) NASYA= instil 2 drops of Brahmi taila in each nostril =nourishes brain and clears nasal channels

LIFESTYLE AND DAILY HABITS -SLEEP= 7-8 hours, avoid oversleeping or sleep deprivation -STRESS MANAGEMENT= meditation, calm music, mindfullness -ROUTINE= wake early, follow as regular schedule -AVOID= excess caffeine ,alcohol, heavy, fried or processed foods -MENTAL CARE= avoid overexertion, prolonged screen time, loud environment

YOGA ASANAS -shavasana -vajrasana -balasana -supta baddha konasana

PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana -bhramri -deep, slow breathing to calm vata and mind

DIET -warm, cooked, easily digestible food -rice, barely, moong dal -ghee in moderation -cooked vegetables= spinach, carrot, pumpkin, bottle gourd -milk and soaked nuts- almonds, walnuts -sattvik foods= fresh, mild, nourishing

AVOID -cold or raw foods -heavy, fried, oily foods -excess meat, fermented foods -caffeine, alcohol, sugary processed foods

HOME REMEDIES

1) BRAHMI POWDER= 2gm with warm milk daily 2) ASHWAGANDHA MILK= 1 tsp with warm milk at night 3) MEDITATION AND MUSIC THERAPY= soothing music or chanting 4) WARM OIL MASSAGE= once o r twice weekly with bala oil

EPILEPSY can improve significantly with combined Ayurvedic care and lifestyle adjustments, but seizures may still occur, so do not stop prescribed medicines without a neurologist -Consitency in diet, sleep, medications yoga and lifestyle is key -stress reduction and mental calmness are just as important as medicines

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
