Hello Deepanshu, it is necessary to examine you properly before suggesting any medications or treatments. This is Vata dominant disorder and there is involvement of the Agni or the digestive system too. There are many internal and external treatments in Ayurveda that can prove beneficial for you but without proper examination it would not be ideal to mention anything. Apart from that maintain a moderately active lifestyle and avoid over exertion of the body and mind as well. Restorative pranayam and yogic practices are very beneficial. Full body self massage with Mahanarayan oil will be a good start to pacify the Vata and improve muscle bulk. How is your appetite & digestion in general?

For managing epilepsy along with your goal of improving weight and physical strength, Ayurveda can offer supportive therapies to complement your current treatment with Valprol. Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) and Jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi) are two herbs known for their calming effects on the nervous system and can support neurological health. Ashwagandha and Shatavari are beneficial for enhancing strength, stamina, and healthy weight gain, helping to nourish tissues and improve muscle tone. Saraswatharishtam or Kalyanaka Ghrita (medicated ghee) may also aid in nervous system support and physical vitality; however, these should be taken under professional guidance due to their potency.

Since exercise tends to trigger seizures for you, start with light activities like yoga and Pranayama (breathing exercises), focusing on calming asanas such as Sukhasana (Easy Pose), Vajrasana (Thunderbolt Pose), and gentle stretches to build stamina gradually. Abhyanga (self-massage with warm sesame oil) can improve circulation, muscle tone, and relaxation, promoting both physical and mental stability.

For a more personalized approach, it would be helpful to understand your daily diet, lifestyle, and any specific triggers. Additionally, monitoring with your neurologist for any changes in symptoms is essential while incorporating Ayurvedic treatments.
