Cure the convulsion

Dr Ravi Kant

Epilepsy is a disease that leads to a lot of pain and suffering in addition to the social stigma attached with it. Suppression of disease alters thinking capabilities, learning abilities and sleep patterns of the patient. However, homoeopathy has an answer to this malady and can not only effectively treat, but also eradicate the root cause of it.

Signs & symptoms 

Epilepsy is a disorder where nerve cell activity is disturbed, causing recurrent seizures with abnormal motor, sensory and mental functions. It affects the electrical system of the brain, causing tonic and colonic convulsions of different intensity as well as duration. There are short spells of confusion, memory and sensory loss; at times loss of control over bladder and bowel movements, followed by spells of exhaustion, tiredness and at times stupor. There are episodes of temporary stiffness of parts or the whole body with drooling, frothing, lock-jaw and jerking of limbs. 

Numerous causes 

Causes include febrile convulsions or episodes at start of adolescence or menarche. Injury to brain or granuloma or cysticercosis could be another reason for it. Tumours, AIDS, encephalitis and autism could be other causes. Prenatal injuries and brain strokes can also cause this disease. 

Homoeopathy helps

Homeopathy takes into consideration the personality of the patient, causative factors, peculiar symptoms of the disease; age, state of mind of the patient and family history as major factors in selection of remedy on the basis of individualisation. Expertise and diligence can bring path-breaking success.
