Treating epilepsy with folk remedies

Epilepsy is a chronic disease of the brain characterized by attacks of motor, sensitive, autonomic, mental or psychic functions (convulsive and paroxysmal seizures) arising from the presence of a constant focus of epileptic activity in the cerebral cortex of the patient.

The cause of epilepsy is an increased hereditary or acquired brain readiness to develop seizures . The onset of the disease is facilitated by injuries, infections and other harmful factors.

The most common signs of epilepsy are convulsive seizures (large and small). They can arise at a fright, excitement , overfatigue , weakening of an organism by any illness, and sometimes and without any external reason. Often, before convulsive seizures, there is a general malaise with headache , irritability, bad mood.

In other cases, seizure occurs without any preceding phenomena. Approximately half of the cases are preceded by a short period (from several to tens of seconds) of acute mental disorder - the so-called aura. Her symptoms are very diverse. Some patients feel like a wind blow, others may experience dizziness, chills, fever, chest tightness, palpitations, auditory, visual and olfactory hallucinations; Sometimes the patient begins to make uniform automatic movements - scratching, fingering the things lying near him, stomping around, spinning.

There are large and small seizures. In large seizures, people usually suddenly lose consciousness and fall, groaning or screaming . There comes a sharp strain of the whole musculature: a tilt of the head back, a blue face with a grimace of fear, an expansion of the pupils with a lack of reaction to light, jaw clenching, bending of the hands in the elbow joints, clenching of the fists, stretching of the lower extremities. Next, convulsions of the upper and lower extremities, the head, sometimes occur involuntary urination and defecation. Gradually, convulsions become more rare and less pronounced (the muscles relax). Patients cease to react to the environment, fall asleep (or they come to consciousness in a state of complete loss of memory).

The so-called "small" seizures manifest a short-term (within a few seconds) loss of consciousness followed by a loss of memory of what happened. In this case, convulsions and other motor disturbances may be absent, although motor phenomena of various duration, obsessive movements, etc. are often observed.

Epileptic seizures in children are more common, but after the appearance of the first molars can pass. Sometimes the disease does not prevent children from developing normally mentally and physically, yet they should not be overworked with mental exercises, they should be treated with gentleness and without fail. Keep under medical supervision. Modern medicine has the means to reduce the frequency of seizures and even completely stop them. Treatment should begin as soon as possible; Its main condition is continuity. A sudden cessation of treatment causes an exacerbation of the disease. Traditional medicine has accumulated its own ways of helping people with epilepsy . The complexity of this disease makes you very careful with recommendations for self-medication: it is permissible in exceptional cases and only if there is no possibility of medical intervention.
