A disorder in which nerve cell activity and brain’s electrical signaling is disrupted, causing seizures, is called epilepsy. It is correlated with Apasmara in ayurveda. Apa refers to negation or loss & smara means recollection or memory.
Imagine a world where 70% of epilepsy sufferers could avoid seizures if their condition was correctly identified and treated through Ayurveda . 50 million people worldwide suffer from epilepsy and the answer to healing would be to adopt a traditional medicine & plant based treatment that is attuned to the cycles of nature. Epilepsy is not caused by a single seizure. Two or more unprovoked seizures are considered to be an epileptic seizure.
Depending on which part of the brain is involved, seizures can affect people in different ways.
Vitiation of Mansik Doshas i.e Rajas and Tamas (Due to anxiety, stress, fear, grief) + Vitiation of Sharirik Doshas i.e Vata, Pita, Kapha (predominant vata vitiation) (due to an unhealthy lifestyle) The doshas get accumulated in mano vaha strotas called the channels of mind. This leads to affliction of smriti (memory), illusion of mind, visual hallucinations, seizures, tonic spasm and clonic jerks and frothy salivation.

Q. How is Epilepsy different from a seizure?
Ans. Epilepsy is a neurological illness characterized by multiple recurring unpredictable seizures, whereas a seizure is a single occurrence of spontaneous electrical disturbance in the brain causing uncontrolled movements.
Q. How long do seizures usually last?
Ans. A seizure can last anywhere between few seconds to few minutes depending on the nature of the seizure.
Q. If I have a seizure, does that mean I have epilepsy?
Ans. Other medical conditions can also cause seizures, eg:- electrolyte imbalance, brain infections, poisoning, high fever, low sugar levels and withdrawal from drugs or alcohol.
Q. Can I exercise and play sports if I have epilepsy?

Q. How do you treat Epilepsy in Ayurveda?
