Epilepsy or falling sickness or Apasmara as known in Ayurveda is a chronic neurological disorder that leads to a person suddenly getting unconscious. An individual suffering from Epilepsy has the tendency to suffer continuous fits due to a sudden disorder in the brain’s electrical activity. Epileptic seizures often start before an individual hits his/her adulthood. This condition can be cured via ayurvedic consultation and also control the frequency of seizures and worsening of the disease.
Seizures basically have two categories -
1.Partial - If one part of the brain suffers from disorder in electrical activity, it penetrates in other areas as well which consists of complex partial seizures, simple partial seizures, and secondarily generalized seizures.
2.General - When the entire brain suffers from electrical activity disorder which includes absence seizures as well as tonic clonic convulsions.
