Understanding Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological condition impacting millions globally. In Ayurvedic terms, it's referred to as "Apasmara," which translates to a sudden loss of consciousness. Ayurveda attributes epilepsy to an imbalance in the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—within the nervous system. This blog will explore the Ayurvedic perspective on epilepsy, its causes, and how Ayurvedic treatments can help manage seizures.
Recognizing Epilepsy Symptoms
The hallmark of epilepsy is seizures, which can range in severity and length. Common symptoms include:
- Temporary episodes of confusion
- Periods of staring
- Involuntary jerking of the arms and legs
- Loss of consciousness or awareness
- Psychic experiences such as anxiety, fear, or déjà vu
Types of Seizures in Epilepsy
Epilepsy can involve different types of seizures. Focal (or partial) seizures arise from abnormal activity in a specific brain region. Symptoms of focal seizures might overlap with those of other neurological conditions, including migraines, narcolepsy, or mental health disorders. Accurate diagnosis requires a detailed examination and testing to differentiate epilepsy from other conditions.
