My 25-year-old friend suffered from an epileptic stroke 2 years back, Since then she is on constant medication for which the doctor has advised lifelong. She used to get minor jerks during her menstrual cycles, but it was the first time she got an epileptic fit. After that, she never got it again. But sometimes the jerks do happen. Can she be fully cured? Please advise what is best for her. She has a 1-year-old kid too and she has developed the fear of an attack.

Hello User,

Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behaviour, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness.
Although it can be treated naturally by making some changes in the lifestyle and diet.

Dietary tips

  • Always eat fresh food which is freshly prepared and slightly warm.
  • Avoid eating cold foods and other cold beverages. 
  • Avoid foods that are bitter, acidic or pungent.
  • Have foods that sweet, sour or salty. 
  • Sprouts, nuts and beans should be included in your diet.
  • Don't use any artificial sweeteners. Replace your regular white sugar with brown sugar.
  • Consume sizable portions of carrots, beetroot, okra and asparagus.

Yoga

It is very essential to dedicate atleast 30min in yoga. Practicing yoga daily helps to improve blood circulation, nerve functioning and also improves immune system.

  • Start with the sukshma vyayama. Move fingers of your feet and hands, then roll your feet from the ankle antilock wise and clockwise 10-10 times. Move neck from right to left and then left to right 10- 10 times.
  • Then, do paschimottan asana, matsya asana and hala asana.

Some other tips

  • Clean and grind asparagus leaves and apply it on the area of pain caused by paralysis. 
  • For the releif of pain and inflammation, saute a few drumstick leaves in castor oil and apply on the affected area.
  • Grind the akarkara root into a fine paste and mix it with Mahua oil. Apply on the affected area twice or thrice a day.

Hello User,

It is the reaction of a very chronic diet which is filled with high fat and irregular bad eating habits which does not allow our body to stay healthy. Stress is another cause which affects the problem. The best advice when suffering from nervous problem is taking a natural way to treat it.

Going the natural way will only help in treating both mental and physical issue but will also help in preventing it. As the stressors in today's lifestyle have increased be it for a person working at home or corporate lifestyle everything needs to be tackled in a healthy manner. A lifestyle filled with green vegetables, fruits, exercise, and meditation will sort your issues.

With the following advice, we are sure you will be able to treat everything in a holistic way.

Eat:

Start the day with two-three glasses of warm water, this will help in flushing out the toxins and improve the state of metabolism by increasing it. The next thing is the inclusion of vegetable juice in your breakfast as this will help in giving the right amount of energy for the day. Going for a head massage, daily at night massage the head with coconut oil and aloe vera gel, this will help in soothing the nerves and reduce the episode of anxiety.

  • Keep at least two hours gap between your food and your sleep timing at night.
  • You can also choose to have vegetable juice in your breakfast to give your stomach relief and this is an easier way to absorb all the nutrients.
  • Stay hydrated.
  • The best thing is to have a good amount of raw vegetable in your diet.
  • Have an inch of ginger boiled in a cup of water with one teaspoon of honey with two tulsi leaves, this is the best natural blood thinner which can help in treating the illness.
  • Add seeds like pumpkin, flax and chia in order to get the best of minerals to strengthen the root nerves.

Exercise:

Taking a brisk walk in the early morning sun rays helps in treating all the problems, as the sun helps in treating the mood and freshen us for the whole day. Early morning walk is recommendable.

Suryanamaskar will help in treating the mental issues and will help in dealing with all problems, 12 sets a day is recommendable. If you are a beginner start with 6 and increase it.

Meditation:

Stop using the gadget on hour before sleep, you can use a fragrant diffuser where you can use essential oils and then with the smell itself you will start feeling calm.

Take 10 long deep breaths, and allowing your body to relax, any thought which comes let it go do not resist. Saying the affirmation, I am healthy and happy" release each breath. This will help a lot in treating migraine. Communicating with like-minded people always help, going to in groups make us not only share or idea and thoughts but motivate and learn something new.

Sleep:

The sleep is a very important part of treating any mental symptom, sleep cycle of 90 minutes should be completed in order to get a sound body. This sleep cycle should be repeated 5 times. This makes 7-8 hours of healthy sleep. This will make your body and mind strong and refreshing.

Hopefully, these suggestions will help.

Thank you.
