Epilepsy is a disorder of the nervous system which is characterized by the tendency of a person to have seizures. Seizure refers to the appearance of symptoms (depending upon the type of seizure) in a person due to abnormal and excessive nerve cell activity in the brain. The result is abnormal behavior and sensations, including loss of consciousness. There are a variety of seizures with different symptoms depending on the part of the brain involved. Homeopathy provides treatment for Seizures in the natural way. The completely natural homeopathic remedies for epilepsy are completely safe and have no side effects. These remedies are of great help in the treatment of Epilepsy.
Natural Homeopathic Remedies for Epilepsy
Epilepsy can be treated with homeopathy which helps treat acute fits as well as eliminates the tendency to have seizures. An inquiry is to be made regarding the type of seizure, aura, triggering factors, finding other causes and individual dominant symptoms in each and every case. The results of the Homeopathy vary in every case depending upon the duration and type of seizure.
1. Cicuta: Where there are Distortions of Body
Cicuta is one of the best medicines for Epilepsy where the attacks of convulsion are marked by violent, distorted body shape. The distortions are most frightful. There is present a marked Opisthotonus — which refers to the condition where the spine bends backward with the head and heels touching the ground. The person is totally unconscious. The face may be blue and the jaw appears locked. Cicuta is also one of the best herbal remedies for epilepsy following head injury. Cicuta can be used for convulsions occurring in children during dentition (development of teeth and their arrangement in the mouth), in women during and after delivery and also for convulsions due to worms. But the condition to be fulfilled for using this remedy in these situations is the presence of violent body distortions. The triggering factors for using Cicuta are touch and noise. An auditory aura may show its presence.
2. Artemisia Vulgaris: For Epilepsy with Petit Mal Seizure
Artemisia Vulgaris is the best natural medicine to tackle cases of Petit Mal Epilepsy. This remedy is of great help for children with Petit Mal seizures. The main symptom is frequent brief episodes of seizures in a short time period. The triggering factor for the seizure is strong emotions, including fear. Any subjective feeling predictive of the onset of a seizure prior to an attack is absent (absence of aura).
3. Stramonium: For Epileptic Convulsions Triggered by Bright Light
Stramonium is the most suitable natural medicine where the convulsion arises after exposure to bright light or shining objects. The consciousness is preserved and jerking of muscles of the upper body part is experienced by the patient.
4. Cuprum Met: When Aura for Seizure Attack is felt in Knees
Cuprum Met is the top medicine when the seizure attack is preceded by an aura in the knee. The symptoms marked during the attack are clonic spasm that usually begins in finger or toes and soon covers the entire body. Jerking of muscles is also noticed. The triggering factors for the attack include fright and anger. In females, Cuprum Met is used for the treatment of convulsion during pregnancy, after delivery and around the menstrual period.
5. Bufo Rana: For Epileptic Fit during Sleep
Bufo Rana is a natural medicine of great help in providing a cure for Epilepsy seizures where the attacks are present during sleep. The aura is felt in the genital area. It also works well for females who have attacks of seizures during menses.
6. Hyoscyamus: For Deep Sleep following Epileptic Attack
The best natural medicine when deep sleep follows an epileptic fit is Hyoscyamus. The other symptoms include picking at bedclothes and playing with hands and muscular twitching.
Other Important Medicines
1. For epileptic fits during fever (Febrile seizures)
Belladonna and Nux Vomica are natural medicines that are very beneficial in cases of Febrile seizures. Belladonna is the ideal mode of treatment when there is fever with marked heat. The head is extremely hot with jerking of muscles. Nux Vomica is of great help when extreme chilliness is present with seizures.
2. For Epileptic fits as per the Triggering Factor
Chamomilla and Nux Vomica are the natural medicines that are of great help for the treatment of epileptic fits triggered due to anger outbursts. For fits after a fright, Opium, Aconite are ideal remedies. In cases where alcoholic drinks trigger the attack, the most appropriate medicines are Ran Bulb and Nux Vomica.
3. For Epileptic fit arising from Head Injury
For Epilepsy cases that mark their origin to head injury, Hypericum, Nat Sulph and Cicuta are the natural medicines that offer the best mode of treatment.
4. For Epileptic fit arising from Brain Tumours
Medicines that are of help in the treatment of fits due to tumors in the brain are Plumbum, Cicuta and Conium.
5. For Epilepsy during Dentition
Chamomilla, Kali Bromatum and Aethusa have proved their worth in treatment of epileptic fits during dentition (development of teeth and their arrangement in the mouth). Chamomilla is best suited when anger triggers a fit during dentition. Kali Bromatum is the ideal remedy when there is a jerking of muscles. Aethusa is selected when the symptoms are clenched thumbs, fixed pupils and a locked jaw. Eyes are turned downwards.
6. For Epileptic fits due to Suppressed Eruptions
Zincum, Agaricus and Cicuta are natural remedies that work well when the history of suppressing eruptions is ruled out prior to the onset of convulsion history.
7. Medicines as per type of Seizure in Epilepsy
The selection of natural medicines can be ruled out only after taking a complete case history of the patient.
Petit Mal Seizures: The natural medicines for treating Petit Mal Seizures are Artemisia, Belladonna, Zincum, and Hyoscyamus.
Clonic Seizures: Agaricus and Cuprum are the best natural medicines for Clonic Seizures. Agaricus is a great nervous remedy. It is a beneficial remedy when there is a jerking of a single muscle group or the whole body. Cuprum is ideal when the problem starts in toes or fingers and spreads to the entire body.
Tonic Seizures: Cicuta and Plumbum are the best medicines for Tonic Seizures. Cicuta and Plumbum bring about a marked rigidity in the body during tonic convulsions.
Types of Seizures with Symptoms
Focal (Partial Seizure): When the seizures occur due to the involvement of one area of the brain, they are known as Focal Seizures. These are of two types: Simple Partial and Complex Partial. In Simple Partial cases, the person remains conscious, has a sudden emotional experience (feeling of joy, sadness, fear, sexual arousal), has hallucinations of hearing, taste, smell or vision, and there may also be an involuntary jerking of body parts. In Complex Partial Seizure, the person’s consciousness is altered or lost. The symptoms include staring, automatism (repeated rhythmic, purposeless movements) like eye blinking, hand rubbing, walking in a circle, mouth movements, smacking movement of lips, picking at bedclothes. After a few minutes, consciousness is regained and the drowsy feeling may remain.[toc]
Generalized Seizure: When all areas of the brain are involved, then generalized seizures occur. These are of the following types:
Tonic-Clonic (Grand Mal Seizures): The symptoms are a loss of consciousness and stiffness or rigidity of body with falling down. Respiration arrest and blueness of body also occur. This is followed by relaxation resulting in jerking of the body. The jerking is followed by regaining of consciousness but confusion, impaired memory, headache, and sleepiness. Loss of bladder control and tongue biting are common in these types of seizures. Aura precedes the attack. Aura is a subjective feeling experienced by a patient whereby he or she becomes aware that an attack is about to begin.
Tonic seizures: In these seizures, muscle stiffness mainly of back, arms and legs occur.
Clonic seizures: These seizures cause muscle jerking.
Absence (Petit Mal/Minor Seizure): The symptoms are minor like mainly staring or just a slight tilt in the head, and brief alteration of consciousness usually for seconds. There is no fall or muscle contraction. A person may have more than 20 episodes per day. It is common in childhood. The person gets normal without any confusion when the seizure is over.
Causes And Triggering Factors Of Epilepsy Seizures
The main causes of Epilepsy and resultant seizures include Meningitis, head injury or trauma, stroke, brain tumor, high fever (Febrile Seizure), and parasite infection Neuro-cysticercosis. The main triggering factors include light, noise, sleep loss, alcohol intake, and cigarette smoking.

Hi Dr. Sharma,
Age: 36
I was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy in 2018. Its as if they started out of thin air. I have never taken any medication for them. I would prefer to go the natural route if I can. I have extreme deja vu before my episodes and I usually feel strange, unconnected a couple of days before they begin. Most, and maybe all of them occur during my ovulation and menstrual period. I also have a few episodes while I’m asleep, they wake me up. I also sometimes have an episode after sexual intercourse with my husband. When I have episodes, I get the aura (deja vu) and sometimes feel anxious or fearful for no reason and then I push my tongue in and out, as if I’m eating something. I do not lose consciousness during the episodes. The most scary part of this is how I feel during the 1-2 weeks that I’m
Having episodes. I just feel disconnected, I don’t feel like myself. Please help me with any insight that you may have. Thank you!!!!
Exactly same having with me

Dear Dr Sharma. I have a disorder that I have to take name brand Klonopin. I have been trying to find a remedy to replace this benzodiazepine for many years without sucess. The disorder goes by the name now of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome; previously was Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.
I had a ganglion crush injury and the sympathetic nervous system did not recoup. I am not in pain. I take the Klonopin for the body seizing. I recently had dental work, and the proper blocks were not done to shut down the trigeminal nerves and my tongue and mouth are seizing. I had to drive to get a flat tire fixed. The dash of my vehicle was flashing at me. I was talking outlaid to myself all is well and breathing. When i got to the place my body could hardly move. My whole body was shaking. Road vibration in a vehicle will set off the nervous system…..Nat sulp, Hypericium, cuprum nothing
Hi,
My daughter is 25 and was just diagnosed with abdomen epilepsy in November. She experienced a grand mal seizure for the first time on November 11, 2019 while we were on vacation. Since that time she has been put on 500mg 2x a day then in March switched to 750mg 2x per day. Unfortunately on April 8, she experienced 2 grand mal seizures in one day. She did not miss an medication so our dr. Doubled her dose to 1500mg 2 x per day.
We feel like this is a lot of medication to be taking. We usually take a holistic approach to things so this is some what concerning.
I would love some feedback

Sir im 21years old ,I have one white dot in my brain so recently once I got seizure in sleeping and feeling depression ….so can I take homeo treatment for perminant cure & is it possible to cure perminantly?
Hello Dr.
My son is now 9 years old. He got his first seizure at the age of 3, after that he is regularly taking Epilex syp. Last 2-3 years there was no seizure detected hence Dr reduced the medicine. Once it is reduced he again started getting fits. But now and earlier fits are different. Earlier he was getting non conscious but now he is feeling like his head is roaming around and he fells down.
Again Dr has increased the medicine and looks ok. But I am sure there will be some medicine in Homeopathic that can cure this permanently.
Please help
Thanks

Kindly advise me the homeo medicines for Focal Seizure symptoms as discribed by you,in a 18 years old female. In her past history she had suffered from cerebral meningitis in age of 4 years.
Dr Sharma
My wife suffering from epilepsy caused 31Years ago due to stress and lack of sleep. The the neurologist started medicines to stop fits. Now after testing several new medicines dr advised to stay in scheduled drugs Tegretol 300cr +Gardinol 60mg in Morning/Noon and Tegretol 200+Gardinol30mg at night. She can feel sensation on upper lips and teeth before seizure starts and her jaws locked for 30 min to 1 hour and salaiva comes out in bubble during fits. She has left focal epilepsy with no sign of any problem in brain. Tell me any remedies in homeopathy to stop her fits and replace her Allopathic medicines.
