Ayurveda a Boon for Epileptics

Avinash Shankar, Amresh Shankar and Anuradha Shankar

Apsmar denotes epilepsy, that usually persists in majority of patients with mental debility and disability, in spite of multidrug therapy with advanced anti-epileptics. But by supplementing Sodium valproate with indigenous composite of some Indian herbs as an adjuvant at 8 hourly dosing, tends to modulate the therapeutic outcome positively due to bioregulation of altered GABA bio kinetics and neurogenic action. Thus this adjunction seems a boon in epilepsy management.
