Epilepsy is a cerebral nerve disease which is characterized by internal sensations of change or attacks.
Symptoms
There are two types of attacks: changes in internal sensations ( Petite Mal) or the loss of consciousness. These are the only symptoms produced by this type of attack; while in the case of other type there are convulsions and muscular movements.
Causes
Epileptic attacks are caused by electric disorders in the nervous cells of a certain section of the brain. The main causes may be:
- Birt trauma – Inadequate oxygen supply to the brain.
- Infections of the brain – meningitis, encephalitis, etc.
- Accidents.
- Ingestion of toxins.
- Inherited disorders.
- Hypoglycemia and bad nutrition.
Prevention
Avoid factors which tend to initiate it like: fatigue, too much eating or drinking, emotional stress and fever. These attacks may happen only once in a lifetime or quite frequently.
Treatments
Ginkgo Biloba: This plant has been proven to be more effective when administered together with the medication prescribed by your physician for preventing epileptic fits, whether a derivative of dopamine or something similar. The improvement is due to a greater quantity of blood, loaded with oxygen and nutrients, reaching the damaged areas so that the nerve cells are reestablished quicker, allowing the person’s damaged faculties to improve.
