Patient's question:

I would like to consult about what to do when pediatric epilepsy recurs. The help I want to receive: How to treat and prevent it.Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of epilepsy, it is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicines such as Tianma (Gastrodia elata), Hupu (Amber), Lingyangjiao (Antelope Horn), Shexiang (Musk), Chaihu (Bupleurum), Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Shichangpu (Calamus), Qingyangcan (Codonopsis), Baijiangcan (Bombyx Moth Cocoon), Gouteng (Honeysuckle Flower), Yangxuancao (Euphorbia), Zhenzhumu (Mother-of-pearl), Tiandanfen (Iron Gall Powder), Longjicao (Isatis), and Gancao (Licorice). These traditional Chinese medicines possess functions such as invigorating the body's resistance and dispelling pathogens, calming the mind and soothing nerves, promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis, eliminating dampness and cooling blood, reviving the brain and restoring consciousness, strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, and nourishing the marrow and essence. They can fundamentally regulate the functions of the viscera, making them the best treatment plan for completely self-healing epilepsy, a stubborn condition.
