Patient's question:
My older sister has epilepsy, and it has been almost 2 years now, but she hasn't fully recovered yet. Are there any dietary methods for treating epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a chronic, intermittent, and recurrent disease that is relatively difficult to treat. Dietary methods can be adopted to prevent it and reduce the recurrence of epilepsy. Medicinal porridge, such as those made with ingredients that extend wind-cold and tonify the spleen and kidneys, can effectively alleviate frequent epilepsy attacks. Ingredients like coix seed porridge and astragalus porridge can tonify the spleen and nourish the lungs, helping to relieve epilepsy episodes. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
