What is the treatment of epilepsy in traditional Chinese medicine

First: diet nursing treatment: about the treatment of epilepsy, diet method mainly refers to ketogenic diet therapy.

Once the diagnosis of epilepsy in patients with epilepsy is established, patients with epilepsy should take medicine immediately to control seizures timely and effectively. The dosage should be enough to control epilepsy without seizure and drug toxicity. If necessary, patients with epilepsy can have blood drug concentration test. According to different types of epilepsy or syndromes, drug selection is determined. Generally speaking, patients stop attack for more than 2 years before drug withdrawal.

Only after removing the epileptic area can we achieve postoperative seizure free.
