癫痫自然疗法

癫痫 (Epilepsy) 是脑部的一种疾病,其会反复发作。偶然的癫痫发作可以由很多原因引起。本文中的癫痫是指当一个人反复出现癫痫发作但未能发现可以治愈的病因的情况。如果癫痫发作仅限于脑部的某一个位置,则称为 “部分发作”。如果影响到了脑部的大部分,则被称为 “全身发作”。

癫痫

“癫痫全身发作” 最常见的类型为 “癫痫小发作” 和 “癫痫大发作”。“癫痫小发作” 时会突然出现短暂的意识丧失,持续很短的时间后即消失,其后通常没有任何不适症状。“癫痫大发作” 则会导致意识丧失、身体抽搐、咬舌,且经常会出现排尿。其发作后会出现一种混乱状态。“癫痫部分发作” 可能会比较简单(如仅出现手臂的异常),也可能会比较复杂 (如出现复杂的动作异常并伴有意识的丧失),一部分还可能会转变为 “癫痫全身发作”。

癫痫大发作

许多种药物可以用于治疗癫痫,且具有很好的效果。但是大多数的这些药物会引起明显的副作用。目前尚没有有效的自然疗法可以治疗癫痫。不过,一些自然疗法有助于改善抗癫痫药物引起的营养不良。另外,“生酮饮食” 也可能有助于控制儿童的癫痫发作。
