Epilepsy (Mirgi)

The word Epilepsy originated from Greek (Unani) “Epi” meaning “upon” and “Lambanein” meaning “take hold of” or “Epilambanein” meaning “seizure/attack”. In Arabic, it is called “UmmuSubia”. Epilepsy is a neurological condition in which the brain temporarily loses its ability to control voluntary origination and transmission of brain signals. Often this condition manifests itself in the form of erratic and chaotic brain signals characterized by unpredictable seizures and/or loss of functionality. This disorder is usually chronic and it may affect any part of the body. There are many types of epileptic episodes with known and unknown triggers. While in most cases the causes are completely unknown, sudden sensory overload often acts as a trigger. Epileptic attacks may occur anytime during the day including during sleep. Please note that elderly patients, extremely chronic cases, and trauma related cases of epilepsy are hard to treat.

Symptoms

Rapid jerking movement, convulsions, muscular spasms/stiffness, blackouts, confusion, amnesia, fatigue, fainting, loss of control over body functions, uncontrolled blinking and chewing, fear, panic, anger, and other sensory confusion.

Causes

In most (60%) of cases the cause is unknown. Known causes may include trauma, disease, infection, side effects of certain non Unani medicines, genetics, and congenital or developmental conditions.

Management and Treatment

My (Hakeem Syed Muhammad Rehan Alam’s) family has been successfully treating all kinds Epilepsy disorders for more than 88 years. These are some of our family’s signature treatments and our expertise in these fields is well known. We have a proprietary way of approaching diagnosis and treatment. Patient history, pulse analysis, and Qaroora (urine inspection) help the Tabib narrow down the root cause (such as trauma, infection, heredity, and relevant humor imbalances). Whenever necessary, we do make use of modern lab tests in arriving at and confirming diagnosis and in monitoring of treatment progress. Our treatment plan is very simple. Patient is strictly advised to follow certain life style changes both during and after the treatment. Unani drug regimen (that may take anywhere from 16-24 weeks) includes various processed and unprocessed herbs etc. Please note that the treatment period significantly varies based on severity of affliction.

Note

My family’s Epilepsy treatment plan is tried and tested for generations. Numerous people have benefited from our approach both locally and internationally. While many get completely healed, majority of our patients at least see vastly improved results when compared to other treatments available in the market. Our approach to treating epilepsy starts with real honey and an Herbal mix called “Mosil” targeting the Phlegm humor imbalance. Our dietary plan specifically excludes certain meats, seafood, and etc. We also strongly advise epilepsy sufferers against donating blood.
