Epilepsy, commonly known as "epilepsy", is a disease that causes sudden and temporary brain dysfunction. It manifests as paroxysmal generalized convulsions accompanied by temporary loss of consciousness, or manifests as twitching of local muscles of the body without disturbance of consciousness, or only paroxysmal mental abnormalities.

Efficacy The experience of "Experiences in the Treatment of Epilepsy" published in the 4th issue of 1987 is very effective in clinical trials.
Verified Case 1: Liu xx, diagnosed as "headache epilepsy" by the Department of Neurology of Sichuan Medical University, with 2-3 attacks a day, lasting more than 10 minutes to half an hour each time After more than one year of treatment with traditional Chinese and Western medicine, the disease was ineffective. Later, Danzhi Xiaoyao Powder plus Cimicifuga, Angelica dahurica, and Ligusticum chuanxiong was used to treat the disease. After taking 3 doses of the medicine, the attack stopped. There has been no recurrence for 3 months.
Case 2: Li x was diagnosed with "abdominal pain epilepsy" by Sichuan medicine. Traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments in many hospitals were ineffective for 6 years, with attacks occurring every 2-3 days. Take Danwei Xiaoyao Powder and add Cyperus rotunda, Koschium and Bergamot. The abdominal pain disappeared after taking 5 doses of medicine. Because Danwei Xiaoyao Powder is very effective in treating epilepsy caused by emotions, it has been included in our hospital's prescription for "depressive epilepsy"
Note: excessive phlegm and saliva, phlegm in the throat plus Acorus calamus, Gallbladder Nanxing, Polygala; if Qi and Yin are insufficient, add red ginseng and Ashwagandha. Epilepsy patients almost all suffer from emotional factors, and those who are easily agitated have more frequent seizures. In line with the principle of "soothing the liver and relieving stagnation, straightening out the liver qi, if the earth is not insulted, how can the heart be hurt", this prescription can be used to treat it, and good results can be achieved.
2. Realgar Tingxian Pills for the treatment of epilepsy

87 cases were treated, most of which were major seizures. Results: 34 cases were clinically controlled, 20 cases were effective, and 33 cases were ineffective. The total effective rate was 62%. Analysis shows that patients with a shorter course of disease and younger age have more effective effects. A considerable number of effective cases are due to failure to comply with the precautions.
Verification: Zheng xx, male, 6 years old, came to the clinic on May 12, 1968. I had high fever and convulsions half a year ago and was cured. After more than a month, he suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious, locking his teeth, salivating at the mouth, and looking up. He lasted for several minutes and then woke up; then fell asleep, and woke up as usual. The coating is white and greasy, and the fingerprints are blue and purple. The syndrome is epilepsy. Give 100 grams of Realgar Tingxian Pills, 2 times a day, 1 gram each time, and simmer 3 grams of Bupleurum in water. After taking the medicine, there was no recurrence and the patient recovered. During 18 years of follow-up, there was no recurrence of the disease.
Note: Avoid panic and anger while taking the medicine, and avoid smoking, alcohol, spicy, and fishy food. After taking the medicine to stop the attack, you must continue to take the medicine for more than 100 days. If you are seriously ill, you can stop taking the medicine for more than one year to avoid recurrence; During the period of taking the medicine, avoid heavy physical or excessive mental work, and sexual intercourse is prohibited. If you take phenytoin, luminal and other medicines before taking the medicine, or those who have a long course of disease or severe attacks, you can continue to take this medicine together for about one month, and the symptoms will become obvious. After improvement, the medication may be reduced or discontinued. "Epilepsy is caused by disease and evil." In the treatment of epilepsy, the first priority is to eliminate phlegm and reduce the evil. This prescription has the effects of relieving phlegm, reducing phlegm, relieving spasms, calming the nerves, and treating carbuncle. The realgar in the prescription has certain toxicity, but this prescription is taken slowly as a pill and contains licorice and mung bean to detoxify it. Only a few of the treated cases had mild skin rashes and allergies, which disappeared after stopping the medication.
