Epileptic Seizure Prediction
Epileptic Seizure Prediction
Epileptic seizures can strike unexpectedly, making prediction a vital aspect for those affected. Recent advancements in technology, like wearable devices and mobile applications, enable continuous monitoring of brain activity, harnessing algorithms to predict potential seizure occurrences. By analyzing patterns, these tools offer alerts, allowing individuals to take preventive measures or seek safety in advance.
It is proven over the years, that seizures do not begin abruptly, they develop over time (reference of mins, hours to days) and Jeevalaya researchers are focusing on how we can alter than before they disrupt the normal functioning. Initial success has being using Two protocols based on channel of Influence.
Understanding Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It can manifest in various forms, including generalized or focal seizures, and symptoms can range from convulsions to brief lapses in awareness. The exact cause of epilepsy can be varied, including genetic factors, brain injuries, or developmental disorders.
Ayurvedic Perspective on Epilepsy
In Ayurveda, epilepsy is viewed through the lens of imbalances in the body’s doshas and the disruption of "sattva," the quality of mind. This holistic approach focuses on identifying and rectifying these imbalances to mitigate symptoms. Treatments may include:
Herbal Remedies: Herbs and Medication are custom prepared and mixed in medium of Ghee, Oil and given in Nasal and via Food as Ghee intake with this compounded formulation has given higher success than previously researched by anyone.
Also Certain Kwatha /Kadha are also prescribed to not only improve the body channel but negate the after effect of the epileptic event expected.
Panchakarma: A detoxification process that may include oil massages and herbal enemas, aimed at cleansing the body and promoting overall balance.
Yoga and Meditation: Encouraging relaxation and reducing stress, which can be beneficial for seizure management.
Dietary Adjustments: Following a sattvic diet rich in fresh, whole foods is suggested to nourish the body and mind.
Embracing Ayurvedic principles and restoring balance can lead to an improved quality of life for those managing epilepsy. The integration of traditional approaches with modern understanding offers a multidimensional strategy for healing.
Ongoing Research:
1) Precursor Event before the trigger of events to Epilpesy Native is documented well in his/her log book and Understanding, Measurement and tracking simplified for the native to be ready mentally and physically as the moment is temporarily and shall pass soon. It has aided plenty of native to get strength and face epilepsy seizures with confidence.
2) Wearable or implantable device which can give alert well in advanced and make the area and place safer for the Native. Majority of the Epilepsy families have anxiety or risk of fall and hurt post such incident which are bigger trauma than epilepsy seizures.
3) How to reduce the Number of seizures to Lesser and Lesser number or eventually make it Zero. Plenty of success stories indicate we are moving in right direction using the above. Epilepsy is a Dynamical Disease and no single method or Protocol can be standardized and Care givers and medical fraternity need to keep improving and identify better and better methods based on the Epileptic native in discussion and plan remediation with Conviction of all scientific discovery.
4) EEG Customized to Native: Baseline EEG of all Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Theta and Delta patterns during relaxed and normal state to be recorded. As the Neurological activity changes in Alpha based on Focused or relaxed state the filters to share normal scenario and any abnormality arising out of the this state should be recorded and identified as they are deviation from the baseline methods. This method of elimination has worked for certain Epilepsy Seizures approach and aided the Ayurveda Researches to share the Medication customized for that particular state. Encouraging results give us the courage to take more and more complex epilepsy cases.
