Ketogenic Diet and Natural or Herbal Medicines are Effective in Preventing Epilepsy

Archana Kasaudhan

Abstract: Epilepsy is a long - term neurological disorder characterised by recurrent seizures. Drug - resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects around 30% of epileptic sufferers. The ketogenic diet (KD) is regarded as a promising alternative therapy for epilepsy sufferers. The goal of this research was to discuss nutrition and natural or herbal therapies for epilepsy. Ketone bodies alter chemical messengers and brain metabolic activity, regulating neuroprotective mechanisms against oxidative damage and lowering seizure frequency. In this section, we examine epilepsy, KD, and its supporting nutrients, as well as the critical function of KD in the therapy of epileptic illnesses.
