One type of Ayurvedic herbal remedy believed to be effective for epilepsy is called siddharthaka ghrita. Aswagandharistam is used for epilepsy and insanity; it is thought to increase one's energy, vitality, and strength and to provide physical nourishment.
Saraswata rishta is another herbal medicine that Ayurveda has assigned to epilepsy treatment. It contains 21 different ingredients, some of which can be found in Cerebrex® capsules, a commercially available drug from the European Institute for Scientific Research on Ayurveda. Pandit Shiv Sharma, Asian Director of the World Federation of Life Sciences and a professor of Ayurveda in Bombay, India, recommends a mixture of three preparations for the treatment of epilepsy - smriti-sagara rasa – a metallic mixture containing mercury, arsenous sulphide, and red arsenic. Skullcap Ramayana #16 is another Ayurvedic herbal preparation used for epilepsy treatment. It is made from Skullcap (Scutellaria spp.) and 18 other rejuvenating, healing, and carminative Ayurvedic ingredients in a base of honey and herbal ghee. Skullcap is given for insomnia, tremors, muscle spasms, neuralgia, neurosis, and nervous headaches.
