“… 28 In a recent study by Srivastava and colleagues (which screened 19,181 children aged 2 mos-18 yr), the prevalence of paediatric epilepsy and IESS was 34.4 and 2.0 per 10,000 children, respectively. 29 The prevalence estimate in Indian studies is much higher than that reported globally. The two Indian studies probably demonstrate the tip of a hidden iceberg.…”

The study explores the potential of Indian medicinal plants as botanical treasures for managing epilepsy. Epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, poses a significant global health challenge. Traditional medicinal practices in India have a rich history of incorporating various plant-based remedies for neurological ailments, including epilepsy. The data was collected from various scientific databases like Google Scholar, Science Direct, Elsevier, Springer and Pubmed. The collected data includes the following details - Plant part used, dose and type of extract, reference and inducing drug used and the mechanism of actions. The article thoroughly examines the phytochemical constituents found in Indian medicinal plants, elucidating their neuroprotective and anticonvulsant properties and their scrutinized bioactive compounds and therapeutic potential. The review integrates findings from preclinical and clinical studies, shedding light on the mechanisms of action and safety profiles of these plant-derived compounds. The conclusion of the manuscript emphasizes the promising role of Indian medicinal plants in epilepsy management. The identified botanical treasures offer a holistic and potentially sustainable approach to complement existing antiepileptic medications. The reviewed evidence underscores the need for further research, clinical trials, and integration of traditional knowledge into mainstream healthcare for the development of effective and accessible treatments for epilepsy. By recognizing the botanical wealth embedded in Indian traditional medicine, this review advocates for a paradigm shift toward harnessing nature's gifts in the pursuit of enhanced epilepsy care.
