Amazing Home Remedies to Treat Epilepsy

If your answer to any of the above is YES, then you have Epilepsy!

Epilepsy is associated with a group of neurological disorders or brain disorder portrayed by epileptic seizures. Brain sends electrical impulses which control muscle movement. In Epilepsy, excessive electrical impulses are sent from the brain, leading to seizures.
