Essential Oils for Anti-epileptic Acute Seizure / Anti-convulsant:
The following essential oils may be helpful in reducing the severity of epilepsy or other convultions:
Many essential oils have anticonvulsant activity and might benefit people with epilepsy. Essential oils containing constituents such as asarone, carvone, citral, eugenol, or linalool are good candidates for evaluation as anti-epileptic drug. On the other hand, some essential oils have convulsant effects and may trigger seizures in both epileptic and healthy individuals. Internal use of essential oils like sage, hyssop, rosemary, camphor, pennyroyal, eucalyptus, cedar, thuja, and fennel can cause epileptic seizures because they contain thujone, 1,8-cineole, camphor, or pinocamphone, which have been identified as convulsive agents.
