Convulsions are sudden, involuntary, and violent contractions of voluntary muscles, resulting from abnormal electrical discharges in the brain.
They are commonly seen in epilepsy, febrile illnesses, metabolic disorders, head injuries, infections, or drug toxicity.

Depending on the area of the brain involved, convulsions may be generalized (involving the whole body, with loss of consciousness) or focal/partial (limited to one part of the body).
Associated symptoms may include frothing, biting of tongue, urinary incontinence, rigidity, jerking, and post-ictal confusion or sleep.

Physiologically, convulsions occur due to neuronal hyperexcitability, often caused by electrolyte imbalance, hypoxia, infection, or genetic predisposition.
Triggers include stress, fatigue, fever, emotional excitement, flashing lights, or suppression of eruptions or discharges.

Homoeopathy views convulsions as a vital reaction of the nervous system to internal imbalance, whether functional or organic.
The approach is constitutional and individualized, aiming to reduce nervous irritability, restore equilibrium, and eliminate underlying causes such as fright, grief, fever, or toxicity.

Remedies are chosen according to cause (etiology), type of convulsion, and associated mental and physical symptoms.
Homoeopathy has a wide scope in functional convulsions, hysterical fits, febrile seizures in children, and reflex spasms, though structural causes (tumors, trauma, etc.) require concurrent medical management.

Supportive care includes ensuring airway safety, avoiding triggers, maintaining hydration, and managing stress, sleep, and nutrition to prevent recurrence.

Natural Homoeopathic remedies to get rid of Convulsions

Convulsions from Fright or Emotional Shock – Aconitum Napellus

Sudden onset after fear or fright; body stiffens with jerking of limbs. Red face, hot skin, and great anxiety. Useful in acute, febrile, or emotional causes of convulsion.

Convulsions from Anger or Vexation – Chamomilla

Twitching, jerking, or convulsive spasms after emotional irritation. Child becomes irritable, cries angrily, and cannot be pacified. One cheek red, the other pale. Worse at night or during teething.

Convulsions from Sudden Emotion or Disappointment – Ignatia Amara

Hysterical or emotional convulsions; body stiffens, alternate laughter and weeping. Twitching of single muscles. Indicated in sensitive, nervous individuals with suppressed grief.

Convulsions from Suppressed Eruptions – Cuprum Metallicum

Violent clonic spasms, beginning in fingers or toes and spreading over the body. Face turns blue; frothing from mouth. Indicated when convulsions follow suppression of rashes or eruptions.

Convulsions from Worms or Intestinal Irritation – Cina Maritima

Child screams suddenly, stiffens, and has convulsive jerks. Picks at nose, grinds teeth, abdomen bloated. Eyes fixed and pupils dilated. Excellent for worm-related spasms.

Febrile Convulsions in Children – Belladonna

Sudden convulsion with flushed face, staring eyes, dilated pupils, and throbbing carotids. High fever, restlessness, and delirium. Indicated in congestive and febrile states.

Convulsions during Dentition – Calcarea Carbonica

Child starts at every noise, pale, cold sweat, and spasms during teething. Head large, abdomen distended. Suited to fat, flabby, chilly children with delayed development.

Epileptic Convulsions with Aura – Silicea Terra

Convulsions preceded by coldness, dizziness, or visual aura. Rigidity followed by jerking. Often followed by deep sleep. Useful in chronic epilepsy and nervous debility.

Convulsions with High Temperature and Rigidity – Bryonia Alba

Convulsions with dryness of mouth and lips, preceded by headache or fever. Twitching and jerking worse from motion. Indicated when convulsions occur with inflammatory states.

Convulsions with Great Weakness – Zincum Metallicum

Trembling and jerking of limbs with exhaustion. Repeated spasms with suppressed eruptions or discharges. Child rolls head from side to side. Suited for chronic nervous weakness or brain irritation.

Convulsions after Suppressed Discharge – Helleborus Niger

Slow, automatic, semi-conscious movements after convulsions. Dullness, cold sweat, and rolling of head. Useful after suppression of eruptions or in post-convulsive stupor.

Convulsions with Rigidity and Lockjaw – Cicuta Virosa

Severe tonic and clonic spasms; body bends backward; jaw clenched. Pupils dilated, face blue. Suitable for traumatic or epileptic convulsions, especially in children.

Convulsions from Bright Light or Noise – Stramonium

Sudden spasms with fear, delirium, and violent motions. Frightful expressions; shrieking during attacks. Indicated in convulsions with hypersensitivity to light and sound.

Convulsions in Newborns or from Asphyxia – Opium

Twitching, rigidity, and unconsciousness after fright or suffocation. Face dark red or bluish, breathing irregular. Excellent in convulsions following cerebral congestion.

Convulsions from Mental Excitement or Overstudy – Nux Vomica

Twitching of limbs, grinding of teeth, or rigid spasms from nervous exhaustion. Worse after stimulants or stress. Suited to irritable, overworked individuals.

Convulsions from Injury or Trauma – Arnica Montana

Convulsions during Menses – Sepia Officinalis

Spasmodic jerks or fainting spells at menstrual onset. Associated with uterine pain, sadness, and aversion to family. Suitable for women with hormonal or emotional imbalance.

Convulsions represent a sudden neurological imbalance caused by overexcited brain activity, manifesting in muscular spasms and loss of control.
Homoeopathy offers deep-acting, individualized remedies that calm nervous excitability, reduce recurrence, and address the underlying cause — emotional, toxic, or constitutional.

Acute convulsions respond well to Aconite, Belladonna, or Cuprum, while chronic epileptiform cases improve with Silicea, Bufo, Zincum, or Calcarea carb.
Combined with medical supervision, good nutrition, avoidance of triggers, and regular sleep, homoeopathy supports long-term neurological stability and mental harmony.
