Understanding the Cause of Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. While the exact cause of epilepsy varies, key factors include:
  • Genetic Mutations: Inherited conditions like Dravet Syndrome or SCN1A gene mutations.

  • Brain Injuries: Trauma, strokes, or tumors disrupting neural pathways.

  • Infections: Meningitis, encephalitis, or prenatal damage.

  • Developmental Disorders: Autism or neurofibromatosis linked to seizure activity.

Nausea is a non-specific symptom, which means that it has many possible causes. Some common causes of nausea are gastroenteritis and other gastrointestinal disorders, food poisoning, motion sickness, dizziness, migraine, fainting and low blood sugar. Nausea is a side effect of many medications including chemotherapy, or morning sickness in early pregnancy. Nausea may also be caused by disgust and depression.

Absorption

CBD oils, tinctures, or capsules deliver cannabinoids directly into the bloodstream, ensuring rapid absorption for acute seizure management.

Distribution

Cannabinoids target the brain’s endocannabinoid system, modulating GABA and glutamate levels to prevent overstimulation.

Metabolism

The liver processes CBD into metabolites that prolong its anticonvulsant effects, supporting long-term seizure control.

Excretion

Residual compounds exit safely via urine, minimizing side effects common with traditional AEDs.
