Natural: There are little safe and well studies 'natural' epilepsy treatments. None of the anti epileptic medications are truly natural. No herbal remedy truly has epileptic suppression in a way pharmacologically that makes since. Anxiolytics similar to valerian root have some benzodiazepine receptor agonism and therefore could aid in seizure suppression, but this is not recommended.

See below: "natural" remedies such as herbs, etc. Have not been proven to manage epilepsy, especially generalize epilepsies as well as medications (those too have their limitations) do. If you have not had a seizure in 2 years, you may speak to your neurologist about options and management options at this point. Hope that helps!
