Epilepsy
How Bach Flowers can help in the process of the disease
Idiopathic epilepsy is the most common cause of seizures in dogs. Although it may appear sporadically in almost all breeds and also in crossbred dogs, it is particularly frequent in certain pure breeds where the disease is considered hereditary, as in the case of the German shepherd, beagle, teckel, St Bernard and cocker spaniel. It is not as common in cats.
A typical epileptic seizure starts with sudden loss of consciousness and generalized stiffness, followed by erratic movements of head and limbs, urination and salivation. Sometimes seizures are milder: there is no loss of consciousness but there is an alteration of the state of mind, incoordination and more discreet body movements. The crises usually last between one and three minutes, and the recovery phase, of a variable duration, usually includes disorientation or other neurological signs.
REMEDIES ADMINISTERED ORALLY
(Refer to ‘Preparation of a remedy for oral application’, p.21.)
- Rock Rose: To treat diseases that occur sporadically, for no apparent reason. As Dr Bach (Bach 1936) said in his definition of Rock Rose:
The remedy of emergency for cases where there even appears no hope. In accident or sudden illness, or when the patient is very frightened or terrified, or if the condition is serious enough to cause great fear to those around. If the patient is not conscious the lips may be moistened with the remedy.
- Cherry Plum: Compulsive episodes.
- Clematis: The typical crisis is characterized by starting with a sudden loss of consciousness.
