Abstract : Epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by abnormal brain activity, poses a significant global health problem. While conventional pharmacotherapy is commonly used, it often entails adverse effects, failures causing remission of the disease, and may not target the root cause of epileptogenesis. In regions like India, herbal remedies have gained attention as alternative or complementary treatments due to their relatively high efficacy and least adverse reactions. Objective: This review delves into providing information on some of the traditional anticonvulsant plants used in India, including Adhatoda vasica, Brassica nigra, Cassia fistula, and others. Scientific validation through multiple epilepsy models has demonstrated their efficacy in reducing seizures, attributed to active constituents within these plants. Integrating these herbal remedies with conventional pharmacotherapy offers a holistic approach to epilepsy management, potentially enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life. Conclusion: The review summarizes to give a thorough grasp of the ways in which these traditional botanicals can improve patient outcomes and quality of life when combined with conventional medication. Further research and clinical trials are necessary to elucidate mechanisms of action and optimize their use in the treatment of epilepsy
