arnica for seizure, anyone?

Hi,
Ive just started using homeopathic remedies, with a few stock in my cabinet. then 2nights ago, my epileptic child said she had a headache. i don't know why i gave her arnica 30C. then the whole night (she has most of her seizure during sleep), i noticed she didn't have the usual tossing and turning, jerking, groaning and foaming in her mouth. the following night, she asked again for arnica. i gave another 30C (after taking her 2 antiseizure meds), and again she is not having the usual violent jerking. i can sense she needed to increase her meds again but I'm wary of adding more drugs to her system. we are scheduled for her NEUROFEEDBACK training in Singapore next month (which is cozy! but that is the only alternative treatment that I know of and available near us. Have any one used arnica for this? I read mr joe de livera's notes on the 'miracles' of arnica. can i include that as her med before sleeping? during her toddler years she bumps her head a lot ( i don't know arnica at that time yet).

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.

You have written your daughter used to bump her head a lot. Its possible that some minor concussions on the head have something to do with her epileptic symptoms now. If this is true, ARNICA is the right remedy for her.

If you can give her a single dose of ARNICA 200C or 1M on a single day in empty stomach, there are chances that she could be cured for good.

Please read Materia Medica of Arnica and see if you find anything common with your child.

Thanks rishimba! Yes there are similarities of symptoms in my child and that of arnica like forgetful in memory, fear, feeling tired, horrors in the night,...but I'm not a homeopath I'm afraid I'm giving a remedy not suited for her..let's face it epilepsy is hard to control..we've tried some herbs and acupuncture with no luck...but when I give arnica after her meds right before sleeping she is a lot better..I tried giving arnica last night before her meds but the effect is not that good...maybe because of the sweets she ate earlier the day...well, I,m hoping to find an experienced homeopathic doctor in the future

If you can give her detailed case here, physicians here can help you find the right remedy for her. Moreover, you can get a second opinion as a confirmation too.
