According to a recent article from Epilepsy News, these alternative approaches range from medical cannabis and CBD to herbal supplements and mind-body practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pharmaceutical-grade CBD has shown strong evidence of reducing seizures in specific syndromes such as Lennox-Gastaut, Dravet, and Tuberous sclerosis complex.
