Hi Nipun

Aswagandharishtam is useful an anti-stress supportive treatment in
various ailments where central nervous system is involved. If you are
specifically looking for anti-epilepsy herbs/formulations, several
better alternatives exist. Some of them are described in

ayurvedaonline/message/2604

Though above post refers to vertigo, some of the formulations
mentioned there, e.g. Brahmi Ghrutam and Smruti Sagar Ras have been
used by this author as anti-epileptic medicines successfully.

Even ashwagandharishtam has been discussed in that post, but it can
serve as supportive but not controlling medicine in case of epilepsy.

Following post was inspired by the case of your son, wherein anti-
epileptic properties of durva grass were mentioned:
