Epilepsy
A brain disease that is characterized by the occurrance of at least two unprovoked seizures resulting from a persistent epileptogenic abnormality of the brain that is able to spontaneously generate paroxysmal activity and typically manifested by sudden brief episodes of altered or diminished consciousness, involuntary movements, or convulsions.
The database says that a source associated a plant with the label “Epilepsy”. It does not show that the source used modern diagnostic criteria or that the plant was effective.
The plain-language definition is anchored to an exact Disease Ontology term. The historical use association remains a separate data claim.
