Apply infrared irradiation, shortwave diathermy, and local heat application to the mastoid process; strengthen functional exercises for the facial muscles. Local physical therapy, such as heat application behind the ear, spectral irradiation, and Chinese herbal poultices. Acupuncture techniques should not be too strong or excessively stimulating; voluntary movements can be performed, such as massaging the paralyzed facial muscles in front of a mirror, to promote local blood circulation.
