Patient's question:
Facial paralysis massage acupointsDoctor's answer:
In addition to medication, acupuncture, and physical therapy, facial paralysis patients can perform acupoint massage at home after the acute phase by facing a mirror, which is beneficial for early recovery. Clench your four fingers together, press your palms firmly against your face, and push upward from below to the forehead. After reaching the forehead, separate your hands, and then gently slide them down from in front of your ears. Similar to the "rotating eye socket" movement in eye care exercises, place the fleshy parts of your thumbs on both temples, and bend your index fingers to scrape the upper and lower eyelid muscles.
