Patient's question:

Hello, Bell's palsy is considered in Traditional Chinese Medicine to be caused by cold pathogens leading to blood stasis and blockage. Patients should pay attention to supplementing with calcium and vitamin B elements. Calcium not only greatly benefits bones and intelligence but also promotes the recovery of muscle and nerve functions. Vitamin B can also help maintain nerve health. The specific causes of Bell's palsy vary, and the extent of the lesion also differs. Treatment must be based on individual circumstances. Generally, facial nerve tripartite rehabilitation therapy can be adopted to comprehensively improve the microcirculation of capillaries in the affected area, fundamentally repair damaged facial neurons, and restore facial muscle function.
