Hello, regarding the treatment of facial paralysis, it is divided into three stages: acute phase, remission phase, and chronic phase. The acute phase of facial paralysis lasts for 7 to 10 days, and the primary treatment involves using traditional Chinese herbal medicines to dispel wind and unblock meridians. The remission phase lasts for about one month, with the main treatment focusing on acupoints along the hands and feet meridians. Finally, for chronic facial paralysis, both acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine are used together. This type of facial paralysis requires long-term treatment to be effective, and it is more common among elderly individuals and those with weaker constitutions.
