Patient's question:
My brother was diagnosed with facial paralysis since he was a child, and he hasn’t had a girlfriend until now. So I’m planning to solve my brother’s facial paralysis in my own way. It’s said that moxibustion is quite effective for facial paralysis. I wonder if moxibustion is good for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
You need to take the prescribed medication on time as prescribed by the doctor and persist with facial acupuncture, acupressure point anesthesia, and other treatments for Bell's palsy. Only moxibustion treatment or oral medication is not enough; a comprehensive evaluation and treatment approach is necessary rather than a single treatment. Pay attention to the wind and temperature of your face, wear a thick face mask, and avoid washing your face with cold water for the time being. When using moxibustion for Bell's palsy, it is highly valuable. The method of moxibustion is similar to that of acupuncture. Both stimulate meridians and points to unblock meridians, promote metabolism, enhance blood circulation in meridians, and prevent toxins from accumulating in meridians. This can lead to a faster discharge from the hospital.
