Patient's question:
Always uncomfortable, feeling bad, can't sleep. What are the treatment methods for acute facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Acute facial paralysis is believed in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to be related to exposure to wind and cold. Wind-cold pathogens can obstruct local blood and Qi flow, leading to facial paralysis. Modern medicine attributes it to viral infections and nerve damage, hence the term "facial neuritis." In TCM, the treatment for facial paralysis is based on invigorating blood and unblocking meridians. Acupuncture therapy can also be used, as it is the fastest method for treating facial paralysis. Combining acupuncture with taking methylcobalamin tablets is recommended. Wishing you good health.
