Patient's question:
Sometimes I can't control my facial expressions. I have a bit of facial paralysis, and I want to get better from it quickly. How do you use mugwort to (smoke) for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
If using mugwort steam treatment for facial paralysis, the principle is similar to that of ordinary acupuncture. Both involve applying mugwort steam to relevant acupoints on the face. The warm-toned efficacy of mugwort stimulates these points, adjusts the nervous and endocrine systems, and achieves the functions of nourishing nerves and regulating muscle utility. In this case, it is best to have it performed by a professional doctor. Because traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment adjustment, different types of diseases require different acupoints to be used.
