Patient's question:
I have severe facial paralysis, and almost none of the muscles around my mouth can move. I want to use moxibustion to unblock blood vessels. Can facial paralysis be treated with moxibustion?Doctor's answer:
It can be treated through moxibustion, as moxibustion works by absorbing heat through the moxa stick to strike the body's acupoints, allowing local blood clots and other phenomena to improve again. It also has a certain helping effect on the complete recovery of facial nerve function. Pay attention to the cold prevention measures for facial paralysis patients, and avoid being exposed to wind, cold, and dampness again in daily life. Acupuncture treatment can also be adopted, and it is crucial to seek treatment as soon as possible.
