Patient's question:
My brother has had some facial paralysis since he was a child. Recently, it was said that moxibustion is effective. How does moxibustion treat facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Acupuncture and moxibustion, or herbal medicine regulation, all require first consulting a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for a diagnosis and then adjusting based on the patient's constitution. If the patient's condition has been prolonged, the treatment duration may also be longer. It is recommended to visit a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital for a diagnosis first. Additionally, coordination with many neurotrophic drugs for regulation is necessary, along with adequate rest and avoiding catching a cold.
