Patient's question:
My friend has been suffering from facial paralysis since she was 20. Her mother is said that facial cupping in beauty salons can treat facial paralysis. Hello: Where should facial cupping be applied for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis and treatment, facial cupping is sometimes used for facial paralysis patients. Common acupoints include Yintang, Taiyang, Yangbai, Qianzheng, Jiache, and Chengjiang. Each time, 1-2 small cups are used to draw the skin by the flash fire or throwing fire method at the acupoints, and the cups are left for about 10 minutes. However, it is usually not left to prevent bruising on the face from affecting appearance. The above is advice on this issue, and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
