Patient's question:
My uncle got facial paralysis. An old Chinese medicine practitioner recommended using castor seeds. How is the usage of castor seeds for treating facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Based on the current situation you have described, it is recommended that if this condition occurs again, it is better to implement standardized treatment for facial paralysis under the guidance of a neurology physician. Currently, it is not advisable for you to use folk remedies for treatment, as the effectiveness may not be ideal based on your current description. It is recommended that during treatment, you ensure deep sleep and pay attention to rest. There is no evidence to support that castor seeds have a significant effect on facial paralysis.
