Patient's question:
Facial paralysis, also known as facial nerve palsy, is caused by factors such as wind, cold, and overexertion leading to viral proliferation. My friend is 41 years old. Which acupoints should be used for moxibustion for facial neuritis?Doctor's answer:
Throughout the process, it is important to promptly remove the moxa stick and ensure an appropriate distance to prevent burns. Those with special certifications in Western medicine believe that facial paralysis and colds are caused by viral infections, and they can recover completely within about two weeks of the natural course. In fact, a small portion of facial paralysis patients often develop severe, stubborn, and refractory facial paralysis due to the deeper location of the viral infection and their weaker constitution, leaving behind sequelae.
