Patient's question:
The father of a colleague is 58 years old this year and recently went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with facial paralysis. The doctor advised him to actively do something to save it, so you asked how to treat facial paralysis with moxibustion?Doctor's answer:
Not all types of facial paralysis are suitable for moxibustion treatment. Only when the facial paralysis is classified as contagious is moxibustion therapy the most important. Moxibustion therapy is used to treat facial paralysis. First, extinguish the moxa stick and then directly burn the facial acupoints. Moxibustion has the effects of invigorating qi and blood, dispelling cold and dampness, and promoting blood circulation to resolve stasis. It is particularly effective for patients with weak constitutions and those affected by wind-cold and dampness pathogens. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
