Patient's question:
Since I got a cold after work, my friend told me that using moxa sticks to steam my face could be helpful. Which part of the face should be steamed with moxa sticks for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Actual anesthesia or wind-cold can also lead to this moxibustion method, which is quite simple. Directly apply moxibustion to the affected area wherever the problem is. Some people carry moxa with them during wind-cold, and when it's windy, their faces may go numb. Others may need ginger moxibustion on their faces, etc! Without ginger moxibustion, this operation requires small movements, and the face must be protected to prevent burns. Generally, rough moxa sticks can be used in combination for moxibustion. It is recommended to moxibustion for at least half an hour each time for greater comfort. In addition to other acupoints such as Zhongwan, Guanyuan, Shenque, and Zusanli.
