Yan Kuan is currently in the recovery period of facial paralysis and is unaware if acupuncture is still needed for this. I would like to ask how the later stage is treated. Do you still need acupuncture during the recovery period of facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:

The recovery stage refers to the period from one week to three months after the onset of the disease. According to statistics, most cases of Bell's palsy begin to recover completely within 1-2 weeks.
