Patient's question:
I came downstairs in the morning and found that my mouth was and couldn't close completely. My left eye was also and upward. The doctor confirmed the result was facial paralysis. I have had acupuncture many times, but the is not as expected. Can you ask if there are any dietary methods that can treat facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Consider using windproof and windproof 10—15 scallion white rice 30—60. After decocting the first two herbs, remove the rice and cook the remaining liquid into porridge. When the porridge is almost ready, add the just-boiled herbs to make it into a thin soup and take it warm. This formula can dispel wind and dampness, thoroughly eliminate cold, and is novel for conditions caused by wind-cold invasion of meridians, such as facial muscle pain and stiffness. Your condition is facial paralysis. Facial paralysis refers to facial muscle paralysis, also known as facial nerve palsy in modern Chinese medicine. It is a condition caused by damage to the facial nerve due to various reasons. Facial paralysis is divided into central facial paralysis and peripheral facial paralysis. The main sequelae are fibromyalgia of the facial muscles, severe pain, and facial muscle spasms. With treatment, recovery is usually complete within about one month.
