Patient's question:
I had a stroke two days ago and developed facial paralysis. I've been searching for medical treatment these past few days but haven't seen any significant results. Today, a friend recommended the modified Qian Zheng San for treating facial paralysis. I've never heard of this treatment method before. I'd like to ask here: Does the modified Qian Zheng San work for facial paralysis? How effective is it?Doctor's answer:
If you have facial paralysis due to a stroke, using Qian Zheng San to treat facial paralysis can still be effective to some extent. This is because Qian Zheng San primarily consists of many wind-dispelling, blood-cooling, and meridian-activating herbs. It has a very good therapeutic effect on conditions like mouth and eye deviation caused by facial paralysis. In such cases, it is recommended to combine it with traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture therapy, which may lead to a faster and more complete recovery.
