Patient's question:
I've had facial paralysis for a long time. I was treated for it before, but now it's not noticeable. Recently, my facial nerve has become slightly numb. My friend wants to apply castor seeds to the face and asked me to ask you how long it should be left on. How long should castor seeds be applied to treat facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Hempseed, use the kernel inside, chop it, take internally and apply to the affected side of the face to treat facial paralysis. It is effective for treating facial neuritis. Hempseed has the functions of reducing swelling, detoxifying, purgative, and unblocking stagnation. If used to treat facial nerve palsy, you can remove the shell of the hempseed, pound it into a paste, and apply it to the affected side of the mandibular joint and corner of the mouth (about 0.3 cm thick). Cover with gauze bandage and secure it, changing the dressing once a day.
