Patient's question:
I understand that facial paralysis means the face cannot move freely. I want to ask how facial paralysis is caused?Doctor's answer:
For patients with facial paralysis, it is often caused by wind pathogens directly affecting the facial meridians. These patients usually have a diet that is excessively greasy, consuming too many animal organs, which leads to an overabundance of phlegm-dampness pathogens in the body. When these pathogens ascend to affect the clear orifices, facial paralysis may occur. Therefore, for such patients, a light diet is recommended, and it can be complemented with rehabilitation treatments such as acupuncture and electrical stimulation. Pay attention to cultivating good behavioral habits in daily life.
