Acupuncture treatment for facial paralysis?

Facial paralysis can be treated with acupuncture. The treatment of facial paralysis with acupuncture is mainly based on syndrome differentiation and treatment, using local acupoint selection and acupoint selection along the meridian.

According to syndrome differentiation and treatment, different acupuncture treatment plans are used to treat facial paralysis, mainly using acupoints such as Yangbai, Sibai, Sizhukong, Cuanzhu, Yingxiang, Dicang, Jieche, Shuigou, Fengchi, Hegu, and Taichong. Combined with bloodletting therapy, it also has a good effect on the recovery of facial paralysis.

In addition, patients with facial paralysis should pay attention to keeping their faces warm from the cold, and should pay attention to a light diet. At the same time, they should also be treated with other methods, such as physical therapy and drugs that nourish the facial nerves.

For facial paralysis that persists and has poor therapeutic effect, it should be recommended to take it together with other medicines.
