Minor facial paralysis will get better faster if acupuncture is taken. Different practitioners have different views on the question of whether acupuncture is necessary for facial paralysis. Some believe that acupuncture should not be done for facial paralysis, but based on clinical experience, it is considered desirable to have acupuncture as soon as facial paralysis is detected for faster recovery. Acupuncture points and needling methods can be different. For example, if the facial paralysis is mild, the number of points chosen can be relatively small and the amount of stimulation can be reduced. You may also consider choosing distal acupuncture points, such as Hegu, Ashigaru, Taichong, and so on.
