Recently, I saw a patient, male, 41 years old, from his chagrined expression, it is not difficult to see that he has been sick for some time. A question: it turns out that this is his second facial paralysis, ten years ago he had once, a few stickers of traditional Chinese medicine, ten days or so, the disease will be cured. This time he did the same thing, half a month, no improvement in the symptoms of tilted mouth and eyes, anxious, and then came to me for treatment. After checking, the left side could not knit his forehead, close his eyes and show his eyes, nasolabial groove disappeared, his mouth was skewed to the right, whistling leakage, and the left side of the expression muscle did not move at all. The early stage of facial paralysis is the best treatment period, and effective treatment can control and relieve the condition in time, protect the facial nerve from damage or minimize the damage, and have a great impact on the later recovery and shorten the course of the disease. This patient was careless, after 14 days, the facial paralysis symptoms did not improve, indicating that the nerve has been damaged to a certain extent. The patient asked me why it took so long for him to get better as he thought it was only a minor illness. Facial paralysis is not a minor illness. In mild cases, it may heal on its own within a week or so, but this is a minority of cases, while in severe cases, the patient must receive reasonable treatment before he can recover. Facial paralysis occurs when there is a problem with the facial nerve, which is one of the most delicate tissues in the human body, unlike our skin tissues that heal in a few days. For example, in stroke patients, the nerve tissue is also damaged, and it can never be restored to its pre-stroke state, leaving behind the after-effects. Therefore, early treatment of facial paralysis is extremely critical. It is recommended that patients must pay attention to their thoughts when they have facial paralysis and seek medical treatment in time, so that doctors can judge the condition and make treatment suggestions. Many clinical studies have proved that early intervention of acupuncture in the treatment of facial paralysis is more conducive to the recovery of the condition. Some patients may worry that early acupuncture may adversely affect the recovery of facial paralysis. Acupuncture therapy is a national essence, not the common people imagine that: “only acupuncture on the face” is so simple, acupuncture treatment is based on the theory of Chinese medicine dialectical treatment, selecting the appropriate meridian points to take the appropriate techniques, treatment, such as facial paralysis in the early stage, Chinese medicine is considered to be the disorder of the internal organs, the disease and the evil take advantage of the weakness to enter the guest in the face, resulting in the face of meridian It is not possible for qi and blood to be nurtured. Acupuncture can achieve the purpose of adjusting the internal organs by stimulating the acupoints of the limbs and trunk, and at the same time, the acupoints around the face and ears can be stimulated by the stimulation technique of shallow stabbing and rapid needling, or moxibustion can be used to dredge up the meridians and collaterals of the face. Therefore, there is no harm to the facial nerve, and patients can boldly accept acupuncture treatment. Many cases of facial paralysis are triggered by overwork, excessive alcohol consumption and prolonged exposure to wind, so it is important to prevent the offense from occurring in the first place. Once you have facial paralysis, self-conditioning, first of all, pay attention to rest, local hot compresses, self-massage, early appropriate light diet. Also remind patients, just said the nerve is delicate, so the recovery will take some time, must be calm and quiet, good mood is conducive to health, also favorable to the recovery of the condition.
