Patients with facial paralysis need to undergo acupuncture treatment in regular hospitals, and can select the dicang acupoints, cheek car acupoints, hegu acupoints and other acupoints for acupuncture treatment, and there is no authoritative book to record “which acupoint is the most feared for facial paralysis”.
1. Dicang acupoint: It is located on the outside of the corner of the mouth, 0.4 inches from the corner of the mouth, and directly opposite to the pupil. For facial paralysis caused by crooked corners of the mouth, salivation (drooling) and other symptoms, acupuncture this point has a certain therapeutic effect.
2. Cheek Che point: located in the cheek area, above the angle of the lower jaw, one transverse finger below the ear, in the depression that occurs when the biting muscle bulges. For symptoms such as toothache and crooked mouth caused by facial paralysis, acupuncture at this point has a relieving effect.
3. Hegu point: Hegu point is located between the first and second metacarpal bones, and the midpoint of the radial side of the second metacarpal bone is this point. For the treatment of facial paralysis, it is more effective to use this point together with the Dicang point and the cheek car point.
Patients with facial paralysis who need acupuncture treatment should consult a TCM doctor in a timely manner, and the frequency, time, and intensity of acupuncture should be judged by a specialist, so do not delay the condition by taking treatment on your own. There is no such thing as which acupuncture point is the most feared for facial paralysis.
