Can you get acupuncture during menstruation for facial paralysis?

Patients with facial paralysis can choose local acupoints and facial points for acupuncture treatment during menstruation, such as Dicang, Cheek Che, Ying Xiang, Sizhukong, Pupil’s head and other points. Usually the operation of the needle should be gentle and moderate, do not let the patient have a strong sense of acupuncture, so as not to cause tension and discomfort. It should be noted that acupuncture during menstruation is best avoided in the abdomen, waist, and points that can activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Bares, Sanyinjiao, Guanyuan and other points. These points tend to cause an increase in menstrual blood, thus prolonging the menstrual period.
