Does acupuncture work for crooked mouth and eyes?

Facial palsy can be divided into central facial palsy and peripheral facial palsy. Whether it is central facial palsy or peripheral facial palsy, acupuncture treatment is generally more effective. For peripheral facial palsy, the selection of acupuncture points for treatment is based on the stage. Acute stage patients are treated with acupuncture within a week, and often selected points are mainly taken from distal channels, including the foot three miles, contralateral Hegu, Fengchi and Taichong, etc. Local stimulation or heavy stimulation is avoided as much as possible to avoid aggravating the symptoms, and the local face can be smoked with moxa strips. For patients with facial palsy in the recovery period, local treatment is the main treatment, that is, facial acupuncture points can be used, such as Di Cang, Cheek Chee, Zygomaticus, Yang Bai and Sun, which can be used in conjunction with the distant channel with acupuncture points, Hegu with Tai Chong, Foot San Li and Yang Ling Quan can be used additionally or subtractively. In the posterior period, most of the basic symptoms are relatively recovered, but some of the symptoms will remain, such as the inability to raise the eyebrows, so the Yangbai acupoint can be needled. Yangbai can often be used with the penetrating method, Yangbai through the fish waist, Yangbai through the Zanzhu or Yangbai through the Sizhukong, or the Yangbai flush method can be used. If the corners of the mouth are skewed, you can use Dicang to penetrate the cheek car, which can also have a better therapeutic effect. In addition, on top of this, the overall treatment points are combined, including Fu Zheng, Qi Hai and Guan Yuan. Central facial palsy can be restored with the function of the limbs, and the combination of limb acupuncture points on top of the foundation can often have some therapeutic effect.
