In response to Western doctors’ advocacy of treating facial palsy with hormones and a week later with acupuncture, our Chinese hospital has a different view on this. For hormone treatment of facial palsy, it is either good or hardly good. In short, using hormones can do more harm than good. Early treatment of facial palsy with acupuncture is beneficial to the full recovery of facial palsy, but attention should be paid to the acupuncture technique, as follows: Week 1: light stabbing with few needles, don’t put on electric needles, but add the Shenhua needle for treatment; Week 2: normal acupuncture depth, don’t put on electric needles, but add the Shenhua needle for treatment; Week 3 and after: normal acupuncture depth, consider putting on electric needles without Shenhua.
