Question
My husband suddenly developed facial paralysis for some unknown reason. I would like to ask the doctor, how should one perform massage for facial paralysis?
Answer
When suffering from facial paralysis, it may cause stiffness in the facial muscles and affect expression. After the acute phase, massage can be performed, including massaging acupoints such as Yingxiang, Renzhong, and Yuyao, for 3 to 5 minutes each. It is necessary to avoid cold winds or catching a cold during the massage process.
