Question
Can moxibustion treat facial nerve palsy? My aunt has been suffering from facial nerve palsy for nearly a year and there has been no improvement. I want to know if moxibustion is effective?
Answer
Hello, based on your description and question, moxibustion can indeed help in treating facial nerve palsy. It is recommended that you also combine antiviral medication treatment and acupuncture, as acupuncture can more effectively promote the recovery of the facial nerve. Additionally, you should avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, keep warm, and use warm towels to apply a compress to the face , as these can all help restore facial function. Maintaining a positive mood also aids in the recovery from the disease.
