Question

You accidentally triggered Bell’s palsy and want to know how long it typically takes to fully recover.

Answer

According to your description, Bell’s palsy is usually caused by wind pathogens directly invading the meridians. After receiving treatment, patients typically begin to recover gradually within about a month. However, if left untreated, it may result in permanent facial paralysis. Therefore, it is recommended that you seek hospital rehabilitation treatment as soon as possible, such as acupuncture and electroacupuncture stimulation. Additionally, in terms of diet, maintain a light and avoid contact with cold winds. At the same time, actively participating in physical exercise also helps regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
