Question
My grandfather has facial paralysis caused by exposure to cold. What should we be cautious about in his diet? Are there any foods that can help with facial paralysis?
Answer
In cases of facial paralysis caused by cold or wind, acupuncture treatment in traditional Chinese medicine can often yield good results. In terms of diet, it is advisable to avoid cold and cool foods and to consume moderate amounts of warm foods such as lamb and ginger. During medication treatment, especially when using traditional Chinese herbs, dietary adjustments should be made under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, there are no specific dietary recommendations for facial paralysis.
