Question
How to smoke mugwort for facial paralysis?
Answer
If mugwort moxibustion is used to treat facial paralysis, it follows a principle similar to that of acupuncture. It involves applying mugwort moxibustion to relevant acupoints on the face. This method stimulates acupoints through the warming and nourishing effects of mugwort, adjusts the nervous and endocrine system, and achieves the function of nourishing nerves and adjusting muscle function. It is best to have a professional doctor perform this procedure. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes differential diagnosis and treatment, so the acupoints used for different types of diseases vary.
