Question
My child has severe Mianpian, and the mouth area almost cannot move. Can I use moxibustion to unblock the blood vessels?
Answer
Moxibustion can be used to treat Mianpian as it stimulates acupoints in the body, improves regional blood clots, and helps in the recovery of facial nerves. Remember to keep warm and avoid recurrence of wind-cold-dampness invasion. Consider acupuncture treatment as well; the sooner the treatment, the better the effect.
