Question
My friend has had facial paralysis since childhood. Her mother heard that facial cupping at a beauty salon can treat facial paralysis. Could you please tell me which parts of the face should be cupped?
Answer
In the process of treating facial paralysis, facial cupping is a commonly used method. Common acupoints include Yin Tang, Tai Yang, Yang Bai, Yi Feng, Di Cang, Jia Chi, and Cheng Jiang. Each time cupping, use 1 to 2 small-sized cups and apply the flash or throw fire method to attach the cups to the acupoints, leaving them for about 10 minutes. It is generally recommended not to leave the cups on to avoid causing bruising on the face, which may affect appearance. This is the answer to your question, and I hope it can help you, and wish you a speedy recovery.
