Question
Can patients with facial paralysis consume blood-boosting foods?
Answer
Patients with facial paralysis can consume Qi-tonifying foods, but they should pay attention to a balanced diet and adjust their eating habits according to their doctor’s advice. A deficiency in Vitamin B could be one of the causes of facial paralysis, so consuming foods rich in Vitamin B may help prevent and improve symptoms. Recommended foods include coriander, tomatoes, melons, cucumbers, papayas, apples, pineapples, pears, peaches, watermelons, apricots, persimmons, and grapes.
