Question
Where should moxibustion be used for facial paralysis?
Answer
The application of moxibustion for anesthetics or conditions like wind-cold is relatively simple; the area directly treated by moxibustion should be where the issue lies. Some people carry moxa sticks during windy and cold weather, and their faces may feel numb, while others may opt for ginger moxibustion on their faces, among other methods! However, one must be cautious with ginger moxibustion, as there’s a risk of burns on the face. Generally, a rough moxa stick combined with moxibustion is sufficient. It is recommended to spend at least half an hour on each session of moxibustion, with sessions over a period of time being more comfortable. In addition to the aforementioned acupoints such as Zhonghuan, Guanyuan, Shenshu, and Zusanli.
