Question
Can essential oil massage effectively treat facial paralysis?
Answer
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that facial paralysis is mainly caused by insufficient Qi and blood, blood deficiency, severe wind-cold sensation, external pathogens, and pathogenic Qi invasion leading to Qi deficiency and meridian blockage, resulting in malnutrition and delayed muscle development. In the acute phase, massage can be supplemented with the use of essential oils by placing both hands’ palms on the face and repeatedly massaging from the chin, cheeks, nose, and lips to the forehead for about 3 minutes.
