Question
My brother has been diagnosed with facial paralysis, and I would like to inquire about the causes of recurrence.
Answer
Facial paralysis is often due to weakened constitution leading to poor circulation of Qi and blood in the facial meridians, commonly occurring during dramatic changes in weather, such as in winter and summer. Patients should pay attention to staying warm, avoid cold and hot foods, and always be aware of weather changes. They should also perform appropriate facial exercises to promote recovery. Wishing your brother a speedy recovery!
