Question
Is acupoint paste with fleabane seed effective for treating facial palsy?
Answer
Fleabane seed treatment for facial palsy is somewhat effective. The causes of facial neuritis are diverse, and according to the location of the lesion, they can be categorized into central and peripheral types. Central facial neuritis is usually caused by cerebrovascular diseases, intracranial tumors, brain trauma, inflammation, etc., with the lesion located above the facial nerve nucleus to the cortical medulla bundle in the cerebral cortex. Peripheral facial neuritis, on the other hand, involves damage occurring at the facial nerve nucleus and the nerve itself.
