Question
My grandmother has just been diagnosed with Bell’s palsy. Her facial muscles are very stiff. How should she be treated during this period?
Answer
Bell’s palsy is a neurological facial paralysis that usually requires treatment to promote blood circulation and resolve stagnation. The primary cause of this condition is neuritis of the facial nerve, a non-bacterial, non-purulent inflammation of the facial nerve. Common treatment methods include medication, acupuncture, and physical therapy.
