Question
Are there any self-massage methods for facial paralysis?
Answer
If facial paralysis recurs recently, during the acute phase of the condition, it’s best to seek hospital treatment, where various nerve-nourishing medications and a very small amount of hormones can be administered. Without routine treatment in the early stages, it’s easy to develop sequelae. Typically, they should pay more attention to wearing masks to protect against cold and wind. Usually, I can chew more gum, place hot water on my face, and rub my face. Close your eyes, relax your body, and simultaneously use your thumb and palm to massage your ears, then press the Yifeng point but do not go below 1 minute. With both hands and the pads of your index fingers, massage the sides of the upper eye socket while maintaining a proper posture. I have slight swelling and pain; depending on the situation, massage in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions 20 times, and finally, massage the tip of your thumb. Massage the Da Ying point 20 times in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions with a slightly stronger intensity.
