Question
How long should the castor oil paste be applied for facial paralysis?
Answer
Castor oil seeds, using the kernel inside, are chopped and taken internally on the affected side of the face to treat facial paralysis. This method is effective for treating a type of facial neuritis. Castor oil seeds have the effects of reducing swelling, expelling toxins, and promoting bowel movement. If used to treat facial neuritis, the seeds should be shelled, pounded into a paste, and applied to the affected side of the mandibular joint and mouth corner (thick about 0.3 mm). Securely wrap with gauze bandage and change the paste once daily.
