Question
The mother doesn’t know why her right side of the mouth and eyelid keep drooping. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it’s facial paralysis and that immediate treatment is needed. She has heard that eel blood therapy is very effective and wants to consult about how long she can apply the eel blood plaster for facial paralysis?
Answer
Eel blood can dispel wind and activate blood circulation, unblock meridians, and treat facial paralysis, showing certain therapeutic effects. Don’t worry too much when you encounter this situation. If you only use eel blood externally to treat facial paralysis, the effect may not be very noticeable. Combining it with acupuncture, massage, and medication can enhance the effectiveness. The sooner treatment is started after the recurrence of facial paralysis, the better the outcome. Patients must choose a treatment method that is skilled in their condition and implement treatment as soon as possible.
