Question
Can Facial Palsy Be Treated with Moxibustion? What Are the Treatment Effects?
Answer
Firstly, there are many causes of facial palsy, with traditional Chinese medicine attributing it mainly to external wind-cold invasions, which may also be related to some vascular diseases. If facial palsy is caused by wind-cold, acupuncture or moxibustion can be considered for treatment. While seeking formal treatment, patients can also use these methods as auxiliary treatments in their daily lives. In terms of diet, it is important to avoid overeating and under-eating, and to prevent excessive intake of irritant foods.
