Question

How much does it generally cost to treat facial paralysis?

Answer

Facial paralysis is primarily caused by insufficient lung capacity, deficiency of Qi and blood, and invasion of external pathogens. Common treatment methods include acupuncture therapy, needling at Renzhong, clearing blood, and Hegu points. Acupuncture at main points combined with additional points can unblock meridians and achieve quick results. The technique of acupuncture should be flexibly controlled according to the syndrome of deficiency and excess in meridian channels. For peripheral facial nerve palsy not caused by central nervous system disorders, taking nerve-nourishing medications while undergoing peripheral treatment is more effective. Preventive measures should include avoiding colds and keeping warm; eating a light diet, avoiding greasy foods; and consuming easily digestible foods.
