Question
Patients with facial paralysis have been diagnosed with this condition and want to know what dietary taboos there are and whether they can eat more fruits?
Answer
Patients with facial paralysis can opt for acupuncture treatment, which stimulates acupoints, unblocks meridians, relieves facial spasms, and accelerates the recovery of the disease. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that facial paralysis is caused by wind affecting the face and blocked meridians, and can be treated with wind-dispelling medicine in conjunction with treatment. In terms of diet, patients should avoid spicy and irritating foods and can consume fruits in moderation, but should consult a doctor for advice based on their individual constitution and condition.
