Question
My husband has been suffering from facial palsy for nearly two months. Although he has been taking traditional Chinese medicine and receiving acupuncture treatment, the facial and eye symptoms are almost healed. However, he experiences dizziness on the affected side and a decrease in hearing. What is this condition?
Answer
Facial palsy has long been a challenging problem in the medical field. Currently, most treatment methods, such as acupuncture, cupping, injections, physical therapy, and surgery, have not achieved significant results. These methods not only increase the patients’ medical costs but also delay the best treatment opportunity, leading to long-term non-healing of the condition.
