Why is the right side of my face numb?

We must pay attention to facial numbness. Facial numbness may be caused by facial paralysis. Generally, facial paralysis is caused by facial nerve paralysis or damage, such as facial neuritis. In daily life, if we feel discomfort in our face, we must pay more attention to rest, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and get enough sleep to relax.

Psychological care is very important for patients with facial paralysis. This disease usually occurs suddenly, so patients will have some bad psychological emotions, such as tension, fear, or anxiety, etc. These adverse psychological factors are not conducive to the treatment of the disease. Therefore, it is very important to enlighten and comfort patients in time, so that patients can build confidence and actively seek treatment.

Eye care is also very important for patients with facial paralysis. They often have difficulty closing their eyes because facial paralysis causes the cornea to be exposed for a long time, which can easily lead to corneal infection. Therefore, it is very important to care for the pharynx. It is necessary to reduce the use of the eyes. Patients can try to close their eyes and rest, or wear an eye mask to protect their eyes, or use some eye drops.

In terms of diet, you should try to eat easily digestible food, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as corn, lean meat, winter melon and cucumber. Eat more of these foods, eat less raw, cold and greasy food, and do not eat irritating food. In addition, for other aspects of care, facial paralysis can be treated with external application of Chinese medicine, or you can just apply a warm towel to your face.

Patients and their families must know more about this nursing knowledge, which is of great help to the recovery of the disease. In addition, patients should not lose confidence in the treatment, but should build up confidence and actively seek treatment. They believe that they can be cured quickly. In addition, they should pay attention to rest during the illness, not be too emotional, and do some appropriate exercise and listen to music.

Can mild facial paralysis be treated with moxibustion?

Acupoints for moxibustion: Yangbai, Taiyang, Qianzheng, Dicang, Yifeng, Fengchi, Zusanli.

Make moxa into a cone-shaped moxa stick the size of half a small peanut, with a round tip and a flat bottom. Place 2-3 mm thick slices of garlic or ginger (the latter should be pierced with multiple small holes using a toothpick). Use 13-15 sticks per acupoint, 1-2 times a day.

Press the acupoints with the index and middle fingers of both hands at the same time, from light to heavy, and then from heavy to light, in a clockwise direction for 3 to 5 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day.

After rubbing the palms of your hands together to warm them up, massage your face from the lower part of the face to the upper part to the forehead, then spread your hands to the temples and the roots of the ears, brush your cheeks and go down to the mouth and chin, 60 to 100 times each time. Move gently until you feel a comfortable local heat.
