What is the effective treatment for mild facial paralysis?

Facial paralysis is relatively common in clinical practice, and facial paralysis is also divided into different types. Mild facial paralysis must be treated as soon as possible. Regarding the question of how to treat mild facial paralysis, most people may choose some self-treatment methods, that is, massage and diet can also improve facial paralysis.

1. Diet therapy

Such as: Fangfeng porridge, ginger, sugar and perilla leaf drink, fish head stewed with Chuanxiong and Angelica dahurica, ginseng, wolfberry and lotus paste soup, and jujube porridge.

2. Self-treatment methods:

1. Preparation: If you are lying in bed, take a pillow; if you are sitting, lean your head against the wall. The patient concentrates his mind and eliminates distracting thoughts. Before massage, do a hot compress with Chinese medicine or a soaked towel. Be careful not to get the medicine into your eyes accidentally.

2. Scrape the eyelids in circles. Use the ribbed surfaces of the index and middle fingers of both hands as the surgical tips. Scrape the upper and lower eyelids evenly from the inner canthus to the outside 50 times each, and then gently rub the eyelids for 20-30 turns.

3. Rub the wings of the nose with your fingers. Use the ribbed surface of your index fingers as the tips, and rub from both sides of the root of the nose down to the Yingxiang points on both sides of the wings of the nose 50 times. Gently press and rub the points for 1-2 minutes (the Yingxiang points are 0.5 cm away from the wings of the nose). Press with the fingertips from light to heavy gradually to cure symptoms such as crooked mouth and nasal congestion.

4. Rub the cheek-cartilage and dicang points with your palm. Press the thenar muscle of the same-side hand against the cheek-cartilage point (massage muscle) on the affected side, and move to the dicang point (0.5 cm away from the corner of the mouth) while rubbing, and repeat 50 times.
