What is the reason for the crooked mouth? Can it be cured?

Many people have crooked mouths, most of which are caused by psychological factors. For this phenomenon, we must first correct our mentality, and then we can alleviate the condition through acupuncture therapy, plaster therapy and drug therapy.

What causes crooked mouth?

Psychological factors can easily cause facial paralysis: Surveys show that psychological factors are one of the important factors causing facial nerve paralysis. Before facial nerve paralysis occurs, a considerable number of patients suffer from physical fatigue, lack of sleep, mental tension and physical discomfort.

Supplementing calcium and B vitamins can help with facial nerve diseases.

Calcium is not only beneficial to bones and intelligence, but also can promote normal muscle and nerve function. Since patients with facial nerve diseases mainly suffer from facial nerve conduction disorders which lead to muscle atrophy, calcium supplementation is very important. Spare ribs, dark green vegetables, egg yolks, kelp, sesame, fruits, carrots, watermelon, dairy products, etc. are all rich in calcium.

B vitamins are also helpful for facial nerve diseases, such as B1, B2, B12, etc. Vitamin B group is rich in the following foods: coriander, tomatoes, winter melon, cucumber, papaya, apple, pineapple, pear, peach, watermelon, apricot, persimmon, and grapes. .Vitamin B can help the synthesis of neurotransmitters, so it should be supplemented appropriately.

Treatment for crooked mouth

1. Acupuncture treatment

Acupuncture is one of the traditional methods for treating facial paralysis. It can relieve the condition to a certain extent and has relatively small side effects. However, acupuncture does have great risks. The facial nerves are complex and the slightest carelessness can cause sequelae of facial paralysis. Many sequelae of facial paralysis patients are caused by acupuncture. We recommend that patients be cautious when choosing this treatment method.

2. Plaster treatment

Plaster treatment is a type of external Chinese medicine. It uses vegetable oil or animal oil to add medicine to boil into a gelatinous substance, which is applied to one side of cloth, paper or leather. It can be attached to the affected area for a long time. It is mainly used to reduce swelling and pain, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, dredge meridians, etc. It can relieve crooked mouth and squinting eyes to a certain extent, but it cannot completely cure facial paralysis. In addition, plaster is a folk remedy with slow effect. Improper compatibility can easily delay the disease, irritate the facial skin, and cause skin ulcers.

3. Drug treatment

Vitamin drugs or antiviral, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs can improve blood circulation, increase nutrition of facial nerves and relieve facial discomfort symptoms, but patients need to take them for a long time. Long-term use of drugs will cause simple thrombocytopenia in patients, leading to blood diseases, and can also cause memory loss, decreased vision and hearing, and liver damage.
