How to treat facial paralysis with eel blood? Is this method good?

My classmate buys eels everywhere for her husband. Can eel blood cure facial paralysis? A few days ago, when my classmate's husband woke up in the morning, he felt some discomfort on one side of his face. His muscles were stiff, his mouth and eyes were crooked, and his movements were not flexible. The doctor said it was neurological facial paralysis. My classmate's husband was very anxious, fearing that this disease was difficult to cure, and asked people everywhere for any folk remedies to relieve the disease. I heard that eel blood can cure facial paralysis, but I don't know if this method is good. Now I will introduce the content in detail.

Eel has the effects of replenishing qi, activating blood circulation, and removing blood stasis. Using eel blood to treat facial paralysis is more in line with traditional Chinese medicine theory.

The meat of yellow eel is sweet and warm in nature. It is used as a folk medicine to treat symptoms such as fatigue and cough.

When the blood is dripped into the ear, it can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, relieve nerve fatigue, and treat chronic suppurative otitis media. Especially when used externally, it can treat crooked mouth, squinting eyes, and facial paralysis. It is more effective for people who are weak, those suffering from illness, or those who have given birth.

It is worth noting that the eel serum is slightly toxic and can irritate the oral cavity and digestive tract mucosa if accidentally ingested. However, this toxin is not heat-resistant and will be destroyed by gastric juice and high temperature. Generally, poisoning will not occur if it is cooked.

The traditional use of eel blood to treat facial paralysis utilizes the principle of using poison to fight poison. The real reason behind this still needs further study.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that facial paralysis (i.e. facial deviation) is mostly caused by insufficient vital energy, empty blood vessels, the invasion of wind evil into the meridians, and obstruction of qi and blood. The mechanism of eel blood in treating facial paralysis is, firstly, eel blood is mobile in nature, and can dispel wind, activate blood circulation, and dredge meridians and activate collaterals; secondly, after eel blood is applied to the face and allowed to dry, it can pull the facial muscles, stimulate the nerves, and promote the paralyzed muscles to return to normal. Applying eel blood externally alone is effective in treating facial paralysis; clinical evidence shows that this method is more effective when used in conjunction with acupuncture, massage, and medication.

Commonly used method: After beheading or dissecting a live eel, immediately smear the blood on the affected side, wait 4 to 5 hours before washing off the blood. Do this once a day (or once every two days), and 10 times constitute a course of treatment. Generally, the tightening feeling when applying blood in the morning is more obvious than in the afternoon, and the therapeutic effect is better. Before applying, it is best to massage the affected area properly.

All of the above content is what I want to introduce to my friends about how to use eel blood to treat facial paralysis. Suffering from facial paralysis will make people feel inferior, and they are afraid that others will notice the discomfort on their face wherever they go. They must seek treatment quickly. The earlier the treatment, the easier it will be to recover quickly. The longer the treatment is delayed, the less ideal the treatment effect will be. I wish you good health.
