1. Self-massage therapy

When massaging, you can push from bottom to top along the direction of the facial muscles. For example, use the thumb on the affected side to push up along the cheek on the paralyzed side to the cheekbone, and repeat about 30 times. Be careful to use moderate force until you feel a slight warmth in the area, and always push the muscles from bottom to top.

2. Acupoint massage treatment

When massaging, you can push from bottom to top along the direction of the facial muscles. For example, use the thumb on the affected side to push up along the cheek on the paralyzed side to the cheekbone, and repeat about 30 times.

3. Moxibustion treatment

Place the lit moxa stick close to the Xiaguan, Jianche, Hegu and other acupoints for fumigation. Fumigation for 5-10 minutes per acupoint, and do it once a day until the facial muscles return to normal.

It is best to have a family member perform the operation, and care should be taken to avoid burns.
