The method of using eel to treat facial paralysis, eel also has this miraculous effect

Facial paralysis is a facial nerve disease, the main manifestations of which are the lack of self-control of facial nerve muscles, crooked eyes and crooked mouth. Facial paralysis has a great impact on people's appearance. There has been a popular saying among the people that eels can cure facial paralysis. Is this credible? How to use eel to treat facial paralysis?

1: According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", eels have the effects of replenishing qi, activating blood circulation, and removing blood stasis. Using eel blood to treat facial paralysis is more in line with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

2: Yellow eel meat is sweet and warm in nature. It is used as a folk medicine to treat symptoms such as fatigue and cough.

3: The blood dripped into the ear 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, sick, or have just given birth.

4: It is worth noting that the eel serum is slightly toxic. If accidentally ingested, it will irritate the human oral cavity and digestive tract mucosa. 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.

1: Local application is mainly used for oro-ocular paralysis (facial nerve paralysis), and can also be used for diseases such as tinea and fistula. 1. Apply eel blood to the affected side (if the mouth is tilted to the left, the right is the affected side; if the mouth is tilted to the right, the left is the affected side), wash it off after 30 minutes, and conduct a second treatment after 3 days. 2. First, use flour and water to knead it into thin noodles, make it into a circle and place it on the affected side of the face (to prevent the eel blood from flowing out), then use a sterilized injection needle to make a "cross" on the disinfected Dicang acupoint, allowing blood to seep out slightly. Then take an eel, cut off its head, and drip blood within the range of the noodle circle (drip thicker at the Dicang acupoint), wipe it off after 2 days, and do this every 2 to 5 days.

2: Ear and nose drops can be used to treat ear pain (such as chronic suppurative otitis media), epistaxis, etc. Place the eel in clean water for 6 to 8 hours. Clamp the eel's neck with tweezers or hemostatic forceps, cut off its tail with sterilized scissors, and drip fresh blood into its ears or nose. After applying nasal drops, you should tilt your head back for a few minutes; after applying ear drops, you need to lie on your side for 20 to 40 minutes. Before applying ear drops, you should first clean and dry the affected ear with 3% hydrogen peroxide or saline.

Every patient tries his best to cure facial paralysis. However, using eel blood to treat facial paralysis has a history of hundreds of years among the people. However, the effects vary. Although some patients with facial paralysis recovered quickly after being treated with eel blood for a period of time, it is still recommended that patients go to a regular hospital for treatment.
