Traditional Chinese medicine can treat facial paralysis in different ways at different times

Facial paralysis is a disease that poses a serious threat to human health in social life. Generally speaking, when people find that they have facial paralysis, they should quickly seek appropriate methods for treatment. So, how does traditional Chinese medicine treat facial paralysis?

1. When the wind evil invades the meridians at the beginning, TCM treatment should focus on removing wind and detoxifying.

As for the disease of facial paralysis, it actually occurs more frequently in spring and autumn. The symptoms are relatively typical. The main symptoms are facial paralysis, tinnitus, dizziness, and inability to contract facial muscles. The main cause of facial paralysis is the evil wind and cold that invade the head and face, causing stagnation of qi and blood and obstruction of meridians.

Facial paralysis is a disease that develops rapidly. In the early stage of treatment, the main focus should be on dispelling wind and detoxifying. At this time, Chinese medicine treatment mainly uses traditional Chinese medicine, such as Schizonepeta, Vitex rotundifolia, Saposhnikovia divaricata, Cistanche deserticola, Luffa loofah, earthworm, centipede, white mustard, Streptococcus aureus, scorpion, and wild chrysanthemum. However, if you want to know what to use specifically, you still need to see a doctor and follow his or her guidance.

2. In the middle stage, TCM treatment focuses on promoting blood circulation, unblocking meridians, and relieving blood stasis.

If the patient suffers from facial paralysis for more than half a month, the condition will still develop. The main developments are qi stagnation, blood stasis, and meridian obstruction. The patient will have symptoms of facial muscle atrophy and weakness, and facial numbness. At this time, the treatment should focus on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, supplemented by unblocking the meridians and straightening the meridians. The Chinese medicine you need to choose at this time is mainly safflower, angelica, centipede, earthworm, red peony root, white mustard, Chuanxiong, turmeric, scorpion, and peach kernel.

3. If the disease lasts for a long time, the Chinese medicine treatment should focus on nourishing blood and unblocking meridians.

If the patient with facial paralysis suffers from the disease for more than 2 months, the condition will turn into a state of deficiency of the body's health and excess of evil. In addition to facial paralysis, other symptoms will appear, such as fatigue, spontaneous sweating, tinnitus, poor appetite and other signs of insufficient qi and blood. For the treatment of this symptom, the main focus should be on dredging the meridians and replenishing qi and blood. If Chinese medicine is chosen, the main ingredients should be roasted yam, astragalus, coix seed, red peony root, luffa, calamus, chuanxiong, kudzu root, salvia miltiorrhiza, and white peony root.
