Bell’s Palsy & Facial Paralysis

Bell’s Palsy & Facial Paralysis
Bell’s Palsy causes sudden weakness or paralysis on one side of the face, often making it difficult to smile, close the eye, or speak clearly. It’s usually linked to inflammation or viral infection affecting the facial nerve. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this condition is viewed as “Wind invasion,” which blocks the flow of Qi and blood in the facial meridians.

Acupuncture is one of the most effective natural treatments for Bell’s Palsy. By gently inserting fine needles into points on the face and body, acupuncture stimulates the facial muscles, improves blood flow, and encourages nerve repair. Patients often notice gradual improvement in movement and symmetry after a few sessions. Additional therapies like moxibustion, cupping, and facial massage may also be used to speed up recovery. Early treatment (within the first few weeks) usually brings faster and better results. Regular sessions can help restore normal facial function and prevent long-term stiffness or drooping.
