What is Bell's palsy?

Bell's palsy, also known as "deviated mouth and eye" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is one of the most common disorders affecting the facial nerves. It causes sudden weakness or paralysis on one side of the face, affecting normal functions such as closing the eye, eating, and drinking.

According to TCM, Bell's palsy is caused by a Wind factor. This Wind attacks the meridian channels of the face, which transport Qi and Blood to nourish the facial muscles. The condition often develops when there is a Qi deficiency in the meridians, enabling Wind pathogens to intrude and lead to Qi and Blood blockages.

How TCM can help treat Bell's palsy

While conventional medical approaches, such as steroid medications and physical therapy, can help to alleviate symptoms, they don't always provide complete relief.

 

TCM, on the other hand, takes a more holistic approach to treating Bell's palsy. This traditional treatment involves a combination of acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal remedies, and facial exercises, which work together to address Qi deficiency.

 

These natural therapies work with your body's own healing mechanisms to promote gradual, sustained improvement, rather than providing a temporary fix. The primary treatment goal is to expel Wind from the facial meridians.
