BELL's PALSY
Bell’s palsy, or idiopathic facial palsy, is an acute facial paralysis due to facial nerve inflammation. Bell’s palsy, or idiopathic facial palsy, is a unilateral, lower motor neuron facial paralysis which is sensitive in onset. Paralysis distorts facial features and interferes with normal functions, such as closing the eye and eating. Several studies published in China have suggested acupuncture is beneficial for facial palsy.
From observations with the polymerase chain reaction to detect viral DNA, a herpes simplex virus-mediated viral inflammatory immune mechanism has become more widely accepted as the cause.
In Bell’s palsy, acupuncture treatment might have numerous beneficial effects. It involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the skin or applying various other techniques to the acupuncture points to bring about healing. This review aimed to systematically review all randomized controlled trials and controlled clinical trials that examined acupuncture’s effectiveness by needle insertion for Bell’s palsy.

The disease is not important. The “patient” is important, because the patient has created the disease. The cause is in the patient; the disease is only a symptom. You can change the symptom, and another symptom will come up. You can force this disease by drugs, you can stop its expression, but then the disease will assert itself somewhere else and with more danger, more force – with a vengeance. So we will feel the “patient.” As we all aware education and experience equality important. But most important to get in tune with the “patient” and find the cause using both western and eastern medicine. We care and will build a rapport; and create a bridge on your healing journey!

The herbs were soaked
The herbs were soaked in water for 20 minutes before decoction. The resulting liquid was filtered, and 1800 mL was placed inside an HY2-IC medical fumigator. The decoction was maintained at 35–40 degrees Celsius (95–104 degrees Fahrenheit) and was used to steam the affected side of the patients’ faces. As patients lay supine, fumigator nozzles were positioned 30–50cm away and pointed at the affected areas. For 30 minutes, the skin was sprayed with hot vapour evenly. All treatments in both groups were administered for ten successive days, followed by a two-day rest. A total of three courses were administered.
