Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Facial palsy may occur in people with any ages. Its onset is sudden and frequently the patient awakens in the morning to find the face paralyzed. It usually results from stagnancy of qi and blood stasis induced muscular flaccid due to hypofunction of meridians and additional attack of the face by pathogenic wind-cold or wind-heat. In modern medicine, it is called as periphery facial paralysis. In recent years, we treat it by puncturing the distal acupoints and have achieved a good therapeutic effect. Following is the summary.
