WHAT IT IS
Bell’s palsy is a weakness or paralysis of one side of the face that causes it to droop and appear significantly uneven. It is not caused by stroke, as some think, but instead it is an inflammation said to be derived from the herpes virus. It is neither permanent nor fatal, but because you “wear” your face every day of your life, dealing with an onset of Bell’s palsy can be socially debilitating in your personal and professional life.
SYMPTOMS & DIAGNOSIS
In addition to sudden drooping on one side of the face, other symptoms include drooling, eyes that are excessively dry or teary, pain in or behind the eye, loss of the ability to taste, numbness and/or increased sensitivity to sound. It can be diagnosed by a combination of questions from your doctor and a physical and neurological exam to assess your facial nerve function.

Acupuncture is a painless and non-surgical way to bring you relief from Bell’s Palsy and, if practiced in a short series of regular sessions (3-5 – it varies by patient), will help you to rid yourself of it entirely. Acupuncture will clear any blockages you may have from a wind invasion, restoring the flow of your Qi to your face and ultimately, your confidence as well, as you return to your normal self.
