Bell’s palsy is a sudden weakness or facial muscle paralysis resulting from a dysfunction of the cranial nerve VII (the facial nerve). The paralysis is generally unilateral and often occurs overnight without any specific cause that can be identified. Acupuncture is generally a very effective way in treatment of Bell’s palsy.
Case 1: Female, Y32. Bell’s palsy for 6 days, after falling sleep under an electric fun. This is her 2nd onset of Bell’s palsy. The first one happened 15 years ago.
