Acupuncture has a long history of supporting facial paralysis recovery — helping restore nerve function, muscle control, and facial symmetry naturally.针灸在面瘫恢复方面有着悠久的历史——帮助自然恢复神经功能、肌肉控制和面部对称。
Bell's palsy is a sudden, temporary weakness or paralysis of facial muscles, typically on one side. It is believed to be caused by inflammation and swelling of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII). While many cases improve on their own within weeks to months, acupuncture may help accelerate recovery and improve outcomes.面瘫是面部肌肉突然的暂时性无力或瘫痪，通常发生在一侧。被认为是由面神经（第七对颅神经）的炎症和肿胀引起的。虽然许多病例在数周至数月内自行好转，但针灸可以帮助加速恢复和改善预后。
In TCM, Bell's palsy is understood as an invasion of Wind-Cold affecting the facial channels. Dr. Yi's treatment focuses on expelling pathogenic factors, restoring Qi and blood circulation to the face, and supporting nerve regeneration through precise needle placement along affected facial meridians.在中医看来，面瘫被理解为风寒侵袭面部经络。易清医师的治疗着重于驱除病邪、恢复面部气血循环，并通过在受影响的面部经络上精准取穴来支持神经再生。
