What is facial paralysis? What are the causes of facial paralysis? How to prevent it?

There are two kinds of facial paralysis. One is central facial paralysis, which is called "true stroke" in Chinese medicine. It is mainly caused by brain accidents, including cerebrovascular accidents or craniocerebral injuries. Generally, the onset is dangerous and the prognosis is poor. Facial paralysis only appeared as a sequela during the rescue. The second type is peripheral type, which is called "stroke-like" by Chinese medicine. Modern medicine thinks that it is caused by inflammatory edema caused by facial nerve infection, while Chinese medicine thinks that it is hot weather, especially when sleeping, "through flow", air conditioning wind and window drilling wind take advantage of it, which leads to mouth and eyes askew when waking up and no other systemic symptoms. Commonly known as "thief wind"

I want to talk about some simple and effective daily preventive measures here. First of all, when the seasons alternate, it is a period of high incidence of facial paralysis, so everyone should be sensitive to these periods and take protective measures in cold weather and hot weather. Going out in cold weather is mainly to protect the face, especially in the morning and evening, when moisture is most likely to enter the body.

Facial paralysis comes from qi, which is very reasonable. Of course, this is not an absolute factor. I have come into contact with many facial paralysis more than three times, and I call these people habitual facial paralysis patients. I come to the conclusion that these people are generally unstable, either impatient or sullen and serious. Of course, this is not absolute. In short, patients with facial paralysis should pay special attention to emotional adjustment in their lives. Don't be angry, just take it easy. People who have never suffered from facial paralysis or sequelae of facial paralysis should also pay attention to emotional problems, which is the key factor for prevention.

Another way to prevent facial paralysis is not to drink frozen water, drinks, wine, etc. Don't blow the air conditioner directly, and don't set the temperature of the fan and air conditioner too low. When the body is very hot, wait for a while to cool down before entering the air-conditioned room. You can usually apply a hot towel to your face to activate facial qi and blood. Proper exercise enhances physical fitness.
