Facial Palsy - #17117
A few weeks ago, I woke up and noticed that one side of my face felt weak. I couldn’t move the muscles around my mouth or eyebrow, and my smile seemed uneven. After seeing a doctor, I was diagnosed with facial palsy, which I learned occurs when the facial nerve becomes damaged or inflamed, causing temporary weakness or paralysis in the facial muscles. The doctor explained that this condition is often temporary, but it can take time for the muscles to regain full function. I’m relieved that the condition is usually reversible, but I’m still concerned about the recovery process and whether there’s anything I can do to speed it up. I’ve been trying physical therapy exercises to strengthen the muscles in my face, but I’m wondering if there are any other treatments or lifestyle changes that could support the healing process. I’ve also been exploring Ayurvedic remedies and whether they can help with nerve recovery. I’ve heard that certain herbs, like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, can support the nervous system and improve circulation, but I’m unsure if they would help in my case. Are there any Ayurvedic practices or natural treatments that could complement physical therapy and promote faster recovery from facial palsy? Has anyone dealt with facial palsy? How long did it take to recover, and did you find any natural remedies or Ayurvedic treatments helpful?
