HELLO RAMYA,

WHAT IS IT -Bell’s palsy means sudden weakness or paralysis of one side of the face. it happens because the facial nerve (which controls blinking, smiling, lip movements) gets inflamed.

CAUSES= often after viral infections (like cold, flu, ear infection). In Ayurveda, this relates to vata imbalance

SYMPTOMS YOU MAY NOTICE= drooping mouth corner, difficulty closing one eye, less facial expression, sometimes taste changes or ear pain

PROGNOSIS = In children, recovery is usually excellent, though it may take weeks to months. Early steroid treatment improves recovery chances

TREATMENT GOALS -reduce nerve inflammation -protect the eye -support nerve healing nutrition, physiotherapy, ayurvedic rejuvinators -prevent long term weakness or stiffness- massage, exercise -balance vata dosha

MODERN MEDICINE SUPPORT -STEROIDS= already started, usually for 7-10 days -EYE CARE= lubricating drops/ointment + protective eye patch at night -PHYSIOTHERAPY= facial exercises, massages, bubble blowing etc -IF NO IMPROVEMENT BY 3 MONTHS= MRI, nerve conduction study required

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= KSHEERBALA TAILA -gentle massage face and behind the ear 5-10 minutes daily warm oil massage =improves circulation, reduces vata, nourishes nerves

2) MILD FOMENTATION -after massage, apply warm towel/fomentation =relaxes stiff muscles, helps nerve signals

3) NASYA IN CHILDREN= very mild few drop of warm cow’s ghee in nostril =ayurveda believes nose is the gateway to head, helps nerve healing

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) KSHEERBALA 101 DROPS= 2 drops in milk in morning =for vata balance, nerve health

2) BALA GHRITA= 2-3 drops mixed in warm milk once daily for 2 months =soothes nerves, balances vata

3) ASHWAGANDHARISHTA= 2ml diluted in half glass water once daily after meals =strengthens nerves, reduces fatigue, improves recovery

4) CHYAWANPRASHA AVALEHA= 1/2 tsp 3 gm with warm milk in morning for 2 months =rasayana, nerve nourishment, immunity booster

DIET -warm, freshly cooked meals -khichdi, soft rice, dal, vegetable soups -ghee cow’s ghee- nourishes nerves -fruits= pomegranate, apple, banana, papaya, oranges -milk with turmeric or small amount of ghe

AVOID -cold foods, ice creams, refrigerated items -junk food, excess fried/spicy snacks -very dry foods

LIFESTYLE -keep child warm (avoid exposure to cold wind, sleeping under fan/AC directly) -regular sleep, no late nights -encourage play and laughter supports natural facial movement

AT 3 YEARS, FORMAL YOGA ISN’T POSSIBLE , BUT YOCAN ENCOURAGE -Blowing balloons/bubbles= strengthens facial muscles -making funny faces in mirror= encourages symmetrical movements -gentle humming sounds (“mmm”) like bee-breath-> relaxes nerves -encourage deep breathing through nose in playful way

-Most children recover completely within 3-6 months -improvement is sometimes slow, don’t lose hope -continue eye protection + gentle exercises daily -modern medicine + ayurvedic supportive care together gives best results -your love, care and encouragement making therapy fun through play will make recovery faster
