Facial nerve paralysis

Witness :Zhuang Jiating

Symptom : facial nerve paralysis

My facial paralysis has totally recovered after 16 acupuncture treatments

   In the evening of Dec. 2, I found my mouth slightly inclined after returning from Taichung. Then I couldn’t drink water the next morning, and noticed that the water would flow out from my left mouth’s corner. I didn’t know the severity of the disease that I knew I had so I decided to consult a gynaecologist as soon as I returned.. On Dec. 4, I found out that my condition was serious and had to be hurried to the neurology department. I was informed by the doctor that the pathogenesis was unclear and asked me to take steroids to relieve my condition before checking the injury situation. After two days, I thought that things were not looking too good and that I couldn’t go to work. Worried, I then searched on the Internet and found Dr. Wen’s Chinese Medicine Clinic’s website. I immediately called to register. Besides, I also went to examine the severity of my disease. On Dec. 27, I started my acupuncture treatment. The doctor diagnosed it as a typical facial nerve paralysis and considered 55% of my facial nerves were good and my symptoms had a 100% chance of recovering. It was just a matter of time and there was no other effective way to solve it. Only 10% could totally recover. Thanks to Dr. Wen’s treatment, I could now have a chance to recover in just 16 treatments.
