Exploring Acupuncture and Moxibustion Treatment for Peripheral Facial Paralysis Based on Characteristics of Cold Regions
Peripheral facial paralysis is prevalent in cold regions,influenced by the unique climate and the distinctive lifestyle of the inhabitants.This results in regional characteristics of the disease,which include deficiency in the meridians,invasion of wind pathogens,and in internal and external afflictions;retention of cold pathogens causing blood stasis and muscle malnutrition;dietary preferences leading to the accumulation of phlegm-dampness,which disrupts the meridians.In clinical practice,TCM practitioners should tailor their diagnostic approach and acupuncture methods to the specific constitution and pathogenic characteristics of patients with peripheral facial paralysis in cold regions.Treatment should be adapted to local conditions and individual needs,addressing both root causes and symptoms,and applying acupuncture techniques judiciously and appropriately.
