This is a condition of the facial nerve involving sudden, electric-shock-like, and very intense pain – usually on one side of the face. TCM identifies the cause as blocked meridians due to factors like wind, heat, or blood stagnation.
Yes. Acupuncture can regulate nerve activity, improve blood circulation, and reduce both the frequency and intensity of pain attacks. Many patients experience rapid relief.
In chronic cases or for those with constitutional weaknesses, Chinese herbs support the therapy—for example, by promoting circulation or balancing internal cold and deficiencies.
Especially when medications are not well tolerated or cause unwanted side effects, TCM offers a gentle, natural option—either as a standalone or a complement to standard therapy.
In acute stages, we recommend 2–3 sessions per week, later moving to once weekly for stabilization. Initial therapy typically lasts 4–8 weeks, though chronic conditions may require longer care.
