摘要

顏面神經炎多由於風邪乘虛入侵手足陽明之脈，導致風痰夾瘀流竄經絡，陽明絡脈壅滯不利而發生口眼喎斜。這些病例發作後，經由針灸、內服藥，禁食辛辣油炸物，而改善。顏面神經炎多為本虛標實之證，在治療上，藥物與針灸並施，又治風先治血，血行風自滅，調整陽明、少陽兩經的經氣，籍以促進麻痺神經的恢復。顏面神經炎，一般起病急，及早治療效果較好，較易痊癒；如果在六個月以上不癒者有可能成為終身面癱。就當前來說，在中醫辨證論治的基礎上採用水煎藥與針灸配合是較理想的方法。

Facial palsy is often caused by invasion of wind into hand and foot Yangming meridians that results in wind, phlegm and stasis flow inside meridians causing blockage. The three cases have been improved after acupuncture and herbal treatment with food caution such as banning deep fried and spicy food. Facial palsy is a syndrome with deficient on the inside and excess on the outside. When performing treatment, it is to focus on the blood level because when circulation can flow freely, the wind cannot cause any blockage. The treatment also focuses on adjusting qi of Yangming and Shaoyang meridians to facilitate the repair of nerves. Facial palsy has rapid onset and will have better result when receiving treatment at early stage. If treatment is not performed for the first 6 months, it might progress to permanent facial palsy. It is quite ideal to utilize both acupuncture and herbal treatment.
