Homeopathy Medicine for Bell`s Palsy

104

Bell’s palsy, also known as facial paralysis, is a self-resolving condition that typically affects one side of the face and causes partial or complete weakness of the facial muscles.

The Facial Nerve, which has its origins in the brain’s (pons) pons, is responsible for the “perceived sound volume,” as well as controlling the muscles of the forehead, neck, and facial expressions. It also stimulates saliva and tear production, and any injury to the Facial Nerve can result in Bell’s palsy.

There is no age restriction for the condition, and neither does it have a preference for one side of the face over the other.

Bell’s palsy is the most common disorder (mononeuropathy) affecting just one nerve, making it the most common cause of acute facial paralysis, affecting one in every 65 people once in their lifetime.

SYMPTOMS OF BELL’S PALSY

From slight weakness to complete paralysis, the symptoms can range in severity.

  • facial muscles on one side of the face are weak, from mild to severe.
  • Paralysis of facial muscles
  • eating, chewing, blowing, and drinking are all difficult
  • Twitching
  • Weakness
  • Headache
  • Giddiness
  • the affected side’s jaw or the area behind the ear may be uncomfortable or painful.
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Loss of taste
  • noise sensitivity on the affected side’s ear is increased
  • Symptoms associated with paralysis
  • Drooling of saliva
  • eyes or mouth corners that are drooping
  • mouth or eye dryness
  • Impaired sense of taste
  • in one eye, excessive tear production
  • Bell’s palsy patients may experience significant facial distortion.

CAUSES OF BELL’S PALSY

Although there is no known cause for Bell’s palsy, some of the following things may contribute to or precipitate it:

  • Viral infections: 70% of Bell’s palsy cases are thought to be caused by the herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1).
  • A bacterial infection called Lyme disease that is spread by tick bites
  • facial nerve injury or trauma

DIAGNOSIS OF BELL’S PALSY

Before identifying the condition as Bell’s palsy, all other recognized causes of facial palsy must be ruled out.

In addition, Bell’s palsy does not cause paralysis, weakness, or numbness in other areas of the body. Other causes of facial palsies commonly exhibit a number of symptoms not seen in Bell’s palsy.

COMPLICATION OF BELL’S PALSY

  • permanent facial muscle spasms and contractures
  • loss of taste perception that persists
  • Chronic eye (corneal) infections
  • When eating, people who experience “Crocodile tear syndrome” uncontrollably cry.

HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT FOR BELL’S PALSY

In order to choose a homeopathic remedy, a thorough case investigation must be conducted in order to determine the full set of symptoms that can serve as the basis for a similimum’s prescription.

1. ACONITE :Very helpful in the early stages of acute conditions when facial paralysis results from abrupt exposure to cold air. The affected side of the face feels numb or tingly as well as cold.

2. CAUSTICUM :Very helpful for people with a history of exposure to cold air who have chronic facial paralysis. Also helpful if the paralysis was caused by complications that came before the paralytic symptoms.

3. IGNATIA :Given when symptoms of grief like weeping, brooding, and sadness are associated with this issue, as well as when there is a complaint of frequent biting inside the cheeks while talking or swallowing, as well as when there is an excess of saliva in the mouth.

4. HYPERICUM :incredibly helpful for facial paralysis caused by injury. The affected side of the face may feel tingly, numb, or even burn.
