Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Facial Paralysis: 1) Massage the face in the upward direction from chin to the ear with Ashwagandha - Bala oil. 2) Formentation with Steam or herb infused steam (Nirgudi/ Dashamoola) 3) Also as is said in the texts - "Ardite navanam murdhni tailam tarpanam eva cha Nadiswedopanahasch Aanoop Pishitairhitaha" Which means:- Do Nasya Therapy- Oil drops in the nose Shirobasti Karnapooran- Oil in the ears Eat unctuous foods. Avoid dry foods which will increase Vata. Avoid being in windy places for that increases Vata too. Holding warm sesame oil in the mouth also helps which is (Gandush/ Kawal Dharan). Take Vata Pacifyng herbs and Vata strengthening herbs internally. These may include Ashwagandha, Bala, Mahayograjaguggulu. If you are based in India you may have access to combinations with metal ashes namely:-Mahavata Vidhvansa and Bruhat Vata Chintamani.These combinations are very helpful for strengthening. All the above mentioned treatment and especially the right use of the herbal combinations(with ashes) should be done under the guidance of a licenced Ayurvedic Practitioner. It would be a good idea to find an Ayurvedic Practitioner in your area, so that he/ she can advice the course of treatment based on his/her clinical examination and findings.
