Facial Palsy: A Ray of Hope

Supportive Supplements

Herbs and Eyecare

You Can Look And Feel Like You Again

The supportive supplements recommended by various therapists are as follows:

The herbs have changed a bit throughout... at 1st I was taking antivirals as well.

It just depends on why Bell's Palsy struck you.

Supplements

Vit B12

Vit B Complex

Vit C

Vit D3

Essential Fatty Acids

Magnesium and Calcium in the evening

Turmeric for inflammation

I added Marshmallow Root and noticed improvement

Teas

Make a pot of tea frequently with a mixture of these supportive herbs. You can vary it to change things up. A thermal tea pot keeps it warm all day.
Lemon Balm
St. Johns Wort (caution if you are on any medication)
Wood Betony
Oatstraw
Skullcap
Holy Basil
Ginger
Nettle
Lavender
Bee Balm

Tinctures

I have been taking these tinctures regularly throughout.

Wood Betony

Skullcap

Lions Mane

Reishi

and others for the hormonal shifts to navigate perimenopause, a factor that made my Bells Palsy recovery harder.

Eye Care

Because the eye does not blink you will need to keep hydrating it at first.
I used a preservative free dry eye therapy for day time drops and a tear-gel for nighttime.
Use an eye patch outside in the wind or a dirty job that can cause debris in the eye. Or safety glasses.
I used a long magic bag just room temperature to keep my eye closed while sleeping. Taping did not seem to work for me but the weight did.

Get inspired with ongoing tips and guidance.
