How Can Facial Paralysis Be Treated?
I have just noticed the left side of my face is different to the right side. I looked into the symptoms of stoke and i experienced all the symptoms around 6 months ago. I m over weight but very active. I prefer natural treatment. What are my options?

Hi,
First of all, you need to get yourself checked by a neurologist or an oral surgeon. This is because there is a possibility of having paralysis of one side of the face due to facial palsy or Bell's palsy, which is due to nerve related problem that is facial nerve.
The line of treatment is different for both, however, to regain muscle strength facial physiotherapy can very much help. Also, take vitamin B complex supplement.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
