Hello,

As what I understand is you have a hemifacial muscle spasm. So it would have been good if you had provided some more information in the past medical history. As any spasm over the facial region will have an HMF involved and needs a briefing for anyone to undergo in the depth if the case.

For now, I will recommend for facial massage, facial massage, MFR of the facial muscles and some basic exercise like holding water in the mouth and making the water blown in each direction.

Regarding homeopathy and acupressure I am quite unsure it may be helpful to you because any chronic cases needs a proper allopathic attention initially and later change over to homeopathic or ayurvedic medicine.

Also, trying out botox is actually good, since its having no side effects at all so you can go for botox for a quick solution.

This is totally my personal opinion about botox rather going to homeopathic and acupressure and making wastage of money.

Infact people with facial palsy, bells palsy and HMF involved have responded well to botox for facial muscles.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
