How do we tret nerve palsy?!


Question:

How do we tret nerve palsy?


Answers:

Nerve palsy or Bell's palsy is a disorder of the nerve that controls certain muscles of the face.

People with Bell's palsy lose control of some or all of the muscles on one half of the face; consequently, the face looks asymmetrical. Rarely are both sides of the face affected. The cause is unknown, and the disorder usually resolves without treatment within six to twelve months and there are very effective homeopathic remedies available to treat it.

Some common symptoms of Bell's palsy include a rapid onset of weakness, numbness, heaviness, or paralysis of one side of the face. People with Bell's palsy may also have symptoms of pain behind the ear, inability to completely close one eye, drooling, and speech difficulties.

People with diabetes or hypertension have greater-than-average risk for Bell's palsy.1, 2, 3 While no research has investigated whether better control of these conditions may help prevent Bell's palsy, people with Bell's palsy should be checked for diabetes and hypertension, especially if the palsy occurs repeatedly or affects both sides of the face.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause nerve degeneration,4 and both oral5 and injected6, 7 vitamin B12 have been used to treat many types of nerve disorders.8 One older case report described successful treatment of chronic Bell's palsy with vitamin B12 injections of 500 to 1,000 mcg given every one to two days.9 A more recent trial compared the effect of 500 mcg of injected vitamin B12 (in the form of methylcobalamin) given three times weekly for at least eight weeks-steroid medication, or both. Researchers found significantly faster recovery in the groups given B12 injections with or without steroids, compared to those given steroids alone.10 These findings agree with earlier reports on the effectiveness of methylcobalamin injections for Bell's palsy.11, 12 It is unlikely that oral vitamin B12 would be similarly effective. People seeking B12 injections should consult a physician.

Hahnemann commented on the power of Rhus in curing paralysis of the lower extremities, and here it has proved exceedingly useful.
