Natural Remedies for Bell's Palsy

I successfully used castor oil packs for Bells Palsy which my co- worker contracted. I was beginning to have double vision and my eyes were inflamed. I used the pack on both eyes one hour nightly for 3 nights but the directions called for 4 nights. Well, I got busy and didn't do the 4th night and the symptoms returned until I completed the 4 nights in a row...No more problem at all.

Also, for me the packs are a great pain reliever. I used just the castor oil right on my cheek when I had an infected tooth. Still had to go to a dentist but CO stopped the pain immediately!

Also, used it to remove a wart on my son's toe. Each night applied CO put a sock on him until the wart was gone which was less than a week.

I had Bells palsy symptoms recently after my kid got it and was given steriod course. But my right ear has become very sensitive and hurts. Are there any natural remedies I can try for this ear pain? I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

John Bergman has a youtube video on bells palsy being a twisted nerve...love his teachings. Bless you my friend, Love, Charity

I am in my early 50's and woke up one morning at the end of September with Bell's Palsy. Thought I had A atroke. Urgent care told me It's Bells Palsy. I refused to take the Steroids they gave me.

I have been Juicing Ginger, Celery and Blueberries. All though my face looks normal again it still has not totally gone away, I still do not yet have movement on my right eye brow & upper right lip. I hear Turmeric is also helps, I am going to start adding it to my Natural juicing. I will let you know if it seems to help.

I had bells palsy when I was 7months pregnant with my oldest child. I was told it was a Vit C and folic acid deficiency. That was back in 1978.

I've had Bell's Palsy on one side of my face for over 17 years! My eye still won't shut, I still can not smile. It happened during surgery to remove a brain tumor, so I know it was physical damage. I went for acupuncture twice a week for six months, but it didn't fix it. I've heard good things about certain nerve regenerating essential oils, especially Helichrysum Oil. I just started using it 2 days ago. I'll post again if I see positive results.

I would like to know how you applied the helichrysum oil. (Where and how much) Daily or how many times a day. My daughter recently had a baby and Bells Palsey showed up about 3 weeks prior to birth. I was told this oil would help.

Dear Don J,

I know a little boy who was cured of Bell's Palsy last year with the following:

Vitamin C (best taken to bowel tolerance - just take it by the gram or more and when you begin to get diarrhea, cut back a bit. I think he was taking Liposomal Vitamin C)

Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (I think he took 1 teaspoon 3x a day. An adult dose would be more like 3 Tablespoons three times a day. But you might want to start with teaspoons and work up to Tablespoons)

Turmeric (I think he took 1/4 teaspoon three times a day. An adult dose would be 1 teaspoon three times a day. Best in whole milk with a little pepper. Not the best taste, just the best effect.)

Nutmeg (he held one (maybe part of one) in his cheek on the affected side for hours at a time.)

The way I have been taking vitamin C of late to get a lot at once is this: 1 teaspoon ascorbic acid powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 3 drops stevia, 2 cups water. This gives 5 grams of Vitamin C, or so. I would drink a couple of these a day or more if I were fighting sickness. I think it tastes kind of like Sprite like this. Of course, I rarely drink soda and I am not sure my family agrees with me. :) )

Dave also has a remedy where he used DMSO and Colloidal Silver to cure Bell's Palsy. Here is a link where you can find that information:

Let us know what you try and how it goes!

~Mama to Many~

Yes, I have known many people get this (transient stroke) It's quite common. It will go eventually. I know its scary but the chance of it "recovering" are very high <3 Love Andrea c

Jason, that's so inspiring!

I'm impatient for medical care to catch up to Lyme, toxic mold, and environmental illnesses.

My bells palsy isn't very severe, but I'm trying to heal it as part of the overall picture of how Lyme and living in a toxic apartment for two years have affected me.

Thank you for staying hopeful, and sharing your story with us.

Hi, I had Bell's Palsy in 2013. You are the first person that says that is getting better even though it has been almost 11 years. This is great news! Well it probably doesn't feel like great news to you. I know how frustrating and depressive one can feel after dealing with Bell's Palsy. But I thinks it is great. I was diagnosed with synkinesis caused by Bell's palsy about a year after it happened. I visited 4 different neurologist and they all told me that I would stay like this. I see improvement although minimal. You have giving me hope. I am still searching for the cure. I am going to try DSMO and CS and see what happens. I am also buying the oils that some people mentioned in their comments. I hope to get my smile back as well. Wish you the best!

Ana

In doing research for a friend who recently developed bells palsy, I found an oral mist of colloidal minerals which contains calcium. Google colloidal mineral mist (that is not the brand name).

Massage with coconut oil for the lump.

Seven years ago, I came down with Bells Palsy on the left side of my face. My eye was affected a great deal. I was having great muscle spasms in my left eye and suffering with pain. The doctor started giving me Botox Injections around my eye, every three month. This helps a lot. However, three weeks ago I came down with Bells Palsy on the right side of my face!!! Needless to say, I was shocked. Guess I'll be getting Botox in both eyes... I need my smile back...

Dental problems and Bells!!!! I would have never thought of the connection. I currently have BP for the past 4 weeks now with only a very slight improvement with the top lid of my eye able to move but the bottom lid is still "frozen"). I had dental work done 1 week prior to getting BP, having a tooth "fracture" repaired. (an old filling was cracked/broken and the dentist removed the old one and put a new filling in). I'm not understanding though why I got it as it was repaired?

I'm updating a post where I attributed my bells to my teeth that I had removed.. and had a great deal of success in regaining movement.. my update is surprising. I had a ENT do a CT scan early on in my problem.. prior to the removal of all but the first tooth that was pulled and helped me. The CT scan was misread and I had a broken nose!!! I still have a bone between my nose and gum line that I believe is incorrectly healed. I'm pretty much back to normal and believe the removal of my beautiful teeth on one side helped because I it took off the pressure from the 75% blockage I had that numerous doctors and dentists overlooked that was caused by my blockage in my sinus!!! Double check any dental or sinus problems.. wish I would've . I'm pretty much back to normal but now am dealing with getting dental implants for teeth that should not have been removed!

This is for the person struggling with bells palsy. Have you uses castor oil for this? Right here on earth clinic there is a post that says castor oil cured bells palsy. Just google bells palsy cures on earth clinic and the post should come up. Hope this helps. God bless

bells palsy

does that castor oil jazz stuff work. with well the after effects of bells palsy because i don't have the bells palsy per say i mean my face isn't sliding like it felt like it was in 2008 when i thought having a stroke, my speech was thick and it was hard to talk. now this past year 2009 toward the begining of the fall i had a problem with my right eye, it seemd wider with more white showing when i looked up or down .. and my left eye floaters, one doctor described it as an after shock from the bells palsy

I've had only one personal experience with what I firmly believe was Bell's Palsy. Taking a shower one morning I suddenly realized that the right side of my face was not moving, frozen in place. I first thought of the possibility of stroke but in testing grip strength and leg use found the only affected area was my face.

I thought I remembered what I once read about causation for Bell's and one main thought was it was often virally related. I looked up a website and that memory was confirmed.

With that possibility, I got out my supply of colloidal silver, which can kill viruses and got out my DMSO, a solvent and carrier and soaked a few white paper towels with the combination. My face was still frozen on the right side. I put the soaked paper towels on the right side covering the forehead all the way to the neck and applied pressure with my hand. I kept the pressure on for about ten minutes, almost afraid to take the towels off for fear of seeing my deformed face again in the mirror.

I took off the towels and took a look and smiled to test right side movement. It moved! Back to normal in ten minutes. It never returned.

Notice that I acted quickly. That is what saved the nerves from being damaged by the virus. One writer on this thread said the problem persisted elsewhere on his face. In my opinion, that is the virus still at work. Try the two part combination. Use "white" paper towels. Remember DMSO will absorb anything in its company and go right into the skin.

When I became afflicted with Bells Palsy almost 11 yrs ago, I tried to visit my Dentist. He would not work on me as my mouth barely opened. Moreover, I was told that there'd be no guarantee giving me anesthetic wouldn't cause additional problems. Since then 4 of my teeth have broken. I'd previously been know for my "smile" and it sucks. As I sit typing, my face is throbbing, because the roots of 2 of the teeth on that side remain. At the same time, my face seems to be loosening up. I'm hoping to find another Dentist who is familiar w/Bell's Palsy, and isn't afraid to assist me.

Was checking out different things for facial pain and I found if you locate the sore spot on face, use your index finger and apply pressure to that spot of 2 minutes. It will cause the nerve to relax. Be sure to message your face and use essential oils with creams. Utube Bell's Palsy facial physical therapy.

Shan, around here, any earache is treated by inserting - not deeply! - a wad of cotton with olive oil on it. It usually works pretty quickly for pain and after 48 hours it's pretty much healed. Change the wad every day.

I would like to know where you can buy the oils mentioned in these posts: black seed oil and habbatus oil, sauda oil, and kalongi oil for bells palsy treatment.

I got BP same week you did. It was long six months until l was able to pretend to smile..because it still doesn't feel natural. My eye still bothers me..how are you doing? All gone? Pain?

Need to know if any ayurvedic treatment are available for Bells Palsy?

Dear Rajeshvar,

I believe that Turmeric would be considered ayurvedic ? It is anti-inflammatory. Try 1 teaspoon three times a day. At the same time, if you will take one Tablespoon of extra virgin coconut oil, it will help the turmeric to work better and it has anti-viral properties.

Vitamin C would be important, too. If you can take it to bowel tolerance (take as much as you can without it giving you diarrhea) that would be ideal. You can start with 500mg every couple of hours.

Please also see this page at Earth Clinic, where Dave explains how to use DMSO and colloidal silver for Bell's Palsy.

https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/colloidal-silver-blue-man-or-miracle-supplement.html

I hope you find relief soon.

~Mama to Many~

Hi, with the collodial silver and dmso did you rub it into your skin or did you take it orally? I have had bells palsy for 10 months now and I still cant smile or lift my left eyebro I have had a little recovery I have tried physiotherapy and accupunture. I'm desperate now. I'm fearing I will not recover anymore :(

Hello Mtui036,

About the application of the DMSO/Colloidal silver mix...it is applied on the surface of the skin ...surface of side of face the Bells Palsey has affected. Sorry I didn't make that plain. The DMSO is a solvent and penetrant and will carry the CS into the skin and along the nerve where the virus is causing the paralysis. As I said in my previous post, I had this condition a number of years ago and used the method I described. Use a white paper towel. Not a colored paper towel because the DMSO would carry the dye of the paper towel.

Hi Dave, can I email you about the dsmo please your knowledge will be greatly appreciated. I have been spraying colloidal silver on my face it has been causing my left side the affected side to twitch but no improvement and I would like to use the dsmo but I'm a bit scared and don't know how much I should use or where to get it from. Your help would mean a lot! Thanks

Hello Mtui 036,

If the CS is causing ANY side effects...you say twitching on your face where you applied the CS topically....then don't use it. Something might be wrong with the CS.

I've never heard of a twitching reaction to CS and that is why I say, if this were me, I'd question the quality of the CS. When I've used my CS topically on occasions when I want to get the CS down into the skin, I mix the CS 50/50 with DMSO. I get the DMSO on line from Dr. Jacobs/ DMSO. I apply with a white cloth or white paper towel. (Oh, I just read a recent Contributing writer to Earth Clinic...Mama to Many...say that some bad chemicals might be left in even white paper towels! )

You can read about the use of DMSO by googling, "DMSO 60 minutes Dr Jacobs youtube" and find a wonderful interview and analysis of DMSO.

I'm intrigued by what CS you are using. Is it a cream? I don't use CS in a cream. Not that I wouldn't but I just have no experience there.

Hello, 4 year ago I suffered from facial palsy... And now my mouth is traction one side.... if there is any solution for such contact me as soon as possible.

You can google and read about habbatus sawda, kalonji oil, black seed.

I'm am not sure if its available in the Philippines as it originated from the middle east but I am sure you can buy it online.

Try Accupressure & craniosacral too as in my son case he could feel his cheek with his tongue after the 1st treatment, but this could be due to his age. Maybe Mr. Ted can help us out here

Where will I get habbatus oil?

What can I use to relieve pains without using painkillers cause I'm pregnant? Please help.

I would like to ask or to know if there is a chance to be back into normal for my bell's palsy? I have suffered almost 38 years....

I hope this might be some help to you - I own a copy of this book, and have often found its information helpful. He is saying that if the right side is the afflicted side, you might want to try cutting way down on your sodium intake, and eat more high-potassium foods, switch from ordinary salt (sodium chloride) to potassium salt (here in the US sold as "No Salt"). If the left side is the afflicted side, perhaps increase sodium intake.

"When a stroke affects the right side, it is usually due to blood clotting related to a lack of Potassium. Bell's Palsy on the right side is usually a Potassium deficiency affecting the muscles of the face and body on the right side (left side of the body is influenced by the Sodium level).

Excerpted from Page 71 The Ultimate Healing System, Donald Lepore, N.D.

There is a heap of information about currently having symptoms Bell's Palsy and various options for treatment, but it is rare to find any articles about the lingering effects of Bell's Palsy in the years after the initial damage has been done.

I developed Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) many years after the damage was done by the Bell's Palsy. The pain that comes with TN is awful. I only found out about the connection between Bell's Palsy and TN after extensive internet search.

I am now taking medication to reduce the risks of flare-ups, and acupuncture helps as well.

Hi Jeni, I'm a member of a TN support group and although I myself haven't suffered from Bell's Palsy I know that some people on my group have. You may want to check the TN website on www.livingwithtn.org; enter "Bell's Palsy" into the search window. Take care, Oldriska

P.S. I have atypical TN and I also find acupuncture helpful.

How many days did you ingest turmeric for?

I have a capsule filling machine we got from ebay for about $25. It has saved us from the nasty drinks...with everything we must ingest in powder form. One bit of advise with it...blow it out with your hair drier between fillings to keep it running smoothly or the capsules get stuck.

My other bit of the story is essential oils. They heal from the inside out and permantly. I'm using Idaho Tansy right now and I'm feeling some relief already at 3 days.

Dear Faz, Could you tell me where you went for accupressure & Craniascaral treatment? I have an Aunt with Bell's Palsy in Kuala lumpur. Could you also tell me where you bought the Blackseed Oil, Habbatus Sauda, Kalonji Oil. Best regards, Bee

Craniasacral: you can google Khema Yen, Craniasacral and it should provide you with her blog and there is a contact no. I believe she is a Science graduate who venture into Craniasacral to help people. She is a gentle lady and work well with children.

Habbatus Sawda@Kalonji oil@black seed oil: bought it from the pharmacy Pure Aid.

Hope this will help your Aunty

HI FAZ,

I am so helpless here. I have bell palsy six weeks ago with no sign of improvement. I went to acupuncture and result still the same. Could you please advise what should we do with black seed oil and give me more insights? Thanks.

Where to buy black seed oil n habbatus sauda oil? Tq

Isn't black seed oil the same as habbatus Sauda oil?

I've had bells palsy since 11/04/11. I took the steroids and antivirals right away. After six weeks with no improvement I started acupuncture. Ten sessions later I still have no improvement. I'm also taking vitamins B1, B6, and B12 and massaging with castor oil daily. It's been over two months now with no signs of improvement. I can manage the inconvenience of hearing sensitivity, drinking with a straw, and looking like two face from batman. However, I can't stand the eye pain. Severe dry eye is like cutting open an onion and just living with the burning pain all day long. Life sucks.

I just got bells palsy again, well I mean again as in I had it for 7 years and about 1 week ago it came back and it's worse than before. I took medicine which never worked and now I am just dealing with all the same stuff as I did before. I hear people do the acupuncture but I am unsure it will work for me. I am looking into surgery to fix this problem- anyone else heard of this procedure?

Wondering why you would do surgery before trying acupuncture?

Hello... I have been helping people with homeopathic remedies for over 30 years... It always amazes me the incrediable power of the correct remedy... the problem is that it is very difficult sometimes to figure out the correct remedy.

If you can help with this condition I have a friend who has it that lives close to West Chicago let me know he can contact you.

Bell's Palsy is linked with Lyme Disease, just as your facial pain, TMJ and other dental issues. There are over 365 symptoms associated with Lyme. This website lists many of them: http://www.seranogroup.org//serano_docs/symptom_list_by_group.pdf

I suggest you get to a LLMD (Lyme Literate MD) and have yourself worked up for Lyme. It can be helped and thus your palsy can be resolved. Check out ilads.org for LLMD

My husband's Bells Palsy is linked to shingles. I don't think there is just one cause.

Jasonmchicago - If you have TMJ, why not have your dentist give you a mouth appliance? They are around $50-$100 (or they were back in the 90's). Also, I saw a post on EC about drinking 1/2 tsp. sea salt in a glass of water a day to cure Lyme's. Search for it.

Wow! One session is a dream come true. I had a similar situation- walked out of the ER (thought I had had a stroke) with no answers or solutions and went (literally) straight to the acupuncturist. She told me she would get my face moving again in about 10 sessions and she definitely did. After session 10, I got home and the corner of my mouth was moving ever so slightly and when I woke up the next morning, 80% of the movement in my face came back. Make sure to find an acupuncturist who specializes in neurological disorders and good luck!!

I just passed by Bells Palsy page here to get some information for my son... For I had been a patient of this condition... For I am looking for some natural remedy.... My first time was when I was seven and then I was treated with electric shock waves for it was so shocking that I became a shy kid...

Next was when I was a teenager and treated with old fashion grandman home herbals hot steams remedy covering my whole face for some time then going to bed without letting no cold breeze hit you....

Third it was in NYC around the age of thirty or less cannot recall, I was panic, and went to one hospital then to another.. Visiting three hospital with no results.... Just stating that, "The same way it came it will go away".

To all out there that believe this... It is not true.... You can permanently stay like that.... I was real frighten...

An angel put a lady telling to go to a chiropratric..... I faithfully did go.... Starting every day for two weeks then three time a week and in a month my face was back to normal.... For I am thankfull.... But this condition can come for diffrent reasons.

My son's palsy is from an ear infection.... It can come from stress... My palsy came from drastic temperature body from heat to cold or viceversa which in spanish is called un Pasmo..... I advise whoever suffer from this Bell's Palsy to take immediate action for it can become permantly no matter who saids differently.

My experience is that you are correct. I became afflicted in Aug 2005. I didn't go seek medical attention that day. Once I did, I was told I had a Stroke (which I did 7 mos later on my Birthday). It was confirmed it wasn't a Stroke, but Bell's Palsy. At that time, there wasn't a lot of info out on it. I, too, was told it'd go away. After seeing 6 Neurologists, I was given a prognosis of being healed w/in 12-24mos. Of course, this was being told, "the same way it came, it will disappear." Well, it's almost 11 yrs later and it's getting better, but hasn't left "the same way as it came."

I continue to be hopeful that I'll be able to have my "smile" returned.

Ana, me too been with BP for 2.5 years ...feels like forever. I look like it is almost gone ( that's what l have been told, but true??) though l feel it all the time, and it is all l see in the mirror. Lipstick, eyeliner are out, and laughing is embarrassing with out covering my mouth. I hate talking pictures and the worse is my eye twitch when l eat. So did any of these stuff helped? I will try it too and actually have an appointment with neurologist..not that l think there is a magic wand out there.

Hi Can you please update if DMSO and CS helped after all these years? Thanks

I've had the Bell's Palsy symptoms on the left side of my face for over a year now. I have regained about 70% of my movement back, but for some reason it moved to the right side. It hasnt completely taken over, but it is definetly there! I am very interested in this calcium oral srpay. I've looked at vitiman shops, local drug store and can't find it! Please tell me where I can find this product.

Im 17 and I had Bell's palsy about 4 and a half years ago. The left side of my face was the affected area. It took around 3-4 months to recover but I still have a twitch in my left eye and it is still itchy and sore.

Hi, What kind of oral spray calcium should I get and where can I get it from. Please reply to me asap as I was diagnosed 2 days ago. Please call me at 214-263-4483 or email me at ultimatewireless1020(at)gmail.com Thanks!

I am 5 days into my battle with Bells and would like more information where to get this calcium spray... I too have searched online but many of the sprays contain many more ingredients than just the calcium... Please reply to me via email erb_rahenkamp(at)yahoo.com or you can call me too at 562-225-3738... Thank you

I've been looking for this as well. Can't seem to find it though. I was wondering, I've had it for 3 weeks now... Would it still be effective? Please let me know asap. Email: lvx09(at)yahoo.com I'd appreciate it much! Thanks!

I have had bells palsy for 3 months. Is this curable by oral spray calcium? Which brand of spray needs to be used? Do we need to spray on the cheeks?

Where to get and what brand of calcium spray?

Will this help if you have severe Bells Palsy for over 10 years? Where do I get the spray and what potency is required?

Hi, I had Bells Palsy twice, once when I was 9 months old and again when I was 6. It went away, but left my right side of my mouth a little turned down, my eye smaller than my left.

I am now 52 and have had times, especially when stressed or tired, that I have a lump next to my mouth, below my cheek. Lately in social situations, when drinking some wine and being tired, people ask me what is wrong. I am wishing to do something about it and trying to see if minor plastic surgery will help. I am nervous that it might cause more nerve damage. My face is extremely puffy, especially on my right side. Does anyone have this problem with one spot and have ideas to deal with it? I try to do the BP exercises, but seem to notice my face getting more heavy and my ear full.

Hello. I had bell's palsy when I was 15. The whole right side of my face drooped as if I had a stroke. I couldn't eat or drink without stuff falling out of my mouth because I only had control of half of it. My right eyelid sagged so low that I could barely see out of it.

My dad took me to a clinic that gave me an I.V. Drip of something that made it go away after about 4 treatments. (I was afraid to ask what it was because I'm terrified of needles, sorry! ) However, I'm 26 now and it left some nerves damaged, or they grew back incorrectly, because whenever I smile, my right eye closes involuntarily. Does anyone know how to reverse nerve damage from bell's palsy?

When I was 6 years old, I had Bells palsy. My mother took me to a chiropractor and it cleared up. I am now 51 with no reoccurences. Hope this helps.

I think you are correct. My son has had what i think is an impacted tooth. He's been holding off on going to the dentist because cause no insurance right now. He's had a lot of pain around his ear and now his top lip is crooked and he cannot pucker. I think this is Bells Palsy. Can someone comment on this?

This is dangerous. You need to do something for that inflammation ASAP! He could develop cellulitis in his jaw area. He could get an abscess. This is all bad. He may end up in the E.R. scheduled for surgery while waiting on dental insurance.

Get some clove oil and put it on a cotton ball around the impaced tooth for starters. It is very good at taking down infection.

He should also take 1/2 tsp 3 to 4 times daily of colloidal silver mixed in a little juice or water.

Just jumping in on this topic, so someone may have already suggested, but try oil pulling, in my home my husband uses olive oil, my son uses sesame oil, I prefer coconut oil. Not sure it will help the Bells Palsey, but it a miracle for dental problems. Do a search here EC website on "oil pulling" for all the specifics.

Bells Palsy: On the day after I returned from Cyprus, I woke up with it. It felt like a cheap soap had tightened my skin, but on the muscles on my face. I couldn`t move the right side of my face, like someone had drawn a line down my nose and from then on, nothing! I went to the base doctor, and was told I had bells palsy...that they did not know the cause, and there was no cure for it. My life took a drastic change for obvious social reasons. I guess I spent about the next three or so years without being very social at all. It did a lot to my self image for sure. Many years later on tv, I saw a lady that had the same thing. One thing to remember about this for those that have it....

Today, though I never got any cure, and years later it became less severe, I have discovered the lack of wrinkles over the entire right side of my face, which seems to confuse people in judging my age! I read a little on your site which I`ll read more of later, but I just wanted to get this off my chest. Today I still have no actual cause or cure, and my right eye tends to water when food has a strong flavour. Best regards, David.

Oh boy!! Tell me about living with bell's palsy. I have been suffering from it for 2 years now and it has affected both sides of my face terribly. My neurologist says there is no cure and it will resolve on its own. Needless to say I have a non-existing social life because not only has my face been damage too but my speech. It is very hard for me to communicate since I do not have good muscle movement on both sides. Also eating out in public is such a chore that i' rather just sit home and eat alone.

I am alternative medicine student and have a friend that is suffering from this very condition right now, my professor is an acupuncturist and told me that acupuncture works in curing these types of conditions. The longer you have had it the more sessions it will take to get the nerves to work again but it does work. I was told a deficiency usually plays a role in getting this condition. Its definitely worth a try and acupuncture is very inexpensive

My mother was diagnosed with bells palsy a week ago.She is very depressed and has been given an anti inflamatory and a very expensive virus medication to take for 7 days. I am interested to know what the deficiency you mentioned is? I will take her to a acupunturist in the meantime.

When I was about 6 years old (over 40 years ago), I had Bells Palsy. My mother took me to a chiroprator for a few sessions and I was cured.

Hello i've had this affliction going on 7 months now and would really like to get rid of this crap. Please email me back with the directions on how to make and apply this castor oil pack.

I would also like to know how to prepare the castor oil pack

I have Bell's Palsy, I am 26 years old. I got it when I was 20 and pregnant 9 months. Its been nearly 6 years now I still have it and about 2 Years ago I had 5 teeth removed. I am currently gonna more removed it causes pain in my face and it swells up really bad. I dont no if anyone has a solution and either has had same problems as me!

Sounds like you have bells palsy related to Lyme disease, not herpes like most. Look into it.
