Natural Remedies for Hemifacial Spasm

Hemifacial spasm is a neurological condition characterized by involuntary twitching or contractions of muscles on one side of the face. It is typically caused by irritation or compression of the facial nerve, often due to a nearby blood vessel or, in rare cases, a tumor or nerve damage. While medical treatments such as Botox injections and surgery are available, some individuals seek natural remedies to reduce symptoms and support nervous system health.

1. Magnesium

Magnesium is essential for nerve transmission and muscle relaxation. Deficiency can lead to muscle twitching and spasms.

• How to Use: Try magnesium glycinate or citrate (200–400 mg daily), or apply magnesium oil topically to the jaw and neck area.

2. B Vitamins (Especially B12 and B6)

B vitamins support nerve function and repair. B12 deficiency in particular has been linked to facial nerve issues.
