As most of you know I had come down with Bells Palsey at the end of last year. http://www2.***boat.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62703&page=1&pp=25 They said it is stress related. Well with the move it caused undo stress and two days ago I started to get symptoms of Bells again. This time I desided to head it off as quick as possible. I went and saw a neroligist and had some tests done to see what is really causing this. Have not heard anything but symptoms are progresing.
I have heard that some alternative medicine works on this also. If anyone can direct me on this I would be greatfull.
Thank you
Jim

Bells Palsy Herbal Support Program
25ml Bottle of Oil to be applied externally twice daily $18.50
Bells Palsy used to be called 'Engine Drivers Disease'
The reason for this is that the driver of the old steam trains would spend a lot of time with one side of their face outside the cabin window, most often in a stream of cold air and Bells Palsy resulted when their facial nerve on that side was chilled and damaged by this practice.
Often it would only happen when the person was otherwise affected by an illness, temperature or infection of some sort and the nerve normally recovered spontaneously. However, repeated instances could permanently damage the nerve and affect control of facial muscles in the same way that a stroke may.
The facial nerve runs down the side of the face in the bones of the skull, just in front of the ear and when this was chilled or affected by inflammation or damage, the muscles that control facial muscles on that side would collapse, and the patient would have difficulty using the muscles of the lips, eyes and face generally.
There is no successful medical treatment for Bells Palsy which I am aware of. However, the herb Hypericum used as an oil to be rubbed along the face over the nerve as well as being included in an internal mix in extract form is very effective indeed.
The mix I make up to support patients presenting with Bells Palsy contains herbal extracts of Hypericum, Comfrey, Equisetum and Saw Palmetto with Rescue Remedy. This is taken internally 3 times daily as prescribed.
For external application I provide 25ml of Hypericum Oil to which is also added the Bach Flower Rescue Remedy.
This program will speedily resolve a case of Bells Palsy and follow-up use over a few months should reduce the likelihood of another attack.

You have several options with alternative care. Im a Sports Chiropractor and I treat mostly professional and amateur athletes. I have treated some patients with Bell's. The majority of the cranial nerves come from the area of the brain stem that can be affected by the upper cervical vertebrae. The acoustic nerve and the facial nerve.
I have had good success with Bells Palsy but each case is different.
You can try accupuncture also. They have been known to help also. Just make sure you get a good referral. If theres anything I can do help, let me know.
Good Luck
