Treating Bell's Palsy with a Novel Acupoint Protocol

The treatment of a patient with Bell's palsy using the three-minute novel acupoint protocol, which activates the traditional twelve meridian channels simultaneously, is presented. Using this protocol - "Reinforcing Yang to Nourish Yin," developed by Dr. Hong - the patient experienced full recovery after only two consecutive treatments, and expressed high satisfaction with the outcome. In addition to introducing this acupoint protocol, which has also been successfully applied in the treatment of acute and chronic cough, low back pain, irregular menstruation, stroke, and cancer-related pain, the paper also discusses concepts such as Pattern differentiation, Qi deficiency, Earthing, and Circadian Rhythms to help acupuncture practitioners understand how these principles can be integrated into clinical practice.
