Managing Bell's Palsy involves more than just medical treatment; lifestyle adjustments and self-care strategies play a vital role in recovery. Patients are advised to perform facial exercises to maintain muscle tone and prevent permanent muscle contractures. Protecting the eye on the affected side from dryness and injury, especially if the eyelid cannot close, is critical.
Stress management techniques such as meditation and yoga can be beneficial, as stress may exacerbate symptoms. Nutrition also plays a role; a diet rich in vitamins B6 and B12, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids can support nerve health. These wellness tips, alongside treatments like laser therapy, can significantly enhance recovery outcomes for Bell's Palsy patients.
