Scott- In 1992 I had Bell's Palsy, and my entire left side of my face was paralysed. I was so ugly I cried for days. A friend recommended acupuncture. I had 3 treatments and the palsy began to recede. I actually believe it helped me to not have as many residual problems as I would have had without it. I think you should go for it. I don't know about the herbs, though. You'll have to consult a nutritionist for that. Why not write Kathrynne Holden for an answer. Best to you.
