Treating Bells Palsy with Chinese Medicine

According to the National Institute of Health*, about 1 in 60 individuals will get Bells palsy, and it “is the most common paralysis of the seventh cranial nerve.”* Acupuncture and herbs can be very useful in treating this condition. This course will look at Bells palsy, from both a biomedical and Chinese medical point of view. We will discuss real world approaches to diagnosing and treating this common condition. There is a lot more information and approaches to this condition in the last decade or two. Please join us as this is a important and practical course for any modern practice.

This course will be a live webinar on Sunday, June 14 and November 8, 2026 from 1-3pm pst/pdt.
