What Is Bell's Palsy?
7. Exercises to Ease Effects of Bell’s Palsy
To restore some of the functions of the facial nerve, some exercises are recommended. These include a facial workout. To do it, sit and relax in front of a mirror. Try to raise your eyebrows using the fingers if necessary. Secondly, pull the eyebrows together and frown, then try to wrinkle the nose, take a deep breath, and flare the nostrils.
For the mouth, try to move the corners outward. Then try to put a smile on your face by pulling one side of the mouth up, then the other side. You can start by using your fingers but afterward, try to smile again without using them. For the eyes, try to keep your head still and look down using only your eyes. Put your index finger on the eyelid to keep it closed. In order to prevent stiffness, pull the eyebrow using the other hand and massage the eyebrow line.
