TCM diagnosis is a process of identifying a patient's underlying pattern of disharmony through methods like observation, questioning, tongue diagnosis, and pulse diagnosis. Practitioners analyze a person's symptoms, emotional state, and physical characteristics to determine imbalances in the body's vital substances (like Qi and blood) and functions, which is the foundation for treatment plans involving herbs, acupuncture, and other therapies.

Acupuncture is a widely used and effective complementary treatment for facial paralysis (like Bell's Palsy), helping to reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, relieve pain, and promote facial nerve function recovery by stimulating nerve regeneration and muscle movement, with studies showing significant improvement rates, especially when started early. It works by exciting facial nerves, boosting circulation, and delivering nutrients, aiding in the absorption of swelling and accelerating healing, making it a safe, natural way to restore symmetry and movement alongside other therapies.
Treatment protocol: Generally, treatment is administered every other day or three times a week, with 10 treatments constituting one course. Most patients require 2-3 courses. The treatment interval can be extended during the recovery period.
1. Mild cases: Initial improvement can be seen in 1-2 weeks, with basic recovery within 1 month.
2. Moderate cases: Gradual recovery takes 1-3 months, and slight synkinesis may remain (such as twitching of the corner of the mouth when blinking).
3. Severe cases: Those who have not fully recovered after more than 3 months may require long-term treatment, and a few may have sequelae.

Acupuncture can support weight loss by addressing root causes like stress, appetite, and metabolism, often reducing cravings and promoting digestion, but research shows it's most effective alongside diet and exercise, not as a standalone fix. It works by influencing hormones (ghrelin, leptin, cortisol), boosting metabolism, reducing stress-eating, and improving gut function, with specific points (like ear points or Stomach 36) used to balance the body's systems for healthier weight management.

I have been visiting dr. Guo for a year taking her herbs and taking acupuncture from her.
She helped huge in reducing my knee pains and shoulder pains and reduced my overall sugar levels and improved circulations in my feet and legs reducing neuropathy and associated pains.
Her herbs also were very effective in reduction of my stress related challenges!
Thank you so much dr Guo for your big help.
Very grateful patient
