Phlegm Stagnation: Symptoms include heaviness in the limbs, a feeling of fogginess in the head, and difficulty concentrating.
Blood Stasis: This can manifest as sharp pain, dark spots on the skin, or a feeling of tightness in the chest.
Kidney Deficiency: Symptoms include lower back pain, fatigue, and a general feeling of weakness.
​
TCM Patterns for Bell's Palsy:
Wind-Heat Invasion: Sudden onset of symptoms, often accompanied by fever or a feeling of heat.
Wind-Cold Invasion: Sudden onset of symptoms with a sensation of cold, stiffness, and limited movement.
Liver Qi Stagnation: Symptoms such as stress, emotional tension, and irritability.
Spleen Qi Deficiency: Symptoms include fatigue, digestive issues, and a general feeling of sluggishness.
