My eye and mouth on one side twitch involuntarily (Hemifacial spasm).

It is different from Bell's palsy. It is a phenomenon where abnormal electrical discharges (a short circuit) occur due to a nerve being compressed by a blood vessel. Unlike eyelid twitching caused by magnesium deficiency, the entire half of the face contracts. Since it worsens with stress, nerve stabilization treatment is necessary.

남들의 시선이 신경 쓰여 눈을 마주치기 어려우신가요?

  • 감별: 마그네슘 부족은 며칠 휴식하면 호전되지만, 안면 경련은 시간이 갈수록 증상이 심해지고 범위가 넓어지는 특징이 있습니다.
  • 한방: 뇌의 흥분을 가라앉히는 약침과 한약(억간산) 처방을 통해 경련 빈도를 낮춥니다.
  • 수술: 약물 치료로 호전되지 않을 경우, 신경과 혈관을 분리하는 감압술을 고려해야 합니다.
💡 선글라스 활용

증상이 심할 때 선글라스나 마스크로 가려주면 심리적인 안정감을 얻어 경련이 완화될 수 있습니다.
