It is understood that facial paralysis is facial nerve paralysis, commonly known as "crooked mouth", "crooked mouth", "facial neuritis", "crooked mouth wind", etc., which is a common and frequently occurring disease characterized by the movement dysfunction of facial expression muscle group, with the general symptoms of mouth and eye crooked and not limited by age. After the disease, the patient's face is often difficult to complete the most basic actions such as eyebrow raising, eyes closing, mouth bulging, etc. According to relevant doctors, when the face is blown by the wind or for a long time, it will lead to the contraction of blood vessels, the blockage of meridians and even ischemia in the local area of the human body after getting cold. In addition, due to the hot weather and frequent alternation of heat and cold, it will cause facial nerve paralysis, which is called peripheral facial paralysis in medicine.
Don't blow your face to blow your feet, will you?
Every summer, there are many cases of nerve paralysis caused by long-term direct fan blowing in our country, so some people have the question, "I don't blow my face, but I can blow my feet instead."?
After consulting relevant professionals, traditional Chinese medicine believes that the foot is the second heart of the human body and a key area for health care and health preservation. A cold foot can cause many diseases, so we must pay attention to the warmth of the foot. The temperature of the feet should be controlled at about 30 degrees. In addition, the five meridians of the human body all follow the feet, and some important acupoints are distributed on the feet, which affect the five viscera and six Fu organs. Once the foot is cold, it can reflexively cause the capillary constriction of respiratory mucosa, resulting in the decrease of local blood flow and disease resistance, so it is easy to cause upper respiratory tract infection and even other diseases. Therefore, we must ensure the temperature of our feet, and appropriately conduct some healthy small behaviors for our feet, such as: soaking feet in warm water in summer, pressing and pinching the soles of our feet, stimulating the acupoints on the soles of our feet, etc.
In this case, what should we pay attention to when we use the electric fan?
Pay attention to the use of electric fan
1. Don't blow the hair immediately after taking a bath. After taking a bath, the blood circulation of human body will speed up and the pores will be dilated. If the cold air blows directly, the body will be prone to shoulder pain, joint pain, dizziness, headache, cold, anorexia and other symptoms.

2. It is not suitable to blow the fan directly on the head when sleeping. The upper body of the human body is sleeping with a fan for a long time, and it is easy to get sore all over after waking up, which actually belongs to a kind of 'fan disease'. In serious cases, it is more likely to cause a stroke. Therefore, when sleeping with an electric fan, you should try to set the electric fan to shake your head;
3. The electric fan is best placed 2 meters away from the human body. Too close blowing will make the difference between blood circulation and sweat circulation larger, and the nerve center will lose balance, which will cause discomfort to the human body. Therefore, the best position of the electric fan should be 2 meters below the slant of the human body's lower leg, and the wind can be adjusted gently.
Summary of the full text: the common electric fans used to have such knowledge and potential safety risks. Now we are going into the hot summer, and the frequency of the use of the electric fans will reach the peak. When we use the electric fans, we should also pay attention to the safety of use, so as to avoid causing physical discomfort.
