Current treatments, while costly and cause side effects, are not completely effective. So far, no comprehensive research has been conducted that can examine the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this disease in the text of Iranian medicine. Therefore, the aim of this study is to introduce Iranian medicine strategies for rehabilitation and reduction of complications in potential patients.
Materials and Methods: The present article is a descriptive review study that is a library method with reference to the authentic books of traditional Iranian medicine from the third to the fourteenth century AH, comprehensive library of Noor medicinal software, and search bell palsy's keyword among the researches that has been done using Scopus, PUP MED, SID and so the like search engines.
