Abstract
Bell’s palsy can be considered as one of the most resistant and idiopathic neuromuscular facial diseases. It has not any specific effective treatments up to date in 2021. The aim of this article is to introduce this new Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) which has the major objective of determining the proposed favorable positive effects and outcomes of integrating the triple herbal mixture of the black seed, licorice, and turmeric (In secure adequate doses) with the standard treatment (The standard of care) on the recovery of Bell’s palsy patients. The anticipated findings of this study are the faster recovery and enhanced nerve regeneration in Bell’s palsy patients taking appropriate doses of the black seed, licorice, and turmeric supplements within the treatment protocols.
