About Facial Tics

Facial tics are frequently associated with conditions such as Tourette’s Syndrome, and are a common ailment in many children.

They can manifest in many different ways: a facial tics can appear as repetitive and excessive blinking, or habitual squinting of the eyes. Also experienced can be tics that affect the mouth, wrinkling of the nose and other symptoms such as repeated grunting and clearing of the throat.
Facial tics come and go – some last only a short time – and can change across time, another symptom of them being associated with more serious conditions.

Drugs and side effects
Popular ways to treat the causes of facial tics involve prescription drugs, but these can come with a number of known side effects. Nausea and vomiting can be a result, as can feelings of depression and anxiety, and in some cases mood swings and uncharacteristic violent behaviour can result from the effect of drugs.

In many cases the drug affects the patient in such away that the facial tics become worse, a situation that can be difficult for young children to cope with and understand.

The root of the problem
There are natural ways of treating and eliminating the embarrassing and unpleasant presence of facial tics, and the first step is to discover the source of the problem in order to treat it correctly.

It could be that the child is anxious about certain facets of his or her life, or that an illness has not been diagnosed, one that could be responsible for the facial tic. In either case it is vital that the root cause is uncovered, as only then can treatment to eliminate the problem begin.

Facial tics can be treated effectively and with quick and great success without the need for potentially harmful prescription drugs.
