Easy Treatments For Dry Mouth

Trusted Health Products

A very common issue associated with age, medication and hydration is dry mouth. It can be hard to combat depending on the severity and the factors that contribute to it. For some, taking a sip of water can cure their dry mouth, for others, the reason for their mouth dryness comes from deeper issues. If you are suffering from this common annoyance, here are some easy treatments that you can do at home that are also completely safe and natural.

Increase Water Intake

One of the most prevalent causes of dry mouth is dehydration. When you consume enough water throughout the day, your body will be able to produce the normal amount of healthy fluids, one of which is saliva. Sometimes the standard eight glasses a day isn't sufficient. Drinking at least half of your body weight in ounces is a more accurate recommendation. You should also eat many different water-based fruits and vegetables throughout the day.

Cayenne Pepper

This may seem counterintuitive to some. After all, wouldn't spicy foods be the opposite of what you would want to consume if you were having a problem with dry mouth? Wouldn't that in fact make the state of your mouth drier? Actually no, it's the exact opposite. Cayenne pepper stimulates the production of saliva, which makes it one of the most effective remedies for dry mouth. It is also said to improve the state of your taste buds which makes it easier to distinguish certain tastes. Try adding a sprinkle to your dishes to promote your saliva glands.

Fennel Seeds

The reason that these specific types of seeds are so effective in helping with dry mouth is because they contain flavonoids that naturally increase the production of saliva in the mouth. So if you are used to munching on sunflower seeds or nuts, this is an easy substitute that will also help to aid your dry mouth. You can munch on them several times a day to help treat the dryness in your mouth. Try roasting them in a pan and add a little bit of salt to taste.

Oil Pulling

Oil pulling is a very popular, ancient practice that has a numerous amount of benefits associated with it. It can help keep your mouth moist, kill bacteria that leads to bad breath and mouth sores, and also help to whiten teeth. There are a few different types of oil that can be used for this practice; most choose from coconut oil, sesame oil or avocado oil. Put a tablespoon of the oil into your mouth and swish it around for 15 to 30 seconds. Spit out the oil and then rinse out your mouth with warm water. This helps to provide your mouth with adequate saliva production.

Aloe Vera

One of the most versatile natural entities is aloe vera. It's pure gel form can be used in many different ways. Often used for bad sunburns, it can treat the occurrence of dry mouth by enhancing the taste buds - which also protects and activates the sensitive tissue in the mouth. You can drink aloe vera juice, which is found in health food stores, a few times a day.
