What should I do if I have dry mouth, bitter taste and bad breath

Dry mouth, bitter taste and bad breath are mostly caused by excessive moisture in the body and inflammation. To treat such symptoms, you can use the following relatively simple methods, which are effective and harmless to the body.

3 ways to prevent and treat dry mouth

1. Lotus seed core water can prevent and treat dry mouth and tongue: Brew lotus seed core with boiling water, not too strong or too weak. Drink it two or three times a day to prevent dry mouth and tongue, rising internal heat, sore and itchy throat, hoarseness, and drowsiness. It can also treat cough.

2. Eat wolfberry to treat night sleep syndrome: Eat 30 grams of wolfberry every night. The more chewed it is, the better. Keep doing it. However, it should be pointed out that elderly people with long-term dry mouth should be further examined. For example, some people with cancer may also have dry mouth, so please do not take it lightly. In addition, for people with diabetes or the elderly who feel dry mouth due to decreased body fluid secretion, especially at night, you can wash the wolfberry and keep it ready. When needed, take one grain and hold it on the center of the tongue. After a few seconds, body fluid will be produced from the root of the tongue, relieving the thirst in the mouth. Hold it in your mouth before going to bed and you don't need to drink water all night.

3. Honey and rice vinegar treat dry throat and sore tongue: Take it once in the morning and evening every day, 1 spoon of honey and 2 spoons of rice vinegar each time, add a large cup of boiled water, drink it for a few months and your condition will get better. At the same time, abnormal bowel movements can also be restored to normal.

Bad breath is often called halitosis. Halitosis (also called "bad breath") is the unpleasant breath that emanates from the mouth and annoys others and embarrasses oneself. Don’t underestimate this minor problem of bad breath. It will make people (especially young people) afraid to interact with others at close range, thus causing inferiority complex, affecting normal interpersonal and emotional communication, and causing great distress.

Some people have severe bad breath and can smell their own bad breath; while some people only know they have bad breath through the reactions of others. How to test your breath yourself: Put your left and right palms together and make them into a closed bowl shape, covering your mouth and nose. Then exhale into your palms and then inhale through your nose. You can smell how your mouth smells.
