In traditional Chinese medicine, dry mouth is called "yin deficiency". People are divided into yin and yang, yang represents the body's functions, and yin represents the fluids in the body, including blood, saliva, tears, endocrine and semen. If the yin is insufficient, dry mouth, dry nose and dry skin will occur. In this situation, simply drinking more water will not help. You must start with nourishing yin in order to nourish the whole body.

On the other hand, yin and yang require balance. If the body is hot and the yang fire rises, the yin will be relatively insufficient.

The treatment method must first clear away heat and reduce yang fire, and then nourish yin.
