How to Ease Dry Mouth

Many people suffer from chronic dry mouth which is also known as cotton mouth. Dry mouth can be caused by certain medications and diseases. If you suffer from chronic dry mouth, see your doctor to determine the underlying cause. There are some things you can do to ease your cotton mouth.

Instructions

1

Take coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 will help to improve circulation which will help to promote saliva production. Coenzyme Q10 is available at health food stores and natural pharmacies.

2

Use Aloe. Apply fresh Aloe to your gums and inside walls of your cheeks to promote moisture inside of your mouth. The Aloe will also soothe any cracks or sores in your mouth associated with a dry mouth.

3

Rinse your mouth with Goldenseal Tea. Brew a cup of Goldenseal Tea and add 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Allow the Goldenseal Tea to cool completely and then rinse your mouth twice per day.

4

Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and sports drinks such as Gatorade and Powerade. It may seem like common sense, but many times the cause of dry mouth or cotton mouth is dehydration. To maintain proper hydration 8 to 10 glasses of water should be consumed daily. Do not rely on coffee or alcoholic drinks, they will both dehydrate your body.
