10 Home Remedies For Dry Mouth
Home Remedy #3: Avoiding Alcohol
Alcohol is an organic compound and originally refers to ethanol. It is the main alcohol present in alcoholic beverages. Alcohol reduces the production of the anti-diuretic hormone, which functions to reabsorb water. This leads to increased urine production.
Excessive alcohol consumption can also cause vomiting, which results in further dehydration. Avoidance of alcohol can help reduce the severity of xerostomia. Those who still opt to drink can alternate between alcoholic beverages and a glass of water to reduce the severity of xerostomia.
