10 Home Remedies For Dry Mouth
Home Remedy #10: Marshmallow Root
The marshmallow plant or Althaea officinalis is a plant often used in herbalism. The marshmallow root has been used since ancient Egyptian times. The usefulness of the plant is reflected in the name which has a Greek origin (althein) which means “to heal.”
The plant is often used in folk medicine to relieve mucous membrane irritation such as ulcers in the oral cavity. Since it is an emollient and has moisturizing properties, in a study in 2015, it was found to be beneficial for individuals who suffer from a dry mouth, especially when used in combination with Alcea digitata.
