10 Home Remedies For Dry Mouth
Home Remedy #8: Nopal Cactus
Nopal cactus or prickly pear is a common ingredient used in Mexican cuisine. The pads of the plant can be eaten cooked or raw in soups, marmalades, salads, and stews. It is often used in traditional medicine and is believed to be beneficial for individuals suffering from high cholesterol levels, diabetes, glaucoma, hangovers, and for obese people.
Its anti-inflammatory properties make it beneficial for ulcers, gingivitis, and periodontitis. A clinical study also found that in combination with sialagogue therapeutics, it was successful as a home remedy for those with dry mouth due to viral aetiologies.
