Herbal Treatment for Burning Tongue

June 10, 2009


Burning tongue is a common occurrence for someone suffering from Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS). In this condition, there is a constant sensation of itching and burning of the tongue. Burning tongue is an acute condition and seen mostly in middle aged people or women after their menopause. The causes for burning tongue include dry throat, thirst, hormonal imbalance, dental disorders, oral diabetes or improper functioning of the nerves.

Though burning tongue does not cause any effect on the taste buds and we are able to feel the taste of edible things, but if this problem persists for a long time then it can turn chronic. And in chronic condition, the gums, teeth as well as lips also feel a burning sensation. Therefore it is better to cure this condition as early as possible.

Herbal remedies for burning tongue
One of the best ways to cure the irritation of tongue is by keeping it hydrated. Drink as much water as possible; high intake of liquids in the form of juices will also help. Dryness increases irritation and hence one can also keep placing ice cubes on the tongue from time to time to provide a soothing effect to the tongue and reduce the severity of the burning sensation.

Applying glycerin on the tongue or chewing a sugar free gum can also help in curing burning tongue. Just like water, a person suffering from burning tongue should consume fruits and vegetables that are rich in Vitamin B and C. Potatoes, Bananas, Oranges, Gooseberries, lentils should be consumed to reduce the irritation.

Apart from following the above tips, one should also stay away from smoking and alcohol during this period. Avoid consuming spicy food, chocolates, sweets and processed food. Always consume freshly prepared home food which is simple and healthy.

As said earlier, burning tongue should be treated as early as possible, otherwise it might turn into a chronic condition and cause more problems. So start with these effective herbal treatments and cure the burning of tongue within few weeks.
