Dry mouth (medically known as xerostomia) is a condition that arises when the salivary glands in the mouth don’t make an adequate amount of saliva to keep the mouth moist. There are multiple reasons that can lead to dry mouth; many medicines like those used to treat high BP, depression, anxiety and chemotherapy drugs can cause dryness in the mouth. Radiation therapy to head and neck can damage salivary glands and result in decrease salivation. Dry mouth can arise in elderly people, in diabetics and also in people who drink too much alcohol, chew tobacco, smoke, or use marijuana. Dehydration and breathing with an open mouth can also result in dry mouth. Homeopathic remedies for dry mouth bring excellent results by addressing the root cause behind the dryness.

Tong and above it dry at night. I am diabetic with oral medication.
I deal with chronic insomnia. I think part of my issue is constant dry mouth since sleep I sleep my mouth open so I have constant dry mouth. I use a dehumidifier in the apartment I sleep in. At night I use a humidifier. This does not help. I wake up after a few hours and never go back to sleep. I maybe get 4 hours of sleep a night. In the morning until I brush my teeth my mouth feels like I swallowed paste. Thank you.
