There are many friends who often feel dry mouth at night and even wake up because of it. This condition can be caused by a variety of reasons, the most common of which are 5 of them. Below we will introduce these 5 reasons and the corresponding solutions in detail.

"Snoring".

People with severe snoring are prone to "sleep apnea syndrome", which is characterized by intermittent or even abrupt stop snoring, which increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and high blood pressure.

In order to manage this condition, you can choose traditional Chinese medicine to regulate your body constitution, or use medical devices such as ventilators to improve lung ventilation.

Yin deficiency and fiery physique

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the lack of water in the body is yin deficiency, coupled with the fire and prosperity, the formation of yin deficiency and fire prosperity constitution, which can easily lead to dry mouth and sore throat at night. Such people often have symptoms such as dry mouth and sore throat, hot palms and feet, and upset and night sweats. The tongue is red and less lichen, and the tip of the tongue is red.

In view of this situation, the Chinese patent medicine "Zhibai Dihuang Pill" is a good choice.

Heavy moisture

Heavy moisture does not mean that there is a lot of water in the body, but that the water cannot be used normally, forming dampness. Spleen deficiency and malfunction cause water to reach where it should go. As a result, we may have a heavy amount of moisture in the middle of the coke, but the pharynx and nose will still be dry if there is a lack of water.

This kind of dry mouth has a characteristic called "dry mouth does not want to drink", that is, you have a dry mouth, but you are given a glass of water but do not want to drink, or you feel more uncomfortable after drinking one or two sips. Actually, you don't lack water in your body at all, it's just that water isn't being utilized.

In response to this situation, we can use some dampness, such as "Erchen Pill" or "Pinggao Pill", to remove the dampness in the body and make the water in the body flow.

The liver is on fire

If the fire itself is strong, it is easy to evaporate the yin fluid in the body, and after the yin fluid is evaporated, the throat will begin to dry. Sleeping at night is itself a process of yang energy entering yin, if you are angry, the excessive yang energy will enter and evaporate the yin fluid, resulting in a dry mouth.

If there is a short temper, yellow urine, constipation, headache, tinnitus, red eyes, red tongue and other manifestations of liver fire, you can choose to use "Gentian Liver Pills" for **; If there is bad breath, bitter mouth and toothache, constipation, burning sensation in the stomach and other excessive stomach fire, you can use "Huoxiang Qingqi Pill" for conditioning.

Chronic pharyngitis Tonsillar hypertrophy Adenoidal hypertrophy

If you have chronic pharyngitis or tonsillar hypertrophy, it is very likely that the pharynx will have inflammation, and you will be prone to dry mouth and throat, and adenoid hypertrophy or tonsillar hypertrophy itself will affect your breathing, causing you to have to open your mouth to breathe in order to have better ventilation.

This causes too much airflow through the pharynx, causing a dry and sore throat. At this point, pharyngitis is key.
