As an experienced old Chinese medicine practitioner, I would like to share with you some reasons for bitter, sour, sweet, and salty mouth, as well as how to understand the health of your body through these symptoms.
First of all, bitterness in the mouth may be caused by dampness and heat in the liver and gallbladder or hyperactivity in the liver. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver and gallbladder are the inside and outside of each other, and if there is a problem with the function of the liver and gallbladder, it will lead to dampness and heat, which will cause bitterness in the mouth.
In addition, hyperactivity of the liver can also lead to dry mouth and bitter mouth, often accompanied by headaches, red eyes and other symptoms.
A sour mouth may be caused by a hot and damp stomach or a burning stomach. Dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach can lead to symptoms such as sourness and loss of appetite in the mouth, while a burning stomach can cause symptoms such as bitterness and dry mouth. Therefore, when the mouth is sour, attention should be paid to regulating the spleen and stomach and keeping a light diet.
Sweetness in the mouth may be caused by dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach or dampness in the spleen. Dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach can lead to symptoms such as sweetness and loss of appetite in the mouth, while spleen deficiency and dampness can cause symptoms such as limb weakness and bloating. Therefore, when the mouth is sweet, you should pay attention to strengthening the spleen and dampness, and maintain a regular diet.
Salty mouth can be caused by kidney deficiency or kidney disease.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the main water of the kidney, if kidney deficiency or kidney disease leads to a disorder of water metabolism in the body, it will cause a salty taste in the mouth. In addition, salty taste in the mouth may also be associated with excessive taste, such as excessive consumption of salt or spicy foods.
The above are the reasons for the bitter, sour, sweet and salty mouth and the corresponding conditioning methods.
