Home Remedies for Increased salivation

Baking Soda Rinse

Mix half a teaspoon of baking soda into 8 ounces (1 cup) of warm water. Swish the mixture around in your mouth for 30 seconds and spit out. Repeat several times a day.

Turmeric

Prepare turmeric tea by adding 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder to 8 ounces of hot water. Allow to steep for 5-7 minutes. Drink this daily or rinse your mouth with a turmeric-infused solution of similar strength.

Saltwater Gargle

Dissolve 1 teaspoon of table salt in 8 ounces of warm water. Gargle the solution for 30 seconds and then spit out. Do this several times throughout the day.

Green Tea

Prepare green tea using one tea bag or 1 teaspoon of loose leaves per cup. Rinse your mouth with this after cooling or sip 1-2 cups daily.

Neem

For a rinse, add a few drops of neem oil to a cup of water. Alternatively, chew on 1-2 fresh neem leaves after thoroughly washing them.

Sage

Brew sage tea by steeping 1-2 teaspoons of dried sage in 8 ounces of hot water for 5 minutes. Drink this or use as a mouth rinse after cooling.

Aloe Vera

Swish your mouth with one tablespoon of pure aloe vera juice or directly apply a small quantity of aloe vera gel to your gums using a clean finger or cotton swab.

Black Tea Rinse

Prepare strong black tea and allow it to cool. Use this to rinse your mouth 1-2 times a day.

Witch Hazel

Dab a cotton ball into alcohol-free witch hazel and gently apply to the inner cheeks once daily.

Clove Oil

Using a clean cotton swab, dab 1-2 drops of clove oil onto the gums. Be cautious not to swallow.

Essential Oils

Create a blend of 1-2 drops of food-grade eucalyptus or tea tree oil with one tablespoon of carrier oil like coconut or olive oil. Use this to rinse the mouth or apply to gums.

Sugarless Gum

Chew sugarless gum periodically. The act can stimulate saliva initially, but might regulate its flow with time.

Ginger

Slice a small piece of fresh ginger and chew it slowly, or prepare ginger tea by steeping fresh or dried ginger in hot water.

Coconut Oil Pulling

Start your day by swishing 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes. Ensure you do not swallow the oil.

Peppermint Tea

Brew a cup of peppermint tea using fresh leaves or tea bags. Drinking this can help soothe the stomach.

Water

Ensure regular hydration by drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water daily, especially in warmer climates or after physical activity.
