- Experiencing a sticky, dry feeling in your mouth?
This week I take a closer look at this often unexpected menopause symptom. I explain what causes it and the best way to treat dry mouth to get rid of it or ease it.

I started getting the 'burning tongue' syndrome last year and the dry eyes. I now have a bottle of eye drops next to my bed for when I get up--then I'm good for the rest of the day. As for the 'burning tongue' , when I first got it, I actually thought I had burnt my mouth---then I thought I had thrush--lol ---turns out it was the menopause. After investigating, I found out my grandmother had the same problem. My mother-in-law also suffered from this. My question is WHY do women keep quiet about these things? Why are women still hesitant about openly talking on going through menopause? If it wasn't for me finding Eileen and hearing her talk candidly about what we can expect to go through I'd be seriously thinking I was going crazy.
Hi Antoinette
Glad to be of help!
It is still a bit of a mystery why it is not talked about but things are getting better and we are trying our best to get as much information ‘out there’ as possible!
I would like a friend of the menopause that I can share my views it's terrible.
Hi Sharon, Unfortunately, we don’t offer a chat forum, sorry, but you are welcome to make any comments or ask questions here
It's sad that we don't. This "curse" is bad enough without sharing information.
I know especially for Women of Color. We don’t tend to talk about these things.
I have been dealing with perimenopause since 2014 and since Oct 2018 I have been having constant leg cramps and back pain and dry mouth never thought it could be from my perimenopause. Glad I found your videos.
Glad to be of help
All the way from Republic of Ireland filipino. All the sign and symptoms I have. 49 years old
Wow! All of this has happened to me. Dentists aren't that accommodating or attentive either 😡 Buckthorn oil? I'll have to look it up
Dry mouth is driving me crazy! I started taking Camu Camu Amla and cod liver oil. When I remember to take it, it seems to help. I do drink a good amount of water already. Prickly ash bark stimulates things too but it just tastes bad. I’ll try ginger and seabuck thorn oil. Thanks.
Hope they help!

Dry mouth, for me personally has been one of the hardest symptoms to deal with and at times has prevented me from sleeping and has absolutely driven me to distraction it's been so bad. After some trial and error, a combination of 3 tried and tested things I do everyday to alleviate my dry mouth symptoms are:
1. I began to use an electric essential oil humidifier at night and that's helped tremendously, especially when I had a sinus cold and could only breathe through my mouth making it even drier.
2. I CANNOT live without my Sensodyne Pronamel mouthwash. Unfortunately it's become harder to buy and it isn't cheap but, it's helped my symptoms so much. It's alcohol free and slightly oily making it a lovely mild lubricant and I really notice if I miss a day of using it, so I know it's helping me.
3. I find I dehydrate very quickly now so I drink lots of water and have cut down on alcohol and caffeine which were very definitely making my symptoms a lot, lot worse.
Hopefully this combination may also help someone else with this horrible symptom.
Hi Tickle
Thank you so much for your tips! Have you also checked out Sea Buckthorn Oil? This can be very helpful too.
Hi Angela
I often recommend toothpastes that contain Neem; you should be able to get one from your local health shop.

Yes thank you. I am sbput to buy a humidifier. Which one do ypu have? And what essential oils do you use? I am barely sleeping, even on sleeping pills 😔.
How do you use the seabuckthorn oil?
@@AvogelCoUkdo you sell seabuckthorn oil? Is it to injest?
@@soniaterhovanessian7198 we don't supply this, sorry but you can get it from most health shops. Yes, it's for taking orally.
Oral 7 Products - Mouth gel, wash, and toothpaste help. They contain the natural enzymes that are needed in saliva to protect teeth and gums. Just recently started struggling with this. It's awful, thanks for the video.
Hi Zannah
Thank you for the tip!

I have this bad and dry nose and what helps this
You may find the Sea Buckthorn Oil capsules can help with this and remember to drink plenty of plain water as dehydration will make this worse!
Hi Was there something I can take for dry mouth beside water? My mouth gets really dry and throat as well. sometime I'm having hard time to swallow foods. Any tip helps would be appreciated. Thank You!
Hi Debbie
There’s a supplement called Sea Buckthorn Oil which is known to help with a dry mouth. See www.omega7.co.uk for more info.
@@AvogelCoUk Thank You Eileen I'll get back to U in a few months to let U know how well Sea buckthorn oil helps my dry mouth & throat. Please make more video about perimenopause. It's not fun going through :( Oh and I subscribed :) & Thank You again
im suffering to waiting for ent at hospital
@@mdhotrod1 hey any improvement?
@@veenaveenavedamurthy850 Hi Veena I did took Sea buckthorn everyday for 4 months and it wasn't helping me at all. I gave up and stop taking it, So instead each day I drank tons of water and change my diet eating more fruits and leafy green and cut down on carbs and less salt. I also walk around the neighborhood each day for half an hour. Walking each day helps my insomnia as well. My dry mouth disappeared all sudden. Lady if ur in Perimenopause or menopause please drink more water. especially during summer time. Dry mouth is no fun and I went through and I do not wish anyone getting it.
Thank you doc...
Most welcome!
Thanks a million
You're welcome Doris!

Menopause. How lounge. To suffer. Please answer me.????
Hi Ismeta
This is a really difficult question, the average time span is approx 5 years but some women can have it much shorter and other women much longer, sorry.
What about sore throat
The fall in hormone levels during the menopause can cause lots of symptoms, such as dry mouth or tongue etc. Although, there can be various reasons for a sore throat, and if it is persistent it is best to get it checked out, first of all.
