Why is my mouth dry, tongue parched, and nose dry?

Dry mouth and throat as well as dry nose may be caused by various factors: 1. These symptoms may result from bodily dehydration, such as failing to replenish fluids adequately after heavy exercise or being in a hot environment. 2. They may be associated with pathological factors such as excessive lung heat or diabetes-like conditions. Excessive lung heat might be caused by overexertion or prolonged coughing that damages lung yin, while diabetes-like syndromes may relate to poor diet, emotional disharmony, and kidney yin imbalance. 3. From a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) perspective, symptoms like dry mouth and nose may also stem from yin deficiency or damp-heat. Yin deficiency might be triggered by excessive sexual activity or intense emotional states, whereas damp-heat may relate to external pathogenic factors or spleen dysfunction. To alleviate these symptoms, it is recommended to maintain sufficient hydration and adopt healthy lifestyle habits. If symptoms persist, timely medical consultation is advised to determine the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
