The following methods can quickly eliminate thick white tongue coating:
1. Dietary Regulation: Eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach and clear heat, such as coix seed, red adzuki beans, Chinese yam, and winter melon. Avoid consuming excessively greasy or raw cold foods. Dietary adjustments can fundamentally improve thick white tongue coating.
2. Oral Hygiene: In addition to rinsing your mouth, brush your teeth thoroughly in the morning and evening, and gently brush the surface of your tongue with a toothbrush to remove residual food particles and bacteria.
3. Hydration: Drinking plenty of water helps maintain adequate hydration in the body, promotes gastrointestinal motility, relieves constipation, and thereby improves thick white tongue coating.
4. Medication: If symptoms are severe, under a doctor's guidance, use herbal medicines or traditional Chinese medicine preparations that strengthen the spleen, nourish the stomach, dispel cold, and remove dampness, such as tangerine peel, licorice, and poria.
