Xerostomia (dry mouth and throat) has many potential causes, and patients require syndrome differentiation–based treatment. For cases caused by excessive deficient fire, dietary adjustments can help restore the body’s physiological balance. For disease-related xerostomia, targeted pharmacological therapy is necessary. During treatment and regulation, patients should also drink sufficient water daily to maintain proper hydration and effectively alleviate symptoms of xerostomia.
