White coated tongue remedies-simplehub

Being one of the strongest muscles of our body it helps us to swallow the food we eat and with our talking too. Pink should be the color of our tongue but then there are times that it turned to white making it difficult for us to appreciate the taste of the food we eat.
Improper hygiene, certain drugs or disease causes it to become white although in some cases it is just a sign that we are dehydrated. But if the symptoms are severe we need to see a doctor right away.
However there are several home remedies that we can do and this is very effective for me whenever my tongue gets white coated.

Here are the cheap home remedies:

1. We all know that salt has antiseptic properties and by sprinkling some of it on your tongue and gently scrubbing them with a tooth brush for about one minute and rinsing with warm water twice a day it will not only remove the bacteria that causes bad breath but also the white coated on our tongue would disappear in a week.

2. Yes probiotics , just mix it with a small amount of water to be used as a mouthwash solution after brushing our teeth to be done for a week once a day. And you will see a positive result since probiotics are good in fighting bacteria and fungus in our mouth.

3. Another effective home remedy which also good for dry mouth is by brushing a little of vegetable glycerine on your tongue twice a day and rinsing with warm water afterwards until it returns to its pink color.
