In general, commercial dry mouth products tend
to focus on cleansing and moisturizing or coating your mouth, rather
than actually stimulating the creation of saliva. On the other hand,
while most of the herbs and techniques listed in our "Natural Dry Mouth
Treatments" section actually help you produce more of your own saliva,
they may not offer the cleansing or protection functions of some
commercial products. Obviously, there's a place and a purpose for both
types of treatments.
