What Medication Should Be Taken for Dry Mouth, Bitter Taste, and Yellow, Thick, Greasy Tongue Coat?

These symptoms are commonly seen in conditions such as heat accumulation and internal heat in the stomach and intestines, liver fire ascending, and deficiency of stomach yin. Medications such as Huanglian Shangqing Pill and Maren Zipi Pill can usually be selected for improvement.

This is generally caused by external pathogens transforming into internal heat or a diet high in spicy and greasy foods. Food retention is particularly prone to causing a yellow, thick, and greasy tongue coat. Chinese patent medicines such as Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian and Qingning Pill can be used under a doctor's guidance. Daily, herbs such as Maren (Hemp Seed), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), and Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum) can be boiled in water for consumption to regulate the condition.

This is mostly caused by the liver's failure to disperse and drain properly, leading to excessive liver fire consuming yin fluids. Liver fire is particularly prone to causing dry mouth and bitter taste. Chinese patent medicines such as Huanglian Shangqing Pill, Danggui Longhui Pill, and Longdan Xiegan Pill can be used under a doctor's guidance. Daily, herbs such as Longdancao (Gentiana Scabra Radix), Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma), and Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) can be boiled in water for consumption to regulate the condition.

This is caused by improper diet or damage to yin fluids by heat pathogens, leading to excessive consumption of gastric fluids. Insufficient yin fluids are particularly prone to causing dry mouth. Chinese patent medicines such as Maren Zipi Pill and Maren Runchang Pill can be used under a doctor's guidance. Daily, herbs such as Shihu (Dendrobium Nobile), Wumei (Fructus Mume), and Shashen (Adenophora Radix) can be boiled in water for consumption to regulate the condition.
