How to repair my parotid salivary glands? - #21693

Valery Rose

Hello doctor, Since 2 years, my salivary glands only work for 15-20% instead of the normal 40-70%. It all started gradually when I quit the anticids, the medication I'd been taken for years because of my acid reflux (I have to take it because the valve between my stomach and oesophagus does no longer work after a stomach ulcer perforated my stomach). But since the acid reflux didn't stop, my stomach and oesophagus inflamed once again and I had to take the anticids again. Unfortunately it didn't cure my parotid salivary glands 😢 It's very hard to speak (and I'm a teacher 😢) because of my dry mouth. Also, my saliva is frothy when I speak. My tongue looks dehydrated, the colour is very fade and purple. I drink 2 liters of water each day, but drinking water unfortunately doesn't give any relief. It's very hard physically and mentally. I think the doctor's will say it's Sjögren, but I'm not ready to accept that answer. Could you please give me some tips ? I very truly appreciate it 🙏🏻❤️

It sounds like you’re dealing with a challenging situation. Ayurvedically speaking, dry mouth and related symptoms may indicate an imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas. To address this, you may want to try a combination of dietary, lifestyle, and possibly herbal approaches. First, consider your dietary habits. Incorporate more sweet, moist, and juicy foods into your diet, as these can help lubricate your system and pacify aggravated Vata. Opt for ghee, milk, and warm, cooked meals. Coconut water can also be beneficial, as it helps soothe pitta and provides hydration, which might be more effective than just water. Regarding lifestyle changes, consider practicing oil pulling, an Ayurvedic technique where you swish sesame or coconut oil in your mouth for about 5-10 minutes daily. This can help promote oral health and moisture. Regular yoga and meditation may also prove helpful, as stress can exacerbate imbalances in doshas and lead to further issues, like dryness. Herbally, Ashwagandha might be beneficial due to its adaptogenic properties, which can help manage stress and Vata disorders. Anupan, or the medium you take it with, like warm milk, can enhance its effects. Ensure efficient digestion as well. I’d suggest taking a pinch of powdered ginger or ajwain seeds with warm water before meals, as this can strengthen agni (digestive fire) and balance impurities, reducing dryness. One note: given your acid reflux history, anything ingested should be checked for its heat-producing properties, potentially aggravating Pitta. It's crucial to consult your healthcare provider or a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before incorporating herbal remedies. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods as they can create imbalances. Keep your environment humidified if possible, and practice gentle gargling with warm water mixed with a pinch of turmeric, helpful for maintaining mucosal health. Finally, although Ayurveda offers various supportive measures, it cannot substitute for urgent or critical care. If a health professional suggests Sjögren's syndrome, discussing this further with them is essential to reach a clear diagnosis and comprehensive management plan.
