Why do I feel bitter in my mouth when I wake up early?

Bitter taste in the mouth and dry throat is called Shaoyang disease in traditional Chinese medicine. In layman's terms, it means getting angry, damp and hot, which belongs to the fire of the liver and gallbladder. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the liver and gallbladder are the exterior and interior of each other, and bitter taste in the mouth is caused by the overflow of bile. Since bile is bitter, liver and gallbladder fire can easily cause bitter taste in the mouth. In addition, the fire in the body can easily damage body fluids, so the mouth will be bitter and dry.

When the body is suffering from internal heat, it is in a sub-healthy state. Improper use of medication and blindly reducing internal heat will have the opposite effect. In addition, since there are differences in deficiency and excess of internal heat, it is best for patients to consult a Chinese medicine practitioner to diagnose and treat the disease when taking Chinese medicine to reduce internal heat. Especially women should avoid using cold and cooling medicines for reducing heat indiscriminately.

If you have a sore throat, you might as well take vitamin C tablets orally, 2 to 3 tablets 3 times a day, and hold them sublingually. Generally speaking, after two to three days, the symptoms of bitter taste in the mouth will be alleviated or even disappear. However, this method only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. Patients must see a doctor to determine the cause of the disease and receive appropriate treatment to achieve a complete cure.

Western medicine: Psychological factors can also cause bitter taste in the mouth

A bitter taste in the mouth is often caused by poor gallbladder function, especially a reaction of patients with gallbladder diseases (cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, etc.). Some people with poor gastric motility and esophageal inflammation may also have bile reflux into the stomach, which can also cause bitter taste in the mouth. On the other hand, some people who have irregular lifestyles, lack of sleep, snore, sleep with their mouths open, or have oral inflammation are also prone to bitter taste in the mouth.

At the same time, studies have shown that there is also a phenomenon of mental bitterness in the mouth.

Traditional Chinese Medicine: Bitter taste in the mouth is caused by dampness and heat

Dr. Wei from a Beijing hospital said that frequent bitter taste in the mouth is mainly caused by damp heat, which includes damp heat in the liver and gallbladder and heat in the stomach. Damp-heat in the liver and gallbladder and bitter taste in the mouth may be caused by inflammation in the liver and gallbladder. Bitter taste in the mouth is caused by stomach heat. Some people do not have inflammation in the liver and gallbladder, but due to unreasonable diet and eating too much spicy food, they may also suffer from bitter taste in the mouth. At the same time, some people with chronic diseases (such as diabetes) may also experience bitter taste in the mouth.

On the other hand, many mental workers have sluggish gastrointestinal function due to the great mental pressure at work, coupled with improper and irregular diet and lack of activity. The food they eat stays in the gastrointestinal tract too long, which can easily produce damp heat and cause bitter taste in the mouth.

TCM advice:

1. People with chronic diseases should seek treatment for the bitter taste in the mouth according to the cause under the guidance of a doctor.

2. For people who are under great stress, they should try to have a regular diet and a reasonable food structure, eat less spicy food, and eat more fruits and vegetables.
