Depending upon the cause of your burning tongue and mouth, the most appropriate treatments will vary.  If the cause of your sensation is excess acidity, then:   choosing more alkaline foods (vegetables, non-processed soy, soaked nuts , dark leafy greens etc. ), neutralizing acids through mineral salts (calcium, magnesium, cell salts, alkalizing powders, baking soda etc.), drinking sufficient pure  filtered alkaline water and improving the elimination of acids through castor oil packs, hydrotherapies, etc. will be helpful.  There are many homeopathic remedies which may be useful in alleviating this condition.


  Consult a trained homeopath to provide the most appropriate remedy for you.  Consider any pharmaceutical drugs you are taking to ensure these are not producing unwanted side effects.  There are many other potential causes for this condition, so please consider seeking the advice of a trained health care practitioner to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
