Dry Mouth. Particularly at night. Solutions?

Hi @longboat1,
Yes, it was for the brutal dry mouth I had, but it had some other positive effects too on my neck. Electroacupuncture is a form of acupuncture that uses electrical stimulation to enhance the therapeutic effects of traditional acupuncture. Thin needles are inserted into specific acupoints on the body, and a mild electrical current is then passed between the needles.
Tried it in 2015 which was offered at my cancer clinic for head & neck cancer patients. I was tested to get a baseline and retested after 8-10 appts. and had great results. Never needed to go back and to this day 10 yrs. later dry mouth is a non-issue, and I don't have to carry a water bottle with me either.
Best of luck,
Rob

Where did you have the electroacupuncture done? So far I've not been able to find it in my area....Greenville, SC.
Sounds like this worked extremely well for you. I see you did the electroaccupuncture in 2015, can you please tell me how long this was after your treatment (surgery and/or chemo, and/or radiation) was all completed? I'm about 5 months past radiation treatments and I am having significant issues with dry mouth. Thank you so much! It's nice to read stories that offer hope of better days down to the road.

Where do you find a doctor who does that type of procedure
