Chinese medicine believes that dampness and heat in the liver and gallbladder can cause bitter mouth manifestations, in addition to liver fire inflammation, heart fire inflammation and other factors can also cause bitter mouth.
Chinese medicine believes that bitter mouth is mostly caused by the upward flooding of bile. Dampness is sticky and easily obstructs the flow of qi. When dampness and heat fight and stay in the liver and gallbladder, resulting in liver qi not being comfortable and bile not functioning well, the bile follows the liver qi and floods the mouth, which can lead to the symptom of bitter taste in the mouth. Patients with liver and gallbladder dampness and heat are also accompanied by tinnitus, moodiness, yellowish and greasy tongue coating, slippery pulse and other symptoms.
In addition, patients with inflammation of the liver and heart may also experience bile flooding, dry mouth and bitter mouth.
Patients with bitter mouth are advised to go to a regular hospital for treatment under the guidance of a qualified doctor.
