There is a company that does specialist 'teas' - without the tea and I buy their ginger and lemon infusion. I've read that both lemons and ginger are saliva stimulants.

Oh I didnt know ginger was, I have to try this.

Again, water.

Also club soda. Helps with muscle issues by replenishing electrolytes.

Green tea, blueberry and cherry and blackberry juice.  I am starting to use coconut water now and we will see how that goes.

Seltzer with lemon helps stimulate the glands.  There was a study I believe from japan that said green tea may be protective of salivary glands.

seltzer water stimulates saliva, as do acidic drinks - water with lemon, soda (though I don't recommend that), oj.

warm water or tea are good for dry cough.

Peppermint or ginger tea for an upset stomach.

Nothing helping with over all symptoms.

Sitting here drinking seltzer water with lemon, which helps with digestion and salivation.
But I voted for green tea because that gets me moving in the morning, helps with brain fog.

Lemon water is my go to drink. It has that twang to make your mouth pucker up a bit. But I can't say it's a panacea.

Coffee helps me concentrate, also lots of water.

I drink any and everything, really.

Nothing improves me, but I get relief from liquids in general.
