Burnt Tongue: What to Do to Relieve a Burning Sensation.
A cup of coffee or a dish that's too hot and voila, your tongue is burnt.
What to do to relieve this pain?
When your tongue is burnt like a burn on the skin, the reflex is to jump on ice water.
But the relief is only temporary, a few seconds later the pain returns quickly.
Here there are only two solutions: wait for it to pass or calm the pain with a little sugar.
To relieve the burning sensation, did you know that all it takes is a little sugar? It is a surprising but effective natural remedy!
How to do
1. Ask asquare of sugar on the tongue.
2. Stick it against the palate.
3. Let it melt.
Results
There you go, your tongue doesn't burn you anymore :-)
Now you know how to treat a burnt tongue. Easy and convenient, isn't it?
You can also do the same with a teaspoon of powdered sugar if you don't have anything else at home. Gradually, the burning sensation will subside.
Why it works
No, it's not magic, it's neurological.
Sugar stimulates the brain, which will thus release the drug of happiness, better known as endorphins.
These hormones, which provide a feeling of well-being, are also an anestheticeffective for small injuries of this kind. It's that simple !
When it comes to endorphins, chocolate is also not bad. If you are an incorrigible foodie, you can use it in place of sugar. A square of milk chocolate should also calm the scalded tongue.
Savings made
The advantage of these greedy remedies is that they are close at hand. Sugar and chocolate are some of the things everyone has around the house. It is therefore very practical.
And then it costs you nothing more, since these products go into the shopping budget. I have no doubt that the pharmacist can find something to relieve your burn.
But it is money spent on a product that will only be used 2 or 3 times, when there is already everything you need at home.
