We all might have experienced burnt tongues at some point in our lives. It can be while sipping your hot cup of coffee or tea just before a meeting, tasting mom’s food, or restaurants. Since the tongue is a sensitive part so the heat gets absorbed into the pores of the tongue. When it gets burnt, the outer surface of the tongue becomes very delicate. But we just think it will heal in time. But there are a few natural ways to soothe your burnt tongue.
Sugar:
This really works effective and quick whenever you burn your tongue sipping a hot cup of coffee or tea, always look for sugar. The glucose content in the sugar immediately soothes the tongue. Sugar provides instant relief and also enjoys a sweet taste in the mouth. To heal burnt tongue faster using crushed sugar (powdered sugar) is better.
