A cup of coffee or something too hot and presto, your tongue is burned.
What can I do to relieve this pain?
When your tongue is burnt like a burn on the skin, the reflex is to throw yourself into the icy 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 you need is a little sugar ? It's a surprising, but effective natural remedy!
1. Put a square of sugar on the tongue.
2. Stick it against the palate.
3. Let melt.
There you go, your tongue no longer burns you :-)
Now you know how to cure a burnt tongue. Easy and convenient, right?
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.
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 that provide a feeling of well-being are also an anesthetic effective for small sores of this kind. It's as simple as that!
Question endorphins, chocolate also is not bad. If you are an incorrigible gourmand, you can use it instead of sugar. A square of milk chocolate should also calm a scalded tongue.
The advantage of these gourmet remedies is that they are close at hand. Sugar and chocolate are among the things that everyone has at home. It is therefore very practical.
And then it costs you nothing more, since these products go into the shopping budget. I'm sure the pharmacist will find something to ease your burn.
But it's money spent on a product that will only be used 2 or 3 times, when there is already everything you need at home.
