i want to talk about this very

interesting condition called burning

mouth

syndrome there’s not a lot known about

it

it’s very subjective the person themself

is feeling this

but there’s not very many objective

findings there’s no

tests that can indicate that there’s an

underlying problem it’s very difficult

to diagnose

they call it idiopathic which means

unknown cause

so when i see a situation where there’s

unknown cause i like to

try to pull a string and find out a

little bit about it

and there are certain clues on what

might be causing this condition

but if there is a subclinical

nutritional deficiency

it’s going to be very difficult to

diagnose that but this is what they know

a good portion of people who have

burning mouth syndrome

are post menopause okay now what’s

unique about

post menopause well you have low

estrogen

and you have very low progesterone okay

so we have those two things right there

and we also know post menopause women

are at risk for

b12 deficiency and we also know that b12

deficiency

can also correlate with a burning tongue

okay and also if you’re post menopausal

you’ll be at risk of b6

and i also found some additional

research that shows that there’s this

association between a

deficiency of vitamin b6 and burning

mouth syndrome

i’ll put that link down below and so in

all the studies that i looked at

the most common deficiencies that are

found with burning mouth syndrome

would be a b12 deficiency a folic acid

deficiency

a b6 deficiency which by the way

also b6 is necessary to increase

progesterone and so if you’re really low

on progesterone and you’re using up

all your b6 you could then become

deficient in b6

also they found that a zinc deficiency

can be associated with this condition

too and what’s unique about

that is during menopause the adrenal

glands

back up the ovaries so you usually have

more cortisol

stimulation and higher levels of

cortisol will definitely cause a zinc

deficiency not to mention another risk

factor for burning mouth syndrome

is diabetes and when you’re diabetic

with all this glucose going through your

bloodstream

you can easily become zinc deficient and

then the last correlation would be

low estrogen which you see in

post-menopausal

females now another thing that may show

up as well as you may have high

homocysteine levels

which can be lowered by taking certain

b vitamins like b12 b6

and even the mineral zinc so if you have

burning mouth syndrome

your best bet would be to take b12

folic acid b6 zinc

and of course do whatever you can to

help support your adrenals

and support any type of blood sugar

issues so if you’re new to my channel

i’m going to show you how to do that
