Mike	Posted - 19/6/2019 15:43:41 I have a dry mouth (lack of saliva), white fur on the tongue (especially in the middle), a central deep crack and a few cracks on the sides.. I do moxibustion occasionally on ST 36 - and while this does usually help a bit with the dryness and perhaps even the coating..the next day I have a dry, unpleasant sensation in my nose. Why would this happen ?
