Hi Cheryl & Anne-Marie,

Thanks for your responses. I had a quick question regarding suggested daily frequency and timing of the salt/bicarb rinses and Manuka swishes. I am assuming that 3 to 4 times a day, and just before meals?

Best Regards,
Chetan

Chetan,
I don't mean to butt into the conversation, but I used the baking soda/water several times a day, did not count the number. My MO said as often as you like. My RO said it would make my mouth drier so would depend on that. I had quite a bit of saliva for most of radiation so I used it without regard to that. I bought Manuka honey after treatment, and did try it on my sores I had afterwards, "hedging my bets" is what I called it. I think it does soothe them for sure. I only used the honey once or twice a day then. I will attest to the honey being tasty, now that I have more taste buds back.

I remember thinking the treatment time would never pass; it did! Yours will too. Look at it a day at a time, maybe a week, and it will seem to go faster.
Best,
Anne

Hi there - I agree use the rinses as needed - I used to rinse then swish eith the hiney - honey cleans so if you've eaten then clean out anything left in there with the rinse then do the honey - that way it has some time to work.

Good luck!
