Hot liquid on an already burning tongue doesn’t sound like the best idea, but when it comes to black tea, the benefits are too good to pass up. You can take 2-3 teabags and allow them to cool, then extract the liquid. You can gently apply this concentrated dose of nutrients directly on the tongue. The antioxidants and tannins found in black tea will quickly eliminate the inflammation and promote healing, reducing the impact of stress hormones and nutrient deficiencies to effectively get rid of burning tongue symptoms.
