Natural Health: Hot tea burnt the roof of my mouth and it's difficult to eat

Drink soothing herbal teas made with cold water rather than boiling water, like chamomile

I burned the roof of my mouth while drinking extra hot tea about a week ago. It’s slow to heal, and I’m finding it difficult to eat. What would you recommend?

Burning the roof of your mouth is painful and frustrating, but it typically only lasts for a day or two since the delicate tissues in the mouth tend to heal more rapidly. The fact that you are having trouble eating will certainly be part of the problem, as the body needs nutrients to recover.
