A doctor will determine the underlying cause of dry mouth in the patient and then take steps to minimize the underlying cause, such as stopping a medication causing the dry mouth. For many individuals, however, little can be done to alter the underlying cause.
The carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is a root vegetable, usually orange in colour, though purple, red, white, and yellow varieties exist. It has a crisp texture when fresh. The most commonly eaten part of a carrot is a taproot, although the greens are sometimes eaten as well. It is a domesticated form of the wild carrot Daucus carota, native to Europe and southwestern Asia. The domestic carrot has been selectively bred for its greatly enlarged and more palatable, less woody-textured edible taproot.
Carrots are sensitive to the pH level and grow best at around 6- 6.5 pH. They also grow best in loose rich moist soil where they can grow a healthy root. Loosen up the soil with a tiller or plow or hoe 8 to 9 inches deep so the carrot roots can fully develop. Break up clumbs of hard soil and remove rocks that could block the carrotsâ growth. Plant seeds a quarter to a half inch deep. Space rows a foot to 18 inches apart. Thin the seedlings after three weeks or so, so that the carrots you leave in the soil will be able to grow up big and yummy. Be sure to weed. To have a constant supply of carrots, plant your rows weeks apart so they mature at separate times.
