Mouthwash for Dry Mouth w/o Mint or Cinnamon

Has anyone tried a mouthwash for dry mouth that does not contain mint, peppermint, or anything not desirable for people who have reflux disease?

I use Biotene or Oasis mouthwash that seems to help alleviate it somewhat for me. I am on some medications that cause "dry mouth" and I also have GERD which I take medication for so add C-pap to that nightly and I can certainly empathize with your problem of trying to combat that "cotton" mouth issue.
You might give either of these a try and see if they help you. Biotene has a dry mouth moisturizer that I use just before putting on my interface at night which helps a lot, too. Biotene also makes a dry mouth toothpaste which I've only used a sample of (from my hygenist) so I don't know how much difference it would make in long term use. I use Colgate normally so I am used to the taste of that one and I seem to prefer it for that "clean taste" feeling afterwards.
Best wishes to you in finding something that helps you.

Felineperson3,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately Bioten has a mint flavor. I called them and they do not plan on making a flavor for folks who suffer from Reflux.

I looked up Oasis and their flavor is also mint.
