your body will try to match its surroundings or hydrate it. Salt will make your mouth dry because it is trying to re-hydrate your mouth and re-adjust itself back to the balance it was in before the salt entered.

Salt draws moisture out of cells through a process called osmosis. When you consume too much salt, it can lead to dehydration by extracting water from your body's cells, including the cells in your mouth. This can leave your mouth feeling dry or parched.

Does water make your mouth dry?

- Water doesn't make your mouth dry. The fact that you are dehydrated makes your mouth dry. If you are really thirsty drink Luke warm water as it is easier for your stomach to digest and will hydrate you quicker. - Adding electrolytes to the water helps. Add lemonade or tea powder to water, otherwise you can drink water until you are dizzy, yet your mouth is still dry. - Breathing through the mouth is a frequent cause of a dry mouth. This can be a habit, or caused by congestion and narrowing of the nasal passages.
