I"ve had a salty taste in my mouth for severl months now which, was making me ill, vomiting, dizziness and nausia. Peppermint i found was a short term cure, more for the nausia than the saltyness, then my tooth absessed, a large back molar which the dentist xrayed and advised me to remove it, which was duly done. To my amazement the taste was gone, after a couple of days that is once the absess had cleared. Now six weeks on all the symptons are back but my teeth are fine. On reasearching over the net I"ve found that dehydrated kidneys can cause this and the advice given is simply drink more water, beleive it or not stress can also contribute as can more serious conditions, mainly in the digestive ares. Im now taking celiac (coeliac) tests which can be purchased over the net and approved by the BMI. Keep smiling
