Excessive thirst – this doesn’t sound like a malady at all. After all everyone feels thirsty. It’s so very normal. And with the change of seasons, there is always an appreciable change in everyone’s appetite and thirst habits. Summer times, especially, are thirst times. But an excessive and incessant craving for water could well point out to something grave. Hence ‘excessive thirst’ as such should not be brushed off lightly. Especially when you have an inkling that something is intrinsically wrong with you - call it your ‘instinct’ or your ‘sixth sense’. Sometimes excessive thirst could well be an indication of a far more serious ailment like diabetes. Seek appropriate medical help if you harbor such suspicions. If you do not suffer from any such afflictions and all your tests are normal, then try some of these home-remedies to quench your insatiable thirst. 
* Have two to four grams of fresh gooseberry (amla) with honey along with water 2-3 times a day.
* Boil water till it is reduced to one fourth of its volume and have it.
*Mix the juice of half a lemon with one cup of warm water. Add one or two pinches of salt and sip the juice.
*Immerse a sour apple in water overnight. Next morning, crush the apple and extract the juice; drink this juice to quench your thirst. Do this continuously for about a week.
* The juice of sour grapes is also found to be effective in such cases.
* Roast a teaspoonful of black pepper and powder it. Add this powder to four cups of boiling water; decant and cool. Use this water whenever you are thirsty.
* Tomato juice sweetened with sugar or glucose is also an excellent drink to quench thirst.

Diabetes is a leading cause for excessive thirst,does your urination have a slight foul odor, does your urination out number your trips to the bathroom? Also some medications and high temperatures out side can effect your thirst.
