Is there a home treatment for "geographic tongue"?

There is no specific treatment for geographic tongue as it is not considered a separate condition but rather a variation in the appearance of the tongue. However, reducing acidity in the mouth can help alleviate symptoms. Using soda mouthwash, avoiding acidic foods, and even taking medications for gastric acidity may help with the symptoms. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.
