As the saying goes, "If you swallow 300 mouthfuls of saliva every day, you will live to 190 in your life". It has been recognized by many people that swallowing saliva often has a health-preserving effect. But if saliva is too much or too little, it is a sign of disease, which is mostly related to spleen deficiency and kidney deficiency.

Saliva is not saliva.

Speaking of saliva, many people think it is our usual saliva. In fact, this is not accurate. The doctor said that saliva actually includes saliva and liquid, and the real "saliva" should refer to liquid.

"Saliva, saliva, is secreted from the root of the tongue. Spit is artificially spit out, and the liquid is also called' saliva', which is real saliva. " Doctors say saliva often comes out involuntarily, which is what people often say.

Most of the saliva is due to deficiency of both spleen and kidney.

The doctor said that, generally speaking, saliva is related to the deficiency of spleen and kidney in Dachuan. It is clearly pointed out in Neijing that "the five internal organs are fluid, the heart is sweat, the lungs are tears, the liver is tears, the spleen is saliva, and the kidney is saliva." In other words, abnormal sweating can be found in the heart, excessive nasal discharge depends on whether there is any problem in the lungs, and abnormal tears should be found in the liver. Accordingly, abnormal saliva and spitting are problems of spleen and kidney.

Although "fluid" and "fluid" come from spleen and kidney respectively, spleen and kidney often interact with each other, and kidney plays a leading role, so fluid and saliva often appear at the same time. "Too much saliva, too thick, and bitter taste in the mouth are often manifestations of spleen heat. You must not eat spicy food at this time, and try to eat less beef and mutton. You can take some medicines that clear spleen heat, such as gardenia and forsythia. " The doctor also said that salty saliva is a sign of kidney deficiency.

The doctor reminded that many people have the embarrassment of drooling when they sleep, mainly because they eat too much spicy food, which leads to spleen and stomach getting angry. Don't eat spicy food at this time, and don't eat too much, especially at night. Be sure to eat less.

Less saliva is due to "internal fire"

Too much saliva is a problem, so is too little. The doctor said that too little saliva means insufficient body fluid, which is a sign of internal dryness.

An ancient book recorded such a story. A boudoir lady is ill. She is thin and weak. The doctor who was invited to see a doctor wondered if it was because unmarried people were lovesick, but when he heard about it, he found that it was not an "emotional" disease. In ancient times, men and women didn't kiss, and doctors didn't like ladies' tongue coating. It happened that someone nearby said that the lady had been working for several days. Dry mouth means insufficient body fluid. When the doctor was thinking about the cause of the dryness of body fluid, he just caught a glimpse of a pile of melon seeds under the door and suddenly realized.

So, the doctor immediately asked people to put away those melon seeds and boil water for the young lady to drink, saying that it would be fine. The young lady's father was puzzled and asked the doctor why. The doctor said, "Your daughter ate a lot of melon seeds, lost saliva, lacked body fluid, and had difficulty in transporting the spleen and stomach, so she lost weight. Emaciation leads to spleen deficiency, kidney deficiency and body fluid deficiency. There is miss's saliva on the melon seed shell. If you drink it, you can make up the lost saliva. "

The doctor stressed that friends who love melon seeds should eat in moderation, and don't eat too much at a time. Once there is dry mouth and loss of appetite, eat more sour fruits to supplement body fluids. Pears and grapes are good.
