[cancercured] Re: Delayed Death of Salivary Glands?

Elliot

Have you talked to the doctor, who originally did the work since your
salivary glands are starting to get dry? I would do that first.

There is plenty of hope. Ayurveda recommends eating a 1-inch piece of
fresh ginger with a few drops of lemon juice and a few pinches of
salt on it before a full meal. This activates the salivary glands
so the body can digest the food and absorb the nutrients.

Another thing to try is to make a "masala" and serve it with your
regular food. This is done by sauteing onions, garlic and ginger and
turmeric in ghee, olive oil or coconut oil. You can also add
different herbs according to your dosha. I do not know you
personally so do not know your dosha.
