It is believed that the stale saliva formed in the mouth after waking up in the morning acts like a natural medicine for the body. In Ayurveda, it has been said to be very beneficial in healing wounds, reducing skin problems and improving eye health. Especially the saliva of Brahma Muhurta is considered most effective. This saliva helps in improving health naturally by balancing the defects of the body.
We often spend a lot of money on expensive products and medicines to remove blemishes, freckles, pimples and dark circles from the face. But do you know that there is a natural medicine present in our body itself, which can help in curing all these skin problems? According to Ayurveda, stale saliva in the morning is very beneficial for the skin and body and it should never be spit out casually.
Ayurveda experts believe that oral saliva is the most powerful and free medicine of the body. The saliva in the mouth after waking up in the morning contains about 18 types of nutrients, which are found in soil and herbs. This is the reason why this saliva helps in removing many types of old wounds, skin problems like gangrene, eczema, psoriasis and facial blemishes. Applying a little stale saliva every morning on wounds that are not healing for months can gradually show improvement and the wound can even heal.
Morning saliva is also considered very beneficial for the eyes. It is said that applying the saliva accumulated in the mouth on the eyes as soon as you wake up improves eyesight, reduces redness and dark circles also start becoming lighter with time. But keep in mind that this saliva is beneficial only after waking up in the morning, because after 40–50 minutes its medicinal potency reduces and it is not as effective.
Now the question comes that what is the right time for stale saliva? According to Ayurveda and Naturopathy, the saliva produced as soon as you wake up in Brahma Muhurta, i.e. between 4 and 5 in the morning, is most rich in medicinal properties. Its pH level is around 8.4, which helps in balancing many problems of the body and is quite alkaline.
