Excessive Salivation

Your mouth is overflowing. Not in the metaphorical sense — literally. The saliva collects before you need it. Sometimes so strongly that you constantly have to swallow. Sometimes before an important conversation, an exam, a performance. Sometimes simply in the middle of everyday life, with no recognizable cause.

Medicine knows many causes: certain medications, dental problems, reflux, neurological conditions, pregnancy. And yet, for many people with excessive salivation, something remains that cannot be explained by the physical alone — an excess of inner movement, a body preparing for something that isn't actually happening.
