The saliva in the mouth is divided into two types: the thin saliva is called salivarius, which is controlled by the spleen; the thick saliva is called spit, which is controlled by the kidneys. Human saliva contains a variety of beneficial substances, which have the functions of aiding digestion, neutralizing stomach acid, antibacterial, and enhancing immunity.

You can eat more black sesame seeds, black fungus, black rice, blackberries, black beans, etc. to nourish your kidneys, replenish body fluids, and reduce the risk of illness.
