Now, we can add pain killers to the list of useful substances found in saliva: a team of neuroendocrinologists at the Pasteur Institute in Paris have found that human saliva contains an analgesic neuropeptide. The peptide, which has been named opiorphin, is six times more potent than morphine....

In child hood while palying if we get minor wound we use to put our SPIT on wound to STOP bleeding, and don't you belive but the wound get heal soon with stoping the bleeding.

Still today for imergency first aid I still use SPIT (in pvt.), there is nothing inovate new as in Inida we use the same thing from 100's of years.

But we Indian have mentality that what we have is Residual and what WEST (US/Europe) will give us is BEST.
