Drooling

Drooling is usually caused uncontrollably by excess saliva in the mouth. Medical conditions such as acid reflux and pregnancy can increase saliva production. Allergies, tumors, and above-the-neck infections such as strep throat, tonsil infection, and sinusitis can all impair swallowing.

Best Solution

According to acupuncture meridian theory, upper and lower lips are connected with stomach and large intestine.

Saliva is related with spleen function.

After one session, there is no more saliva leftover.

Case 2

A public speaker experiences saliva comes out from corners of lips while talking. He wipes out saliva by fingers while talking not to show to others. Saliva may be shown on corners without wiping. This makes this speaker look funny.
