Biography: Martha Rowe

Abstract

A dry mouth syndrome occurs when there is not enough saliva (spit) in the mouth. A dry mouth is a symptom of an underlying problem, rather than a disease in itself. Causes may include drugs or medication, dehydration, mouth breathing, Sjogren's syndrome, infection, nerve problems and some cancer treatments.  Our research aims were Investigate effects of papaya enzymes in patients with dry mouth, Create a product that super cedes current products on the market, Determine microbiological and immunological outcomes and Investigate Quality of Life Measures.  Our results found categorically that papya enzymes assist with maintaining a clean and moistened mouth, free of bacteria and assisted with the increase in saliva flow.
