The reasearchers also state that for the same reason, the wounds in the mouth, like those of a tooth extraction, heal much faster than comparable wounds of the skin and bone.'
its a strange thing that licking wounds help to heal them faster....but its just impossible to do......thanks deepti for sharing this information......
That is the natural way of treating wounds, our forefathers used to do it all the time. ANimals still do! Saliva contains natural antiseptics which is why when we cut a finger we still stick the finger in our mouth to stop the bleeding!!

You are absolutely right Kalyani... Unknowingly we also do this... As soon as we cut our finger, we put in mouth as it feels soothing.
My son puts his finger in my mouth when he gets hurt.. :P
Yes it is true and i even heard that early morning when we wake up without brushing we can use the saliva to treat pimples..Dont know whether it works..but weird to hear.. :blink: :)
