I�m thinking in particular about Biofeedback used to train the body to effect changes in heart rate, respiration, or skin temperature. Seems that the autonomic nervous system once thought to be an automatic response to certain conditions in the body, can be controlled with training in Biofeedback. Have there been any research or studies done to determine whether Biofeedback could be used to increase saliva production?
