- On Day 7 of "A.G.E.S. Fall Conference Docuseries," Dr. Henry Ealy highlights that salivation during focused breathwork is a sign the body has entered a deep healing state.
- He explains that slow, diaphragmatic breathing shifts the nervous system into a restorative "rest and digest" state.
- This mindful state signals safety to the brain, which then produces saliva rich in therapeutic enzymes and proteins.
- Swallowing this saliva initiates digestion, supporting gut health and creating a positive feedback loop for calm.
- The session underscored that such meditation is an active process to unlock the body's innate, self-healing capacity.

On Day 7 of "A.G.E.S. Fall Conference Docuseries," airing on Feb. 27, Dr. Henry Ealy highlights a subtle yet powerful sign of the body entering a deep healing state. As participants focused on their breath and energy points, he observed, "Our mouths begin to salivate. Swallow the saliva. That's medicine your body is making for you."
This statement, seemingly simple, opens a fascinating window into the biochemistry of mindfulness and meditation, framing them not merely as mental exercises but as direct catalysts for internal pharmacy production.
The process begins with the specific breathwork being taught. The slow, deep diaphragmatic breathing, expanding the “hara” or lower abdomen, triggers a shift from the stress-driven sympathetic nervous system to the restorative parasympathetic nervous system, often called the "rest and digest" state.
As noted by BrightU.AI's Enoch, "Slow, deep diaphragmatic breathing involves inhaling fully into the lower lungs first, then the mid-lungs and finally the upper lungs, before relaxing the shoulders and pushing the breath down. This method dramatically reduces breaths per minute, enhancing efficiency and conserving vital energy." This switch is the critical on-ramp to healing.
"When you're meditating, it locks me right into the rhythm of my own breath," Ealy noted, emphasizing the importance of present-moment focus. This mindful state and controlled breathing signal safety to the brain, which in turn activates the salivary glands. But this isn't just water. The saliva produced during deep parasympathetic activation is rich with digestive enzymes like amylase and lysozyme, along with immunoglobulins, growth factors and beneficial proteins. It is, in essence, a customized therapeutic cocktail.
The act of swallowing this "medicine" then initiates the digestive process, further promoting gut health, a foundation of overall immunity and wellness. This creates a positive feedback loop: calm breathing induces healing saliva production, which supports the digestive system, which in turn reinforces a state of physical calm.
Ealy's guidance positioned this automatic function as a dramatic internal mechanism. "Meditation is about you and your relationship with your creator. It is sacred ground," he said, elevating the practice from routine to ritual. The goal, he clarified, is "not emptiness. It's stillness. It's calm." In that stillness, the body's innate intelligence takes over, manufacturing and delivering its own remedies.
Ultimately, this insight demystifies a core principle of holistic health: The body possesses an extraordinary, built-in capacity to heal itself. Meditation and mindful breathwork are the keys that unlock this pharmacy, starting with something as accessible as a single, mindful swallow.
