  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "An artificial saliva spray formulation containing cumin and ginger extract, that has potential anti-xerostomia activity. Upon direct oral application of the cumin/ginger extract-based artificial saliva spray, a protective film of moisture is deposited over the mucous membranes of the mouth, which relieves dryness of the mucous membranes and increases salivary flow. Ginger and cumin may increase salivation and reduce xerostomia. In addition, this artificial saliva spray may help prevent chemotherapy- or radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis.",
