Do foods, nausea, and odors trigger hypersalivation?
Question asked:
“Certain foods, nausea, and strong odors are common lifestyle triggers for hypersalivation.”
Summary
Foods and their odors commonly stimulate saliva production, and nausea is frequently associated with increased salivation. Strong odors, especially those linked to palatable foods, also trigger hypersalivation as part of the cephalic-phase response. These factors are recognized as typical lifestyle triggers for excessive saliva.

- Hypersalivation - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Hypersalivation is an increase in saliva production, is often experienced prior to vomiting, and is thought to result from the proximity of the proposed vomiting center in the medulla to the medullary control center for salivation. ... Tachycardia (increased heart rate) usually accompanies nausea, and retching is accompanied by bradycardia (decreased heart rate).
- A stepwise approach investigating salivary responses upon multisensory food cues - ScienceDirect
Previous reports suggest that (multi)sensory food cues may signal the nutrient composition of the foods leading to cephalic-phase salivary responses to facilitate ingestion and further digestion [[1], [4]]. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to systematically determine the influence of different levels of sensory stimulation (2 anticipatory levels (Odor and Odor + Vision) and 2 consummatory levels (Odor + Vision + Taste and Odor + Vision + Taste + Mastication), and specific food products (bread and cucumber, which vary in their starch content) on cephalic-phase salivary response.
- Impact of food odors signaling specific taste qualities and macronutrient content on saliva secretion and composition - ScienceDirect
Exposure to food odors induces saliva secretion rate in anticipation of actual eating behavior, but did not affect the specific composition of the saliva. This does not support the hypothesis that changes in salivary composition upon olfactory ...

The anticipatory physiological responses to food odours (considered in the cephalic phase of response to ingestion) intend to prepare the body for ingestion and digestion of foods [8]. There is empirical and scientific evidence that the odour of a palatable food induces saliva secretion.

... The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ambient odor exposure on appetite, salivation and food intake. 32 normal-weight young women (age: 21.4±5.3year; BMI: 21.7±1.9kg/m2) attended five test sessions in a non-satiated state.

Like other gastrointestinal conditions, nausea can lead to hypersalivation. Acid reflux is a condition that causes digestive juices to temporarily enter the esophagus. GERD is when you experience acid reflux more than twice a week.
