Bad Breath - Halitosis!

Home Remedies.

Natural Remedies For Bad Breath:

Halitosis, the transient bad breath that everybody develops from time to time, is generally a commonplace problem induced by certain foods or drinks, smoking, or poor dental hygiene. Frequently a chemical in a few foods is to blame. The bad breath caused by consuming onions and garlic, for example, is due to a number of smelly sulfur compounds they contain. Residues of wine, beer, and other alcoholic drinks bring about a breath odor, and tobacco in any form causes your breath smell stale.

Saliva controls the mouths bacteria population. A drop-off in saliva output such as during sleep or natural decline with age, allows for bacteria, particularly at the back of the tongue, to multiply and cause plaque. This senario accounts for morning breath and the bad breath experienced by many elderly people. More relentless dry mouth may require treatment with artificial saliva sold at pharmacies.

Most bad breath can be relieved by good dental hygiene, getting rid of the offending foods from your diet, and refraining from alcohol and tobacco use. If your bad breath perseveres despite these measures, see your dental practitioner first and, if no cause is found your physician is the next person to see.

Persistent bad breath may be a sign of an underlying sickness. Some diseases such as kidney failure, liver disease, and diabetes, cause certain odors. Other problems that may cause bad breath include tonsillitis, sinus and nasal problems, bronchitis and other respiratory tract infection* and some cancers. Disorders that reduce the fow of saliva, such as lupus, also cause bad breath.

QUICK REMEDIES:

Mild bad breath can be camouflaged with a commercial mouth wash or with foods or herbs that block out the odor. Chewing a few sprigs of parsley or pepermint, or anise, dill, or fennel seeds quickly freshen up your breath. Some people report beneficial results from commercially available pills made of parsley seeds.

Antiseptic mouth washes controll bad breath by reducing oral bacteria. Products with chlorine dioxide are also good. Nonantiseptic rinses just block out the odor. To make your own rinse, steep three whole (or 1/4 teaspoon ground) cloves in hot water for 20 minutes. A commercial toothpaste with flouride, baking soda, and hydrogen peroxide cleans the teeth and freshens up your breath.

Consume plenty of water, fruit juice and sour foods to stimulate saliva flow..

Cut down on sweet foods to reduce plaque.

Avoid garlic, onions, alcohol and other foods that give breath a bad odor.
