Bad breath cure or Home remedy for bad breath
Halitosis refers to foul or bad breath, which is not an uncommon condition. Unfortunately, most people who offend in this respect are completely unaware of their problem.
Halitosis symptom
Bad breath
The most obvious sign of bad breath is when you smell your own breath! Put a handkerchief or even blow on your palm and smell. If the smell is odorous, you have bad breath.
Halitosis causes
Halitosis Symptoms, Causes, Remedy and Diet
Diseased gums, dental decay
The most common cause of bad breath (halitosis) is diseased gums. Dental decay at the roots of the teeth may result in abscesses in the gums with foul-smelling pus, giving an objectionable odour to the breath. Even small holes in the teeth may provide a place where germs can multiply and release foul odours.
Conditions of nose, throat and Respiratory tract
Other causes of bad breath are conditions of the nose, throat, respiratory tract, or stomach which are associated with chronic infection or local upsets of one sort or another, such as chronic tonsillitis, lung diseases like chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis, chronic gastritis, and sinusitis which causes a discharge at the back of the throat. Many cases of bad breath, however, are caused by gastro-intestinal disorders, intestinal sluggishness and particularly by chronic constipation.

| Hydrogen peroxide mouthwash. After brushing your teeth normally, brush your tongue as well. Rinse as usual, then get a bottle of hydrogen peroxide from the chemist or supermarket, one capfull of water in your mouth, then one capfull of h/p. Pretend it's a mouthwash and rinse it around in your mouth for about a minute and a half. Be careful not to swallow any as it will make you feel sick. Spit it all out and rinse with water, then drink a few mouthfuls of water.
Do this once in the morning and once at night. |

| Try rice milk,[I use a brand called Rice Dream] drink lots of it, and swill it round your mouth like a mouth wash. It seems to neutralise bad breath nearly instantly on most occasions. My other life-saver is a brand of toothpaste called parodontax. If breath is really bad keep it in the mouth for a minute or so, spit it out and don't rinse. It is supposed to be based on natural plant extracts and is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline.I still have bad breath periodically but these things really help me control it when I get it. |
