Halitosis
The most common cause of halitosis or bad breath is poor dental hygiene. Other factors may contribute to this problem, however, including gum disease, tooth decay, nose or throat infection, poor diet, constipation, smoking, alcohol consumption, diabetes, indigestion and stress.
How Alternative Medicine may potentially help?
There are many herbs that may help eliminate the odor of halitosis. Other nutrients might be effective in healing gum disease and killing bacteria that cause halitosis.
Herbs
 | Alfalfa may help to cleanse the colon. |
| Myrrh can be used to rinse the mouth. |
| Parsley has qualities that may promote fresh breath. |
| Chlorophyll may help to cleanse the colon. |
Vitamins
| Vitamin C plays an important role in healing mouth and gum disease. |
| Vitamin A can potentially be useful for controlling infection in the mouth. |
Minerals
| Zinc has properties that may have an antibacterial effect. |
Other Considerations
Try to avoid foods that easily get stuck between the teeth. This can cause tooth decay and halitosis.
