Bad breath is surely an embarrassing way to get noticed. Whether it’s at the workplace, dating, or your general interactions with anybody, there are people strongly offended by bad breath. Here are easy steps to remember to finally end a bad breath problem.
- Use hydrogen peroxide mixed with water twice a day only ONCE in two weeks. Overdoing the process can affect the strength of your teeth, and you don’t want the bad breath to end at the expense of cracked enamel. This formulation is enough to kill the bacteria that are responsible for offensive breath.
- Opt for meal choices that will help you smell a bit better. Mint teas, jasmine and chamomile teas and lemon balms can freshen up your mouth and conceal the bad odors. No sugar, please. The chemical reactions of our digestive system with sugar are just enough to ruin the bad breath cleaning. Eat raw cilantro, a bit of raw ginger, cinnamon and scallions instead. As you eat them raw, they will naturalize the chemicals in your colon bacteria and can help you maintain good breath.
- Your colon is primarily responsible for the odors your body is producing. Either the bad odor goes out of the skin, out of the anus, or out of the mouth. Of course, any of these three can be embarrassing. To stop bad breath embarrassment, do colon cleansings regularly.
There are laxatives available on the market; just make sure they are prescribed and recommended by a physician. Herbal laxatives are also good options to try. Fruit diets are also good ways to cleanse in conjunction with the teas mentioned above. Clean out the garbage from your colon and you’ll definitely reach farther in cleaning your breath as well. More bran and fiber in your diet helps in colon cleansing, too.
- It may also be a fungal infection along with a bacterial infection that is causing your bad breath. If you suspect both, it might be safe to gargle Bactidol or some other anti-bacterial and anti-fungal mouth wash available in stores. One way to find out is when you experience throat, tongue and palate itches more than twice a day. Though if you don’t experience any of these symptoms, you may still have them but may not be aware of them.
- Finally, don’t forget your tongue and palates. They also need to be cleaned and scraped because that’s where bacteria love to thrive and clump. Once they do, the cause is bad, offensive breath. A soft toothbrush will do the trick, or you can also use a specialized tongue scraper. If you see a thick white layer on your tongue, that’s the source of your problem. Just make sure you don’t injure your tongue with too much cleaning. The white part that scrapes off is what you need to get rid of. Some of the whites are your taste buds, so you need to be careful if you’re just getting rid of bad breath.
