Some diseases, medicines, food may be the cause of bad breath, which results from a bacterial causes of odor. Unless specifically identify the cause and treat it effectively, some natural slopes should be explored.
What causes bad breath (or halitosis)?
The thousands of bacteria that thrive in our mouth produce waste that could generate odors (sulphurous smell) and contribute to the formation of plaque.
Of course, some foods than others (onions, garlic, cheese …) are also bad breath, but it is usually temporary. Tobacco, alcohol and excessive consumption of coffee for example, can also generate odors more sustainable. A non-rigorous oral hygiene, a disease of the gums, a dental abscess, an infection of the sinuses, some diseases, certain medications (antidepressants, antihistamines, sleeping pills, against arthritis, hypertension …) and in general everything contributing to dry mouth, are also sometimes cause bad breath. Indeed, the bacteria cause bad breath grow more easily in dry.
How naturally fight against bad breath?
In case of bad breath or mild to moderate in the absence of cases identified, several avenues can be explored to improve his breath. Obviously, oral hygiene must be perfect (brushing after meals, floss, dental jets, annual visit to the dentist).
1) Drink enough and water regularly throughout the day. This way you are fighting against the dry mouth and you eliminate some of the oral bacteria responsible for the unpleasant odor.
2) Maximize your salivation throughout the day. The act of eating an orange for example, which contains citric acid, stimulates saliva production and helps eliminate bacteria. In this way the breath is refreshed. You can also chew gum, but make sure they are sugar-free because otherwise the sugar promotes the proliferation of bacteria.
3) Use plants and foods virtues antibacterial, antiseptic and deodorizing natural. Eat fresh parsley for example (rich in chlorophyll it is antibacterial). A nail biting cloves, a cinnamon stick, fennel seeds, dill, cardamom and anise. Use essential oils mouthwash, gargle in (hot), or by directly applying a drop on the toothbrush or language: peppermint, lemon, rosemary, tea tree, cloves, lavender, nutmeg, thyme.
4) Use a high-language. Otherwise, scrape your language on your teeth, or with a small spoon or brush your language with your toothbrush (You can also give your palate and inside your cheeks).
5) Disinfect: choose a toothpaste containing the essential oil of tea tree (below 0.2%), clean your toothbrush in a little hydrogen peroxide (rinse it well before then l ‘use) and change it every 2-3 months.
6) On the mouth, avoid those containing alcohol because they dry mouth and worsen the problem of breath. Overall, beware of commercial products (those containing alcohol and sugar are forbidden) and instead ask advice from your dentist or pharmacist.
7) Do not skip meals. The more you stay long on an empty stomach, your mouth dries more and more bacteria proliferate (hence the term typical alarm clock). The schemes are also hyperprotéinés to avoid because they often result in halitosis (acetone production by the body).
