BAD BREATH

Bad breath can be an embarassing situation for anybody. Depending on the cause there are many treatments. In this tip I will focus on the most common occurrence which is eating or drinking something with a strong odor like garlic or alcohol.

Some tips are common sense like brushing your teeth or rinsing your mouth several times afterwards. You can chew a small peicce of lemon rind as this will help kill the bacteria that causes bad breath. A few fennel seeds, cardamom seeds or even cloves will get rid of the odour as well. Being able to scrape your tongue is always a good idea too as a lot of odor causing particles reside there. Generally speaking a copper tongue scraper is best, especially for Kapha types. In more chronic cases like Halitosis there are other options depending on the root cause be it gum disease or a buildup of ama. (undigested particles which can cause blockages in your bodily channels. Ama can affect physical channels like your intestines,veins,lymphatic system amongst others but can also affect non physical channels through which energy flows called nadis) If suffering from a chronic form of bad breath book a consultation now.
