What is Bad Breath? Bad breath can result from gum disease, tooth decay, blocked sinuses, a throat infection, illness, digestive disorders, or fasting.
Often, however, it is caused by food debris stuck between teeth, by the build-up of plaque or by particularly smelly foods, alcohol or tobacco.
Good dental hygiene and minor changes to your eating and drinking habits are often enough to correct the problem.
How to Avoid Bad Breath?
Avoid drinking coffee and alcohol, or smoking, all of which contribute to bad breath. Sugar contributes to plaque buildup so you should also try to reduce your intake. Chewing parsley, rosemary, clove, cardamom or dill seeds after a spicy or garlicky meal can neutralize the smell. Peppermint tea also refreshes the breath after eating. Avoid onions, garlic and spicy or strongly flavored foods if you are concerned about your breath.

For breath that smells sour in the morning, after a stomach upset or after eating and drinking too much, try the homeo-pathic remedy Nux vomica 6c up to 4 times a day for 7 days.

Don’t forget to brush your teeth regularly and thoroughly. Floss between your teeth every day and use plaque disclosing tablets once a week to reveal areas of plaque buildup. See a dentist and dental hygienist regularly.
