Don‘t just go for ANY TREATMENT... Go for the BEST TREATMENT
Halitosis, or bad breath, is an unpleasant odour from the mouth that can be temporary or persistent. While occasional bad breath may result from certain foods or poor oral hygiene, chronic halitosis often points to gum disease, digestive issues, sinus infections, or systemic disorders. It can cause social embarrassment and emotional discomfort. Homeopathy helps by addressing the root cause, improving digestion, oral health, and glandular secretions for natural, lasting freshness.
Causes
Halitosis may result from:
- Poor oral hygiene — accumulation of food particles and plaque
- Gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis)
- Dry mouth (xerostomia) due to reduced saliva
- Tonsillitis, sinus infections, or postnasal drip
- Digestive disturbances — acidity, constipation, liver sluggishness
- Smoking, alcohol, or strong-smelling foods (onion, garlic)
- Dental issues — cavities, poorly fitted dentures, or an unclean tongue
Symptoms – What It Means for Your Body
Symptom | Explanation |
Persistent unpleasant mouth odour | Bacterial breakdown of food particles or sulfur compounds |
Dry mouth and sticky saliva | Decreased natural cleansing of the oral cavity |
White coating on the tongue | Accumulation of bacteria and debris |
Bad taste in the mouth | Digestive issues or infected gums |
Mouth discomfort or metallic taste | Gum or tooth infection |
Lifestyle & Care Tips
- Brush twice daily and clean your tongue gently with a scraper.
- Floss daily to remove trapped food particles.
- Drink plenty of water to maintain saliva flow.
- Avoid tobacco, alcohol, and strong-smelling foods.
- Gargle with lukewarm salt water or mild herbal mouthwash.
- Eat fibre-rich foods like apples and carrots that naturally clean teeth.
- Treat underlying digestive or sinus issues if present.
