For patients with bad breath caused by liver heat, the first priority is of course to clear liver heat. Perhaps you don’t understand how liver heat is related to bad breath? The simplest explanation is that liver heat can cause a person to have a bitter and dry mouth.

If you find the taste bitter, you can add honey to reduce the bitterness. in addition. You can also make your own mouthwash by making tea with the above prescription and adding mulberry bark (to clear lung heat). It is especially suitable for smokers to enjoy.
