Tips to quickly get rid of bad breath

Bad breath is something we often encounter in our lives. Basically, the cause of bad breath is due to not paying attention to personal hygiene. Some are caused by some underlying diseases. Once bad breath occurs, it will make people feel embarrassed during communication, and even feel very embarrassed. If this continues for a long time, it will only make people feel inferior. Therefore, it is best to solve the problem of bad breath as soon as possible. In fact, the treatment of bad breath does not necessarily require medication, and it must also be assisted by diet.

Liver heat type: bad breath and kidney yin deficiency

Spontaneous bad breath can be roughly divided into three types: liver heat type, stomach fire type, and mixed type (i.e. liver heat and stomach fire).

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. When there is insufficient moisture in the mouth, bacteria naturally increase, causing a "bad taste" as soon as the mouth opens.

As for where does liver heat come from? There are at least two main culprits: (1) staying up late; (2) eating hot foods. The similarity between these two causes is that they cause congestion in the liver, resulting in what Chinese medicine calls "liver heat."

People who stay up late have their normal rest schedule disrupted, and the liver cannot rest and detoxify as scheduled, so they have to work overtime to remove accumulated impurities and toxins in the body. This undoubtedly increases the burden on the liver itself. According to the theory of Zang-Xiang, the liver belongs to wood and the kidney belongs to water, and water produces wood, so when the liver fire rises, the kidney water will be reduced in disguise. The liver and kidneys may sound unrelated, but they are actually closely related. When a person stays up all night, not only will his liver fire be strong, but his kidney water will also be insufficient.

Medicine and food go hand in hand

In terms of medical treatment, first use golden chrysanthemum, cyperus rotundus, selfhealing herb, white peony root and other herbs that can calm the liver and extinguish fire to decoct them together and drink it every day. In addition, adding yin-nourishing substances such as Dendrobium can nourish kidney water and make the liver and kidneys more balanced.

For those with too hot liver, you can boil water with white chrysanthemum, selfheal and white peony root and drink it as water on daily basis. 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.

If you want to quickly get rid of your bad breath problem, you must use a two-pronged approach through diet and medication. However, as for medication, basically they are Chinese patent medicines, or directly Chinese herbal medicines. This way, your body system will not be confused, because bad breath itself is caused by excessive liver fire in your body. It is also best to drink more boiled water to dilute your bad breath.
