Do you hesitate to talk to someone because of your bad breath? Are you searching for some home remedies to cure your bad breath? Then we are here to show you some causes and a few home remedies that will help you deal with your bad breath.
What is bad breath? What causes bad breath?
Bad breath, also called halitosis, is mostly a sign of bad dental hygiene, dry mouth, or other mouth conditions. It can also be a sign of other conditions, such as diabetes and liver and kidney diseases.
Following are some of the reasons for bad breath:
– Gum disease: Gum disease includes gingivitis (gum inflammation), trench mouth (advanced gingivitis), and periodontitis (untreated gingivitis causes periodontitis).
– Bad oral hygiene: The most common cause of bad breath is poor oral hygiene. The food substances stuck in your teeth are broken down by bacteria; this action results in a bad smell.
– Dry mouth: Dry mouth can be caused by smoking or certain medicines. Your saliva helps wash your mouth; if your mouth is unable to make sufficient saliva, it can cause your breath to smell bad.
– Tonsil stones: Food stuck in your tonsil can harden into calcium deposits known as tonsilloliths/tonsil stones.
– Gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD): A digestive disease in which the acid of the stomach returns to the food pipe (oesophagus).
– Cancer: Mouth cancer or cancer between your nose and mouth can also be responsible for causing bad breath.
– Diabetes
– Infection in the nose, throat, or lungs: Patients having Pneumonia cough up liquids that may smell foul.
– Sjogren’s syndrome: An autoimmune (the immune system attacks healthy cells) disease-causing dry mouth, dry skin, dry eyes, and muscle ache
– Kidney or liver disease
Suggested Home Remedies for Bad Breath:
1. Lemon Juice
Curing bad breath with a lemon rinse has been used for generations. The high acidic content in lemons prevents growth of bacteria on your tongue and gums.
What to do: Stir one tablespoon of lemon juice into a cup of water and rinse your mouth with it thoroughly. You can also add a bit of salt to it and rinse your mouth before going to bed. This remedy will help to solve the problem of dry mouth which is one of the main reasons behind bad breath.
