BAD BREATH: (MUUN KI BUDBOO)

BAD BREATH: (MUUN KI BUDBOO)

Let’s face it, bad breath is embarrassing. The


 good news is that for the most part—with


 proper dental care—bad breath, also called 


halitosis, can be avoided. Maintaining good oral 


health is essential to reducing bad breath, as 


bacteria that builds up on the back of your 


tongue or in between your teeth is the main


 culprit. Bad breath can be caused by foods,


 smoking, dry mouth, medical conditions, gum 


disease and sinus conditions. No wonder dental


 hygiene is such big business.

Bad breath can have disastrous consequences 


on your confidence and love life (in fact often on 


your social life as well). However, the following 


quick fix home remedies can help you get rid of 


this problem-


Brush your tongue

Most people overlook their tongue.Your tongue 


is covered with little hair-like projections, which


 under a microscope look like a forest of 


mushrooms. Under the caps of the 'mushrooms,' 


there's room to harbor plaque and some of the 


things we eat. That causes bad breath."

His advice? While brushing, gently sweep the


 top of your tongue, too, so that you don't leave


 food and bacteria behind to breed bad breath.

Eat your parsley

Parsley adds more than green to your lunch


 plate; it's also a breath-saver, because it


 contains chlorophyll, a known breath 


deodorizer. So pick up that sprig garnishing your


 plate and chew it thoroughly. Or toss a few


 handfuls (even add some watercress to the mix)


 in a juicer. Sip the juice anytime you need to 


refresh your breath.



Herbal Mouth-Wash 

*****************

Vinegar - 1 tbsp

Warm water- 1 cup

Honey - 2 tbsps

Cloves (laung)(Powdered) - 1/2 tsp

Method - Mix together all above ingredients and


 use as a mouth wash.


TIPS:

****
• Chew a stick of clove after every meal

• Mix a teaspoon of lemon juice in lukewarm


 water and gargle with it after every meal

• Chew mint leaves after your meals

• Chewing cardamom seeds can also help in


 getting rid of bad breath

• Make yogurt a part of daily diet

• Apples also help in getting rid of bad breath by


 killing the foul odor producing bacteria in the


 mouth

• Drink lots of water, as a dry mouth often 


causes bad breath

• Snack on crunchy fruits and vegetables such


 as apples, celery, carrots or jicama. Crunchy


 foods can help remove food, bacteria and 


plaque from teeth.

• Use herbs to freshen your breath. Chew on a


 small sprig of fresh rosemary, parsley, 


spearmint, for up to a minute.
 
• Avoid mouthwashes with alcohol. Alcohol can


 dry out the mouth, which contributes to bad 


breath.

• Get help managing stress. Many people have


 bad breath that doesn't have a clearly 


identifiable cause. One small preliminary study 


found that in healthy young men with good oral 


hygiene and general health, stress increased the


 production of volatile sulfur compounds in the


mouth. 

Apart from these remedies it is absolutely


 essential to adopt good dental care habits, such


 as brushing your teeth before going to bed; 


rinsing your mouth after every meal and keeping


 your tongue clean etc. However, if nothing


 works please consult your doctor, as chronic


 bad breath could also be the result of infections


 in the throat, mouth or stomach.
