Halitosis is not only a problem related to the mouth, but is also deeply related to the stomach. Digestive problems can also cause bad breath. Ayurveda offers natural remedies that can be followed daily to get rid of bad breath. Dehydration can also cause bad breath. Ayurveda describes four methods for oral health: brushing, oil pulling, tongue cleaning and gargling. Following these methods will eliminate bad breath, strengthen teeth, treat bleeding gums and keep your teeth bright.
How to get rid of bad breath permanently
Brushing should be the first step. Nowadays, everyone depends on plastic brushes. So, use more fluoride-based toothpaste and brush your teeth gently.
Vigorous brushing weakens the gums. Ayurveda recommends brushing teeth with neem sprigs, as they have antibacterial properties that cleanse both the teeth and the stomach. Herbal tooth powder can also be used.
After brushing, oil pulling should be done. The oil pulls away the bacteria hiding in the corners of the teeth and prevents the accumulation of plaque. Coconut oil, olive oil and sesame oil can be used for oil pulling. Remember to keep the penis in the mouth for 2 to 3 minutes and then throw it away.
Tongue hygiene is also important, as brushing cleans the teeth but leaves the tongue behind. The tongue contains a large number of bacteria, which stick to it after eating. Gently clean the tongue with a scraper.
Gargling is considered essential in Ayurveda as it helps clear bacteria from the throat. It is possible to gargle with salt in warm water. Basil and turmeric can also be added to the water.
