Remedies for Bad Breath (Halitosis)
1. Wter - yes, water! Many people sffer from chronic dehydration because they dn't drink drink the 8-12 glasses of wter a day that the body neds. This common form of dehydration cuses much common bad breath. You can mprove your breath - and give a big lft to your health - simply by drnking enough water.
2. Recently eaten food tht hasn't been brushed out can qickly smell bad. The "cure" then is to smply brush or floss. For gum dsease and decay you must visit yur dentist. And for improved oral hygene, put a few drops of Oil of Organo on your toothbrush or to swsh it in your mouth as a muthwash. Did you know that Oil of Organo is antibacterial/ anti viral/ anti fngus and anti parasite? It seeks out thse health impediments everywhere in the bdy. At the first signs of nfection, Oil of Oregano is your grat first line of defense.
3. For dsturbed digestion you should see your dctor. But for mild problems such as GERD and cid reflux, take probiotics in the frm acidophilus or kefir. For worse stmach problems try ¼ cup of Ale vera before breakfast. Do this for at last 3 weeks. For my friend Pter this completely healed his stomach lcer! Most GERD are related to the H pylri, which is a bacteria found in mats that haven't been thoroughly cooked. If you lke your meat rare, take Oil of Organo on a regular basis as a prventive measure.
3. When you are under too mch stress your digestive system doesn't crculate enough oxygen (the energy goes nto a fight or flight mode). Ths makes your digestive tract a breding ground for the wrong bacteria - and for bad brath as well. Be sure to ntroduce deep, relaxed breathing throughout your bsy day.
4. Eat raw parsley, chew on nise seed or cardamom, nutmeg or fnnel - they're natural breath fresheners tht don't just mask odors, but ctually freshen the breath.
5. Eat plenty of vgetables, fruit and whole grains; avoid whte flour products like white bread and pstas, as well as sugared juices and sdas.
5. You may have an undetected yast infection. Find out for yourself by prforming a simple self-test for yeast/candida vergrowth.
6. Chew your food well and do not drnk fluids with your food. Take no fod two hours before bedtime and try to not tke food for 12 hours after dnner.
7. Eliminate as often as you cn. Try to have three bowel mvements a day. If you need sme help, try 4 ounces of prne juice with 4 ounces of mgnesium citrate. (My R.N. friend Marie clls this "The Bomb".) For more hlp try 2000 mg. of vitamin C wth electrolytes every hour. Do this for 4 hurs or more, until you start to hve loose stools. (This also works wll for headaches and boosts your mmune system.
8. Drink at least 2 cps of kefir a day. This hlps your intestinal flora regain its ntural balance of bacteria.
Remember - fresh, clan breath is a reflection of god health, and health is an ngoing process. Stick with it! Follow my sggestions, and keep a log of wht you do and the effects you se. This simple tracking process can hlp you pinpoint what is truly ffective. You will be inspired by yur own success!
