How to stop bad breath from mouth naturally?
Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can be an embarrassing problem to deal with. While there are several causes of bad breath, including poor oral hygiene, dry mouth, and certain foods, there are also several natural remedies you can use to combat bad breath.
One natural remedy is to use vinegar mouthwash, as vinegar contains acetic acid, which can reduce bacteria growth in the mouth [1]. Another remedy is to brush your tongue or use a tongue scraper when you brush your teeth, as food particles can get stuck on the tongue and contribute to bad breath [2].
Tea tree oil rinse, cinnamon oil, and probiotic yogurt and kefir are also recommended remedies for bad breath [3]. Additionally, rinsing with warm salt water can help kill bacteria and reduce bad breath [4].
Drinking plenty of water can also help combat bad breath by keeping the mouth hydrated and reducing the amount of bacteria that can grow in a dry mouth [5]. Practicing good oral hygiene, such as brushing twice a day, cleaning your tongue, regular flossing, and using a plaque-reducing mouthwash, can also prevent bad breath [6].
Another natural remedy is using aloe vera, which has been shown to be as effective as chlorhexidine mouthwash in reducing plaque and improving the mouth's ability to heal [7]. Finally, brushing your teeth with baking soda can help neutralize the bacteria that cause bad breath [8].
In addition to these remedies, performing nose clearing exercises and practicing nose breathing can also help reduce bad breath by promoting proper breathing and reducing the amount of bacteria in the mouth and sinuses [9][10].
In conclusion, there are many natural remedies you can use to combat bad breath. By incorporating these remedies into your daily routine and maintaining good oral hygiene, you can reduce the amount of bacteria in your mouth and keep your breath smelling fresh.
