Halitosis - How to Reduce Bad Breath Naturally

Much has been written already on how to reduce halitosis or bad breath, perhaps too much. This is because despite the volume of what is written this problem persists to bother much of our population. Some experts say 20 to 50 percent of our population are so bothered.

There have been many prescriptions already on the elimination or control of foul odor from our mouth. Some of these include oral hygiene, avoidance of smoking, foods and drinks that cause bad breath, particularly alcohol.

Tips on Controlling Bad Breath

There have been many tips for the remedy of halitosis. These tips include brushing and flossing the teeth, rinsing the mouth, avoidance of foods and drinks with strong odor, keeping a well balanced diet, taking vitamin C to help the gums, eating yogurt, cheese, peanuts, and other foods that fight plaque build-up, eating less meat and more vegetables and fruits.

I myself had this problem for many years. And I tried so many ways to eliminate or reduce my bad breath. These included using special kinds of toothpaste, some of them very expensive, rinsing the mouth after eating, eating only vegetarian foods, chewing gums, etc. And yet the bad breath persisted. Naturally I would be embarrassed, especially when people came near me.

But here I will reveal what finally made me get rid of bad breath naturally. And you can try the same thing. I hope that you will also be successful in getting rid of this problem in your life.

Combination That Gets Rid of Bad Breath

It is a mixture of ordinary sugar, glucose, eucalyptus oil and citric acid. This mixture is found in some candies that are sold in ordinary stores.

I took this mixture for one week and my bad breath was gone.

I have also recommended this mixture to my close friends and they also have experienced the same result.

I discovered this by accident. I was also a victim before of abdominal pains. Whether the aches came from my intestines, or from my stomach, my gall bladder, or other parts of my abdomen I did not know. I used to take some anti-acid to get rid of these aches.

But one time having no anti-acid, like any of these cremaline drugs, I took this mixture of ordinary sugar, glucose, eucalyptus oil and citric acid found in an ordinary candy. I experienced instant relief. When an ache would attack again I would take again this mixture. And I would experience instant relief. Until the time came when the stomach aches were gone.

I noticed also that my bad breath disappeared. I do not have to take this mixture again and again. I just take it if I have some stomach ache. But as of this writing this is very rare now.

Different Theory About the Cause of Bad Breath

Having experienced this I have a different theory as to the cause of bad breath. Researchers say that it comes from the mouth. They also say that it cannot come from the stomach because the esophagus is a closed and collapsed tube. But my theory is that some kind of bad breath may come from the stomach, not directly because the passage way is a closed and collapsed tube but indirectly.

I base my theory on the fact that babies usually do not have bad breath. In fact they have a sweet smelling, pleasant breath. This is the case before they are able to eat meat. When they grow up and eat all sorts of foods, this pleasant breath disappears. Instead a foul breath begins to develop. Why do they have a pleasant breath when they are still babies? Probably it is because their stomach and intestines are still clean of food that rots, like meat.

But this is only a theory. More research needs to be done along this line.

But the fact remains that this mixture of ordinary sugar, glucose, eucalyptus oil and citric acid has eliminated bad breath from me and my close friends for the rest of our life. It is our way of reducing and even eliminating bad breath naturally. Look for these ingredients in the wrapper of candies in the store near you. It may help you a long way in reducing or even eliminating your bad breath.

The name of this candy in the Philippines is Snowbear Menthol Ball, manufactured by The Candymaker Incorporated.

Halitosis - How Bad Breath Can Affect Your Life

There are some bad things which when viewed from a different perspective are not so bad at all. In fact some of these bad things are a blessing. Many of us have heard or read the story of that young Chinese man who was exempted from serving in the army because he broke his bone while riding a horse. Having a broken bone is an evil, but being exempted from serving the army was a great blessing. But this is not the case with halitosis or bad breath.

No Good Thing in It Whatsoever

There is nothing I can think of that is good which we can get from bad breath no matter from what perspective we see it. It is bad and it causes bad things to happen in our life. Maybe the only good it can bring about is that we are prevented from whispering vulgar or obscene words to our close friends. But only on the condition that we are aware that we are emitting foul odor from our mouth. If we are not aware, we cannot even perform this act of kindness, of not breathing out foul odor to our friend.

Maybe another good thing bad breath can bring is for the cosmetics and drug manufacturers to make money by producing would be cures for this problem. But this does no good to the sufferer of halitosis. It only drains her pocket.

What is worse is that there is a tendency that we cannot detect it ourselves because our sense of smell has become used to the foul odor.

Foul odor from the mouth can affect you life for the worse when you are not aware of it. When you are aware you can fall victim to halitophobia, an excessive fear of bad breath.

I was for many years a victim of this foul odor from my mouth. I know from first hand experience how it can be embarrassing to me and to others and how it affects relationships, especially of the most intimate kind. It was a great relief when finally I got rid of this problem for the rest of my life.

Some data say that bad breath affects 20 to 50 percent of the population. That means it affects billions of people all over the world.

Negative Effects of Halitosis

The first negative effect halitosis can give to your life is in your social life. You will be wondering why people do not move near you and you may even notice that they go away from you. Some of those who go near you may give you a candy, a gum or a mint. At first you think they are kind to you by giving you something to chew upon. But when this happens again and again, you begin to wonder why. You will be and will feel embarrassed.

It can cause embarrassment when you see people putting handkerchief over their nose and mouth when they talk to you. It can increase your stress when working on something close with people. You become reluctant to engage in normal social activities, like dancing. If you always chew a gum, people may wonder and you look like a goat to them. People will be wondering why you yourself keep a handkerchief over your mouth. Halitosis can severely affect your personal relationships, even breaking them. It may even affect your marriage, especially in the morning after rising from sleep.

The second bad effect is in your career. People who interview you for a job are likely to think twice before accepting you as an employee even if your records speak highly of you. They would naturally not want to associate with someone whose mouth exudes foul odor.

During meetings you will notice that people will stay some distance away from you and you wonder why they avoid being close to you.

An important contract may not be signed simply because your would-be partner in the business venture does not like your foul breath.

Thirdly, if you tried several ways to get rid of it and you have not been successful, you think that you are condemned to this problem for the rest of your life. And your self-esteem suffers. And you are stressed.

Fourthly, when this problem is not properly dealt with this can cause discomforts and even diseases in your body. The bacteria that cause this foul odor are messengers also of diseases.

Finally, the worst affliction halitosis can give you is a low and lowering self-esteem. You become insecure about your self. Your self-confidence is undermined. You think you cannot be on the same level with other people. And then you cannot perform as best you can because of this problem.

I almost forgot. Maybe there is one good thing halitosis can give you. You may realize your body is not that clean as you think it is. And you take steps to remedy this situation, like eating less meat.

If such is the case, get rid of your bad breath.
