What can be done about bad breath since childhood?

Patient's question:

My husband is 22 years old. Since the divorce, his mouth has always had a slightly bad odor. During sex, I feel nauseous. It's said that alabaster can treat bad breath. I don't know if it's just a folk remedy, but can it really help?

Doctor's answer:

Calcium sulfate is a cooling herb, specifically used to address heat-related illnesses. Bad breath is often a problem of stomach fire, so using calcium sulfate is perfectly fine. Buy 10 grams of calcium sulfate from a pharmacy, steep it in half a cup of water. After steeping, there will be a layer of film on the surface, and inside the film, there will be some impurities. Remove this film and drink the middle part. Also, set aside the impurities at the bottom of the cup. Brew it for a few days in a row, and it will generally last for about three days. This formula is particularly effective for those with intense stomach fire, though it has not been tested on all populations. However, it should not be used long-term, as it can have certain side effects on the stomach and intestines.
In addition to treating bad breath, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical health and slow down the recovery process.
