Patient's question:
How come I always have bad breath? I don't even dare to talk to others. What's going on? How can I treat it?Doctor's answer:
Halitosis is generally caused by stomach fire, which manifests as swollen and painful gums, bad breath, restlessness and easy hunger, and constipation. It is an inflammation resulting from the intense heat turning into fire in the stomach. Drinking more tea regularly can be effective. Green tea contains catechins, and black tea contains theaflavins, both of which can thoroughly eliminate bad breath. You can take some stomach-clearing powder for conditioning, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, especially those rich in fiber such as oats, buckwheat, and cornmeal. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. In addition to active treatment, patients with halitosis should pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease.
