Halitosis and Bad Breath Natural Ayurvedic Treatment

Author : Gurnam Saini  

Ayurveda treatment for bad breath in Melbourne by Pure Herbal Ayurved

Bad breath or halitosis is a commonly faced problem. Each one of us must have experienced it at some point. Bad breath is not a disease but, it is an irritating symptom that can indicate some serious ailments in the body. Besides being an irritating symptom it is socially embarrassing too.

 

Halitosis is different from the bad breath that one has in the morning caused by the bacteria feeding on the food debris in the mouth for whole of the night. It is the bad breath which stays with you the whole day, and is there to embarrass you whenever you open your mouth to talk to someone.

 

 

Brushing, flossing and rinsing mouth only provides a temporary relief from the problem. However, this condition should not be ignored and expert medical help must be sought for.

 

 

Causes of Bad Breath

 

 

The main causes of bad breath are:

 

  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Intake of food items that are smelly (e.g. onion, garlic)
  • Xerostomia (dryness of mouth) can lead to bacterial growth
  • Smoking, alcohol consumption, chewing tobacco
  • Respiratory tract infections (like cold and sinusitis), gastro-intestinal infections (like constipation, acidity and indigestion) and some kidney and liver diseases can also lead to bad breath.
  • Dieting and fasting also causes foul smell

 

Ayurvedic Halitosis Treatment with Ayurveda in Melbourne

 

 

Ayurveda believes in eradicating the disease from the system with the use of herbs. According to Ayurveda, a disease occurs due to an imbalance in the energies of the body, called doshas. It treats the disease by restoring the disturbed balance.

 

 

Kapha dosha is associated with mouth and therefore an imbalance in the kapha dosha causes halitosis. Oral hygiene, thus assumes great importance and it goes hand in hand when it comes to treating bad breath.

 

 

Pitta dosha is also responsible for bad breath. In the cases when agni or digestive fire of the pitta is vitiated it leads to improper digestion, that causes the collection of ama or toxins in different parts of the body like the digestive tract.

 

 

This undigested food starts to ferment and cause foul smell. Ayurveda uses herbs and dietary changes to treat this disease.

 

 

How to get rid of Bad Breath Halitosis with Herbs?

 

 

Halitosis can be treated through the use of natural remedies. Some of the natural herbal remedies for bad breath are as follows:

 

 

  • Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) - It boosts immunity and is an effective rejuvenating agent. It has anti-oxidant properties that improve health. It also fights disease causing bacteria and removes toxins from the body. It helps to enhance the overall health of the body.

​

  • Haridra (Curcuma longa) - It is one of most used herbs in Ayurveda. It has anti- inflammatory, blood purifying and immunity enhancing properties. It has good curcumin which lends haridra its preventive and curative properties.

​

  • Mulethi (Glycyrrhiza glabra) - It is an excellent natural remedy for promoting oral health. Its anti- bacterial and anti-microbial properties prevent cavities and plaque, keep the teeth and gums healthy and strong and fight bad breath too.

​

  • Neem (Azadirachta indica) - It is considered to be a miracle treatment for halitosis. Its anti-fungal and anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties help prevent the bad breath. Its leaves are widely used for the treatment of gingivitis.

​

  • Amla (Phyllanthus emblica) - It controls bad breath and strengthens teeth. It is also known to control mouth ulcers. Rinsing the mouth with amla juice cleanses the mouth and prevents bad breath.  

 

 

All the above mentioned herbs are used in different combinations and proportions by ayurvedic practitioners to form natural solutions for bad breath.

 

 

How to treat Bad Breath with Some Home Remedies?

 

 

Bad breath is a big turn off and socially embarrassing too. But you need not worry, there are some natural home remedies for bad breath that will definitely help you find a solution to this problem. Some of them worth considering are mentioned below:

 

 

  • Mint leaves- Chewing mint leaves is one of the best remedies for bad breath. It will refresh your breath and leave a pleasant smell. The chlorophyll present in the leaves absorbs all the foul odours in the breath.

​

  • Brush using baking soda- Baking soda has hydrogen peroxide that neutralises the acid present in the mouth. Acidic environment in the mouth serves as a perfect breeding ground for bacterial growth that results in foul smell. Just wet your tooth brush, sprinkle some baking soda on it and brush your teeth for an odour free breath.

​

  • Eat apples- Apples are nature’s tooth brush. Chew apples properly while eating them as they eliminate many bad breath causing bacteria.

​

  • Vitamin C- Vitamin C will help combat the growth of bacteria in your mouth. Include veggies and fruits like oranges, lemons, carrots for a good supply of vitamin C.

​

  • Yogurt- Binge on yogurt, it can help you get rid of chronic bad breath. Have it continuously for six weeks and see the difference for yourself.

​

  • Chew cardamom- Chewing cardamom will freshen up your breath and leave your breath with a pleasant smell.

​

  • Chewing parsley- It is used for garnishing various cuisines. Chewing parsley helps reduce the sulphur producing bacteria that result in foul smell.  

​

  • Chewing cloves- Chewing on cloves reduces the odour producing microbes, it is also useful in case of tooth ache. Take 10-12 cloves in a cup of water and boil the water until it is reduced to half the volume. This clove flavoured water can either be used for gargles or can be sipped slowly.

​

  • Cleaning the tongue- Cleaning the tongue every day with a scraper is as important as brushing. Actually, the surface of the tongue is not smooth, it has elevations and crevices, which form a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Just brushing the teeth followed by rinsing with a mouthwash will not clean the tongue. The white layer of ama (toxins) that develops on the tongue must be removed with a tongue cleaner. Cleaning the tongue will not only improve your oral hygiene but also improve your taste reception.

​

  • Oil pulling- It is a fantastic detoxification technique that is done by swishing a table spoon of oil (coconut oil, olive oil or sesame oil) in the mouth for 10-20 minutes preferably in the morning. It does the same for our mouth what a soap does for the utensils. It provides a clean antiseptic environment that promotes the flow of dental liquid which is needed to prevent cavities and oral disease.

​

 

All the above mentioned herbs coupled with home remedies for bad breath will definitely help you. But, before choosing a treatment it is very important to establish the cause of bad breath.

  • I am with Dr Saini from last 4+ years. I reached to him after my cancer surgery four years ago...then I was in distress and looking for right guidance and support. With Dr Sahni help, I was treated for chronic constipation, lack of sleep and energy and emotional eating recovery...which helped me achieve better health. Many thanks to him for the same and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for similar support.

  • Highly recommend seeing Pooja for various womens health issues. Pooja offers long term alternative approaches to self managing one's health with the holistic ayurvedic system. Her manner and concern is sincere and she is very conscious of leaving you with the tools you need to take care of yourself beyond her consultations.

  • I am writing this review so that everyone gets to know about the most capable Ayurvedic doctor of Melbourne, Dr. Saini and could reach out to him for almost any condition they might be suffering from. I was suffering from Migraine headache almost everyday but after taking the medicines prescribed by Dr. Saini, my headache almost vanished. These Ayurvedic medicines helped me in controlling my stress magnificently. I hope my review could help others who are suffering from anxiety and stress or any other chronic disorder. Please try the Ayurvedic(herbal) medicines for once as they don't have any side effects. They also have the facility of Ayurvedic massage which can definitely help the hard-working professionals out there. I hope everyone could get this miraculous treatment of Ayurveda.

  • I was suffering from headaches for the past 5-6 years which lasted more than a day. Sometimes it was so severe that I had nausea and vomiting. Tried a lot of medications but they did not help. Then I thought of trying Ayurveda as my last remedy. 2 months with Gurnam Saini and I have no headaches. My sleep has also improved. I’m still continuing to improve my overall health as the medicine seems to work for me. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone who wants to improve their overall health and well being.

  • My four year old picked up a nasty viral cough every six-eight weeks lasting 2+ weeks each time. This has gone on FOR YEARS. Too many sleepless nights to count. She’s now on her third month of Ayurved treatment, and so far she hasn’t picked up so much as a runny nose. She’s still attending the same daycare, same level of exposure. Only now her immune system is strong enough to cope. We can’t thank you enough Dr. Gurnam.

  • I saw Dr Saini in July 2019 for “acid reflux” after suffering of months. I tried different medicines but didn’t work. There was a time I started believing that there was no permanent cure to this disease. Dr Saini is an authentic Ayurvedic doctor. He can do miracles for you. I honestly believe he’s a blessing for the city of Melbourne otherwise it would have been very hard to physically see an Ayurvedic doctor like him. My heart burn got worst with the time & became just unbearable. I couldn’t eat anything or sleep at all. Finally, I found him via google and peoples reviews convinced me to give him a call. He’s an angel & listens everything. He gave me a three month’s plan which I completed happily. But unbelievably my acid reflux reduced 80% within three days & completely gone in five days & it never came back since then. I’m so happy & enjoying my life like I used to. God bless Dr Saini & God bless those who wrote reviews which convinced me to give him a call first time.

  • I was suffering from ibs from a long time urgency to go to toilet and mucus in stool . Even I ordered medicine from India but it wasn’t work and proper guidelines there, they just there for sale the medicine only . Dr shani only one months medicine improved 80% of my gut problem . If anyone suffering from symptoms like ibs or gut issue I will definitely recommend to visit dr shani clinic .

  • After struggling for years with energy levels, food intolerances and sleep issues with our daughter, we tried Dr Saini. The results for her have been outstanding. Her food intolerances (she was on a strict FODMAP diet) have all but disappeared. Her sleep is consistent and better. Her ability to regulate herself across an entire day (without falling into a heap) has improved her life quality 100 fold. His approach is thoughtful and considered. We always feel like he listens to all aspects of her health and adapts his methods to what she needs next. I would highly recommend working with Dr Saini to anyone considering it.

  • Since September 2018, I have been in and out of hospital with consistent bowel and rectal issues. Three weeks after my last surgery this year, I literally stumbled across Pure Herbal. Dr Saini, (Ayurvedic Doctor) has been an absolute God send. I have worked closely with him since March. I have been extremely commited to the daily herbal regime, detox and treatments provided at Pure Health. At 46, I have never felt better physically, mentally and spiritually. What were constant symptoms, are now a thing of the past. I will continue this cleansing journey and with Dr Saini's expertise, I know my health will continue to improve. 🙏

  • I started to get depressive mood and nightmares since diagnosed with varicocele and hydrocele. Specialist recommended me getting coil embolization to block the veins. I was hesitant with the idea of it and ignored his advice. I thought I would try with natural approach to deal with my health issues. After reading online I started to make healthy changes in my life-style and food regime e.g. avoiding inflammatory and junk food, energy drinks etc. Also reduced smoking and alcohol for 3 months. But my pain and swelling in the scrotal area did not improve. More over I started to get lack of libido, premature ejaculation and erectile difficulties. Due to that I started to remain frustrated and angry most of the time. My relationship with my family members, friends and partner started to get difficult. Finally came across Dr Saini ayurvedic medicine clinic in Melbourne. Had a detial consult with Dr Saini. His Ayurveda approach for varicocele and its related problem worked like magic for me. First month he modified my life-style and food, based on my ayurvedic makeup. He also introduced some his own blends of organic herbs and spices with daily breathing exercise. In second month I did panchakarma detoxification. Now there is no pain or swelling in my scrotal area. My manpower is back to normal (even better than earlier), having grounded emotions and sound sleep with best physical and mental health. I highly recommend everyone to follow ayurvedic life style and its natural way of healing your body. Dr Saini is best in his job.
