Bad breath, like other unpleasant body symptoms, is an indicator of some kind of imbalance in the body that needs to be addressed. It could be a need to improve dental hygiene, a need to improve digestion, or other imbalances. It’s important to find the cause and correct the problem, not just use a mouthwash or mints to freshen breath. A healthy body has little odor.
Standard mouthwashes contain alcohol and may contain formaldehyde, artificial colors, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide.
I’d start with making sure you have good oral hygiene, including flossing and brushing, and if that doesn’t take care of it, visit your dentist to see if you have any infections or any other problems in your mouth. If that doesn’t take care of it, visit a natural oriented health practitioner to help identify the problem and get a solution.
