How to Use Chlorophyll to Cure Halitosis

If you have halitosis, then you are suffering from bad breath. You can use several products--such as gum--to mask halitosis, but it will not cure the condition. Instead, an herbal remedy may be the answer to getting rid of your halitosis. One remedy you can try is chlorophyll. Before you use chlorophyll to treat your halitosis, speak to your doctor. Halitosis can be a symptom of a medical condition.

Things You'll Need

• Chlorophyll supplement

Instructions

1. Purchase liquid chlorophyll from a vitamin and nutritional supplement supplier. You can purchase chlorophyll from stores like GNC or go online to buy the product. For example, VitaCost retails Chlorofresh by Nature's Way. This supplement is flavored with mint for better taste as well as to help freshen breath.

2. Determine the best time to take chlorophyll to treat halitosis. To treat bad breath, you may want to consider consuming the supplement right after meals.

3. Measure two tablespoons of the liquid chlorophyll. Swish the liquid in your mouth for a minute before swallowing.

4. Repeat the dose later in the day. You will likely only need to consume two doses of chlorophyll to cure halitosis, but can take as many as three doses within a 24-hour period.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember to continue good dental hygiene practices as well while treating halitosis with chlorophyll. Brush your teeth after meals, floss and use mouthwash. Keep in mind that chlorophyll has not been evaluated by the FDA for the treatment of halitosis.

• Stop taking chlorophyll if you develop any side effects. Potential side effects include diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.
