"Chinese herbs can be very effective to relieve bad breath. It's something that I see occasionally in the clinic and usually it's due to something that we call stomach heat. Too much heat in the stomach and that usually causes indigestion, heart burn and constipation. It's, it is important to check with your MD and make sure you rule out that it's not an ulcer or something more serious. Bad breath sometimes can be eliminated by reducing the amount of spicy hot foods, greasy fatty foods, too much alcohol, too much coffee or there are some herbal formulas that I would prescribe. A few other herbal formulas that I might prescribe for bad breath would be; this one is called Rhubarb or this one which is called Tang Shen Wan and they're basically, if you have bad breath with constipation. So depending on how your symptoms presented, I might prescribe one of these two. If your symptoms more led towards indigestion and heartburn, that kind of thing; I might prescribe Bu Hu Wan or the curing pills; one of those two. This formula is very good for what we call supporting the spleen sheet to clear the heat in the stomach. It's called the Aqualaria pills. So that can be very good for clearing away the bad breath. As with all herbal formulas, it's important to consult with a Acupuncture Physician or Herbalist to get the proper diagnosis, treatment plan and prescription formula. Something very safe for you to do at home is to eat very cool foods as in cold temperature foods to control your bad breath. So some examples of foods that are cold in temperature; we have cabbage or lettuce, pears, peaches, oranges, all the melons, zucchini, cucumber, corn, snow peas, carrots, celery and broccoli. So if you add those into your diet onto a regular basis, that should eliminate your bad breath safely at home."
