Ayurvedic Treatment for Bad Breath: What Can Help With Persistent Mouth Odor? - #1178

Anonymously

I’ve been dealing with bad breath for the past year, and it’s starting to affect my confidence, especially in social situations. I brush twice a day and even use mouthwash regularly, but the odor comes back within a few hours. I’ve tried everything — flossing, drinking more water, cutting down on spicy foods — but nothing seems to fix it. I read that Ayurveda looks at bad breath as a sign of digestive issues or a Pitta imbalance. Some people recommend using herbs like fennel seeds or Triphala, but I’m not sure how effective these really are. Should I be focusing on oil pulling or using specific Ayurvedic herbs and spices? And are there dietary changes that could help address this issue from the root? If anyone has managed to get rid of bad breath with Ayurvedic remedies, I’d love to know what worked for you and how long it took to see results.

In Ayurveda, persistent bad breath is often linked to an imbalance in the digestive system, particularly an excess of Pitta or toxins (ama) in the body. If the digestive fire (Agni) is weak or improperly balanced, it can cause improper digestion of food, leading to the accumulation of toxins that are then released through the mouth. Ayurveda recommends focusing on strengthening digestion through dietary changes and herbal remedies. Triphala and fennel seeds are both excellent for promoting digestion, reducing Pitta, and purifying the body. You might also benefit from oil pulling with sesame or coconut oil, which helps remove toxins and bacteria from the mouth, improving oral hygiene and freshening the breath. Additionally, avoiding overly spicy, greasy, or acidic foods, and including more cooling, easily digestible foods like leafy greens, rice, and cucumbers can support a healthier digestive system. Be patient, as it may take a few weeks to see noticeable changes, but with consistent effort in balancing digestion, using the right herbs, and making dietary adjustments, many people find relief from chronic bad breath.
