Namaste, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concern. I understand how distressing persistent bad breath (known in Ayurveda as Mukha Durgandha) You are doing well by quitting smoking and drinking—this is already a powerful step towards healing. From an Ayurvedic perspective, chronic bad breath is often linked to an imbalance in Pitta dosha and accumulation of Ama (toxins) in the body, especially in the digestive system. Ayurveda believes the root cause can lie in subtle imbalances not always detectable through standard diagnostics. Here are some suggestions to help reverse it naturally: Guluchyadi kashyam tablet - 2 tablet twice before food Arogyavardhini vati 1 tablet twice after food Avipathi choornam mix 1tsp powder in warmwater and drink at night before going to bed [weekly once]. This causes your bowel little loose. 1. Digestive Fire (Agni) Support Begin your day with warm water and a pinch of ginger or a few drops of lemon juice to stimulate Agni. Avoid heavy, oily, fried, and overly spicy foods. Include Triphala at night (1 tsp in warm water or as a tablet) to cleanse the colon and reduce Ama. 2.Perform Gandusha (oil pulling): swish 1 tbsp of sesame or coconut oil in your mouth every morning for 5–10 minutes, then spit and rinse. Use a tongue scraper daily to remove toxins from the tongue. Rinse with warm water infused with a pinch of turmeric or triphala powder after meals. 4. Lifestyle Tips Eat meals at regular times and avoid overeating. Practice deep breathing or Pranayama daily to reduce stress, which can affect digestion and oral health. Maintain a regular sleep cycle. Please know that with consistent care and a holistic approach, this condition can improve. I’d be happy to guide you with a personalized plan if needed. Wishing you vibrant health and fresh breath naturally.
