Bad breath, or halitosis, can result from various factors such as poor digestion, dry mouth, oral hygiene issues, or underlying health conditions. In Ayurveda, it is often linked to imbalances in the digestive system, particularly the Pitta dosha, which can lead to foul-smelling breath.

To address this, practice proper oral hygiene by brushing your teeth and tongue twice daily with a natural toothbrush and a herbal tooth powder containing neem, clove, or cardamom. Oil pulling with sesame or coconut oil for 10–15 minutes can help cleanse the mouth and eliminate toxins. Internally, drinking warm water with a pinch of triphala powder in the morning can improve digestion and detoxify the body, which may help reduce bad breath. Avoid overly spicy, oily, or heavy foods, and ensure you stay hydrated to prevent dry mouth. You can also chew on fennel seeds or cardamom after meals to freshen your breath naturally. If the issue persists, it’s advisable to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to assess any internal imbalances or digestive concerns.

Prajvala ji, bad breath, also known as halitosis, can occur due to several reasons, even after brushing. It can be caused by:

Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to the accumulation of food particles and plaque on your teeth, tongue, and gums, causing odor.
Digestive Issues: Imbalances in Agni (digestive fire), such as poor digestion or constipation, can lead to bad breath.
Dry Mouth (Xerostomia): Reduced saliva production can allow bacteria to grow in the mouth, leading to foul odor.
Dietary Habits: Strong-smelling foods like garlic, onions, or spices, or a diet rich in sugar can contribute to bad breath.
Imbalance in Doshas: Bad breath can be linked to an imbalance in Kapha dosha, particularly if there's excess mucus or toxins in the body.
Ayurvedic Suggestions:
Oil Pulling: Swish sesame or coconut oil in your mouth for 10–15 minutes in the morning to cleanse the mouth and improve oral hygiene.
Tongue Scraping: Use a copper tongue scraper to remove toxins and bacteria from the tongue, especially in the morning.
Herbal Teas: Drink herbal teas like mint or clove tea which have antibacterial properties that help freshen your breath.
Triphala Powder: This herb can support digestion and detoxification, improving your breath and overall health.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to avoid dry mouth and help flush out toxins.
Dietary Modifications: Avoid excessive garlic, onions, or foods that may aggravate your doshas and contribute to bad breath.
If the issue persists despite these remedies, consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner to balance your doshas and address any underlying causes.
