Ailments and Situations - Halitosis

 

Bad Breath

 
Description

Bad breath can be a very embarrassing condition, which is why many people are reluctant to inform their naturopath or other health practitioner if a problem exists. However, myths about halitosis still persist and it is important for you to better understand this condition in order to properly deal with the problem. Attempting to mask bad breath with excess brushing or with commercial mouthwashes, as many people do, will only make the problem worse.

 

Symptoms and Signs:

It is often difficult to tell whether you have bad breath. Rather, this uncomfortable task falls upon others to detect the problem for you. Signs, however, include the presence of gum disease, dehydration, and irregularities in digestion. Try breathing through your mouth and on to your hands to check if there is an unpleasant odour.
