Management of halitosis (bad breath) through the use of common medicinal herbs
Iftear Kazim Rafi
Abstract
Halitosis, another name for bad breath, may be unpleasant and in some situations, even anxiety-inducing. Breath odor is the primary symptom of halitosis, an oral health condition. The first step in treating this avoidable ailment is usually determining the origin of the foul breath. Plant based formulas used in traditional medicine to eliminate odors include echinacea, mint, cloves, coconut, ginger, cinnamon, green tea, black tea, coriander, lemon, thyme, savory, real cardamom, and honey. Physicians who specialize in conventional diagnostic techniques are constantly inspired by the herbs found in nature. The data gathered in this study may serve as a foundation for further research, clinical and experimental, to support the use of natural remedies and medicinal herbs in treating halitosis.
