Bad breath, or halitosis, is a very unpleasant problem both for those who suffer from it and for those around them. Caused by different factors, ranging from poor oral hygiene to digestion problems, bad breath can be effectively reduced using Essential Oils and a few simple steps.
To drink a lot of water :
We can not emphasize this enough. Drinking small amounts of water throughout the day to achieve 1.5 liters of water per day is an absolute necessity. If water bothers you, add lemon juice or a little mint tea. These fresh aromas will be more than welcome.
Brushing your teeth:
Tooth brushing should take place at least twice a day after meals. Impeccable brushing lasts two minutes (that's a long time!) and must be done carefully. Flossing is a must because it is between the teeth that foul deposits are most present. You can use a drop of lemon Essential Oil and a drop of tea tree Essential Oil on your dose of toothpaste to cleanse the oral cavity and promote the whiteness of the teeth. More practical, you can also add a dose of Buccarom gel to the toothbrush before putting the toothpaste on it. Buccarom effectively sanitizes and eliminates unwanted bacteria which can release sulfur molecules with a foul odor during the breakdown of food.
Clean your tongue:
It tickles but it feels good! An overly thick tongue is often the cause of bad breath. You can grate your tongue with a tongue rasp rinsed in water and rubbed with a drop of lemon essence. To pass two or three times over the organ without pressing too much. If you don't like the gesture, you can at least think about finishing brushing your teeth with brushing your tongue.
Digest without stress:
Poor digestion sometimes causes fermentation and smelly gases. You can take digestive essential oil capsules to facilitate exchanges. Digestarom or Oléocaps 3 capsules of Essential Oils of peppermint, caraway and lemon which help to digest more easily. Take one capsule with each meal with a little water. More original, you can also prepare an aromatic drink to finish the meal in style: pour simmering water into a large cup over sugar flavored with a drop of essential oil of coriander and peppermint. Drink calmly at the end of a meal.
