Summer vibes!
When talking to someone, it's unpleasant if they have bad breath; it's even more embarrassing if it's your own problem. People often don't realize their mouth has an odor because they get used to the smell over time, even though the mouth and nose are connected. In summer, bad breath can be particularly stubborn because high temperatures accelerate bacterial growth in the mouth. Additionally, with more rain, the body is easily affected by the external environment, leading to spleen deficiency and dampness, which can cause bad breath.
In fact, oral odor is a common symptom, especially when the body is unwell. It often reflects symptoms of underlying diseases such as cavities, periodontal disease, rhinitis, tonsillitis, upper respiratory tract infections, pneumonia, and constipation.
Most bad breath is caused by an excessive accumulation of toxins in the body that cannot be eliminated, so it's essential to identify the cause and treat it accordingly. If you need immediate relief from bad breath, it is recommended to use 10 grams of Agastache rugosa and 5 grams of peppermint, steep them in hot water for ten minutes, and then drink. You can refill it with hot water throughout the day.
Agastache rugosa and peppermint not only look similar but are also aromatic. Agastache rugosa has a pungent taste and warm nature, and it enters the spleen, stomach, and lung meridians. It has a stomach-strengthening function, can resolve dampness and relieve external symptoms, and can prevent and relieve heatstroke, making it essential for eliminating bad breath. Peppermint has a pungent taste and cool nature, and it enters the liver and lung meridians. It can refresh the mind, alleviate fatigue, clear heat and detoxify, disperse wind and heat, relieve cold symptoms, and reduce headaches.
Besides drinking, tea can also be used as a mouthwash. Its alkaline nature neutralizes oral acidity, and it contains tannic acid, which has antibacterial properties and slows down bacterial growth. Green tea is recommended for mouthwash. For fresh breath, remember to stay away from smoking and alcohol, avoid strong-flavored foods such as garlic, onions, and chives, and drink plenty of water, maintain good oral hygiene, and clean your tongue.
