Bad Breath Solution

Suffering from bad breath or halitosis can be a difficult problem to deal with. There is a lot of shame associated with this condition since most people will cringe or back away when they smell your disgusting breath. So you should find a halitosis cure as soon as possible. Fortunately, there are many ways to cure halitosis.

Listed below are some natural bad breath remedies that are effective in getting rid of bad breath.

Practicing proper oral hygiene after every meal is an effective halitosis treatment. If you brush your teeth, gums, and tongue thoroughly, then you will stop the bacteria in your mouth from feeding on food particles. If you did not prevent this from happening, it would result in the release of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) which are the cause of bad breath. There might be food particles stuck between your teeth that a toothbrush will not be able to reach so flossing thoroughly would also help with eliminating halitosis.

An oral environment that is highly acidic can cause bacteria to reproduce more quickly. This can lead to halitosis and leave sour and bitter tastes in your mouth. To stop this from happening, you should place some baking soda on your toothbrush and brush thoroughly. The baking soda will neutralize some of the acids in your mouth.

Avocados are known for having a high calorie content and low cholesterol levels. They have been used to provide the skin with essential vitamins, treat atherosclerosis and psoriasis, and prevent strokes. Adding avocados to your diet can also improve your digestion because they can clean your intestines. And since indigestion can result in bad breath eating avocados can be an effective cure for bad breath. You can get the best health benefits from them by eating them raw.

Apple cider vinegar can also improve the digestive process and cure halitosis. Apple cider vinegar is used in bad breath remedies because it provides the same function your stomach acid does. That is, it helps you digest food. If you have an insufficient amount of stomach acid, then you will not be able to digest your food completely. If this food is not broken down completely, then foul gases may come from your stomach and come out of your mouth. Before or after each meal, you should swallow a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or take it with some water.

A bad breath remedy can also be found in the chemical chlorophyll. Many people already know that chlorophyll gives plants their green color. However, not that many people know that chlorophyll can cleanse your body and effectively treat various problems associated with digestion and the intestinal tract. Since some of the causes of bad breath are due to difficulties with digestion and the intestinal tract, adding chlorophyll to your diet will be an effective way to cure halitosis. Because chlorophyll has cleansing properties, it can act like a deodorizer that can freshen your breath.

Chlorophyll is very easy and simple to use. It is also easy to obtain. Many pharmacies have chlorophyll tablets or capsules available for purchase. You should take several of them every day before or after a meal. Chlorophyll is also available in liquid or powder form.

Parsley have been used as a halitosis cure for a long time. There are high levels of chlorophyll in parsley. For fast relief from onion or garlic breath, you can dip parsley leaves in vinegar and chew on them. You can eventually swallow the parsley leaves and your breath will stay fresh for a little while longer. Chlorophyll can also be found in spinach, green olives, asparagus, barley grass, celery, wheat grass, romaine lettuce, turnip greens, chlorella, and spirulina.

Instructions For An Effective Bad Breath Treatment Routine

These instructions are to be followed 2-3 times a day, usually after breakfast, after lunch and at bed time. These are the exact instructions that are recommended for the most severe cases of halitosis. You may find that you will adapt them to suit your own personal preferences. This is perfectly OK – the goal is to make sure the products are working for you.

Instructions:

1. Gently scrape your tongue with the rounded edge of the tongue scraper 4-5 strokes, moving the tongue cleaner forward each time. This will help in removing the mucous layer which has been protecting the bacteria living on your tongue. (Do not scrape vigorously to the point of bleeding, but firm enough to remove the mucous layer.)

2. Rinse off the tongue scraper, then apply a small amount of TheraBreath toothgel to the rounded edge of the tongue scraper and gently scrape another 4-5 strokes. This step applies the powerful oxygenating toothgel to the newly exposed surface of your tongue, thus allowing the oxygenating action to begin. Reach as far back as possible without gagging. DO NOT RINSE, but you can then wash off the tongue scraper after this step.
3. Place a normal amount of TheraBreath Toothgel on a dry toothbrush and brush for 2-3 minutes. Besides your teeth, also gently brush your tongue, reaching as far back as possible. Make sure to include the roof of your mouth and the inside of your cheeks with this brushing. (The bacteria are extemely sticky and end up almost everywhere in your mouth.) Notice that I keep stressing the word gently – you do not have to brush hard, but make sure that you are thorough. When brushing your teeth, remember to angle the brush towards your gumline, feeling the bristles gently sliding under the gumline. Do not rinse with water after this step. You may, however, spit out any excess saliva and toothgel.
4. In order to rinse out your mouth properly and in order to attack the bacteria, pour 2 capfuls of TheraBreath Oral Rinse into a clean glass. Rinse the toothgel from your mouth with this rinse. While doing so, “swish” the rinse all over your mouth for 90 seconds in order to cover all the oral surfaces with the concentrated oxygen. It is NOT RECOMMENDED to drink directly from the bottle – this will likely contaminate the rinse.
5. Take a normal-sized string of dental floss and wet the entire piece with TheraBreath Oral Rinse. Then floss your teeth thoroughly so that the medicated rinse will pass through all of the tooth contacts. This step ensures that the Chlorine Dioxide will attack the bacteria located here.
6. Take 2 fresh capfuls of the rinse, and gargle for 90 seconds, attempting to get the rinse as far back as possible, without gagging. After gargling, spit out the rinse. (Do not eat or drink anything for 20 minutes following this procedure). If some of the rinse is swallowed, do not be alarmed. It is completely safe if digested (see below)
7. Blow your nose to clear out any excess mucous from your nasal passages. Put 1-2 of the TheraBreath Nasal-Sinus Drops in each nostril. Allow the drops to run through your sinus passages and down the back of your throat.

Please Read the Following:

For people who can not follow this routine after lunch, if necessary it is recommended that you choose one of either Chewing Gum, Power Drops, or Breath Spray to maintain fresh breath throughout the day.

• It is important that you remember not to use any water with these products as they need to remain undiluted.
• Also, keep the bottle of oral rinse and the toothgel tube tightly closed and away from the sun when not in use. Never store the mouth rinse in a clear plastic bottle.

*** If a Sour, Bitter, or Salty Taste Persists: In some cases, a difference in taste may occur for the first few days after starting the products. THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY. It’s due to the oxidation of metals in existing dental restorations and the new sensitivity of your new clean taste buds. To overcome this taste, apply baking soda to your toothbrush before placing the toothgel on it. This counteracts any acidity you may have in your mouth.

*** ZOX Breath Lozenges: For those who have a dry mouth or remaining sour/bitter/salty tastes (even after using the oral rinse and toothpaste), you may want to try these lozenges. Not only will they help prevent bad breath when you don’t necessrily have the time to brush and rinse thoroughly, but they trigger the production of excess saliva too. As they melt, the natural ingredients will stimulate the production of Oxygen-Rich Saliva to give you a fresh, clean taste.

*** SWALLOWING THE RINSE: Many people prefer to actual swallow the TheraBreath rinse. While this is perfectly safe, most people prefer to actually swallow the AktivOxigen Rinse (made from the tablets) instead of the mouthwash since it has no flavor. In this case, it is recommended that you use your regular TheraBreath rinse to gargle, but swallowing 1-2 capfuls of the AktivOxigen rinse at the end of your oral routine. The purpose of swallowing the rinse is to reach bacteria that are beyond your ‘Gagging Point’ and therefore have not yet had contact with the medication.

Bad Breath Mints That Actually Work As A Cure For Bad Breath

These bad breath mints will do the following:

• Remove Bad Breath and Taste
• Stop The Production of Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSC’s)
• Stimulate Oxygen-Rich Saliva Flow

All the “breath candies” that you’re used to seeing in the stores (Altoids, Tic-Tacs, Certs, Ice Breakers, etc.) all commit some kind of fatal mistake in the documented science of creating fresh breath. You see, by now the academic halitosis community knows what causes bad breath and we also know the exact conditions that create an oral environment in your mouth that is MORE LIKELY to produce bad breath.

So wouldn’t you think that a ‘breath mint’ should contain ingredients that make this oral environment less likely to happen? At the very least, there shouldn’t be anything in there that would make that oral environment WORSE.

You can probably see what I’m getting at. The top breath fresheners on the market ALL contain either sugar (which the bad breath bacteria absolutely feast on), or they contain an artificial flavor designed to cover-up rather than prevent bad breath and taste.

And NONE OF THEM Contain Any Clinically Proven, Breath-Refreshing Ingredients!

ZOX Breath Fresheners are the first breath mint designed to remove bad breath instead of mask it!

Now first let me get one thing straight. If you have chronic halitosis, then DON’T expect a breath mint to make the problem go away (although they are an excellent maintenance device if you are already using the TheraBreath system in the morning and night). Most bad breath research has been spent helping people who mostly have had chronic halitosis problems – the type of condition that every time you talk with a person you detect an odor from their breath.

But there is a type of bad breath out there that is common to everyone that has been largely ignored by researchers! It is referred to as situational bad breath. Situational Bad Breath occurs in 99.9% of the world population at one time or another. It happens when someone activates a ‘trigger‘ that causes the oral environment in their mouth to become more likely for the anaerobic bacteria to begin creating the volatile sulfur compounds (VSC’s) that cause bad breath.

In scientific terms, when your mouth encounters one of these triggers, it creates an oral environment that encourages the anaerobic bacteria to begin extracting sulfur compounds from specific amino acids. One amino acid (Cysteine) turns into Hydrogen Sulfide (the rotten-egg smell), and another amino acid (Methionine) becomes Methyl Mercaptan which smells sort of like dirty socks!

So Let’s Take A Real-World Example For A Minute

You get together with some friends one weekend for a bite to eat at a delectable restaurant that serves cheese fondue, with a strawberry daiquiri to cap it off.

You want to make sure you have fresh breath, so after dinner you pop in an Altoid or other such breath candy. STOP!

Although you may have a cinnamon-like taste in your mouth, what you’ve really just done is made your bad breath problem MUCH worse. Let me explain:

During dinner, you introduced two ‘triggers‘ to your mouth (protein and alcohol) that weren’t previously there and made your particular oral environment very eager to begin creating those foul-smelling VSC’s.

Then after dinner, by sucking on that mint, you actually gave those bacteria a food source they LOVE (sugar) to help along the VSC production. Yes, it’s true you TASTE cinnamon or mint, but that’s only a temporary cover up and what people actually SMELL is usually a lot worse!

But now there is ZOX – The First Breath Mint To Actually NEUTRALIZE Bad Breath Production!

ZOX Breath Fresheners were created because almost all the other ‘breath mints‘ on the market DO NOT take into account the principles of halitosis prevention! Most of them are created to TASTE GOOD and that’s about it. ZOX Breath Fresheners were created based on the same clinically proven Zinc/Oxygen/Xylitol principles used by the rest of the TheraBreath product line. It is literally bad breath prevention science packed into a roll of breath mints!

First, ZOX Breath Fresheners have no sugar. ZOX Breath Fresheners use xylitol which is a natural sweetener and has also been proven to have tremendous anti-decay properties.

They also contain zinc gluconate which is known for it’s ability to literally put a “straight-jacket” around those ‘bad-breath producing’ anaerobic bacteria. Zinc Gluconate blocks the receptors on the anaerobic bacteria so that they don’t bind with the amino acids. And if they don’t bind with the amino acids, then they don’t produce VSC’s!

ZOX Breath Fresheners contain no aspartame, no saccharin, and no artificial colors or flavors.

ZOX Breath Fresheners have been specifically created for the sole purpose of preventing bad breath, and removing metallic tastes, NOT for just covering them up. The longer you keep a ZOX in your mouth, the more volatile sulfur compounds it will neutralize.

Plus, each mint is only 5 calories, so you can have as many as you want.

The bottom line is that all-natural ZOX Breath Fresheners are the first and only breath mint to neutralize bad breath based on the clinically proven methods practiced by the California Breath Clinics over the past 10 years.

For control of ‘occasional‘ or ‘situational‘ bad breath there is nothing better than ZOX!

Get Rid Of Bad Breath With A Bad Breath Spray – Isn’t Rinsing And Brushing Enough?

If you are like me, then you’re probably thinking “Not another bad breath spray – isn’t rinsing and brushing enough?”

Let me start by saying this – Bad Breath is the odor of the volatile sulfur compounds (VSC’s) that are created from the anaerobic bacteria that live in your mouth, between your teeth, beneath the surface of your tongue, in the back of your throat, and in your tonsils (if they exist).

See the picture to the right…. reaching your mouth, teeth, and front of your tongue in regions D, E, and F is simple – tens of thousands of people do it every day with the TheraBreath Oral Rinses and Toothpastes. But what about the production of odors “farther” back (Regions A, B, and C) – in the very back of your tongue, deep in your throat or in your tonsils?

When you gargle with an oral rinse (mouthwash) – most of the time it can be very difficult to reach way down deep in your throat. Many people find that a ‘Gag Reflex’ kicks in (this happens automatically in most people when something – anything – touches a sensitive area in the back of your throat and tongue). So what can you do? To stop bad breath you MUST neutralize the sulfur compounds that have been created by the anaerobic bacteria that live in deep recesses of your throat and tongue.

In response to this exact concern, a breath spray has been created that addresses this problem. TheraBreath PLUS ‘Extinguisher’ Breath Spray has a unique 7.5cm long, swiveling, extended head which holds down the tongue and sprays the potent Therabreath PLUS formula directly on the “bacterial breeding ground” located in the back of your tongue and throat. It’s the only patented Extra Strength formula that can literally reach the part of your throat and tongue that no other formula can touch!

Many people have said that they’ve always “Felt” something stuck in their throat – and they’ve attributed that uncomfortable feeling to their breath and taste disorder – this spray was designed to solve that problem.

Please remember that for chronic conditions, the only way to prevent the anaerobic bacteria from creating VSC’s is through daily use of an oxygenating line of products such as the TheraBreath Oral Rinse and Toothpaste. For specific instructions on how to do this, see this article Bad Breath Treatment Instructions.

As with all of the Therabreath formulas, the PLUS Extinguisher Spray passed all tests at the San Francisco clinic with flying colors. It’s made those test patients extremely happy, especially since many of the chronic or “lingering” cases involve odor production that may be beyond the reach of just rinsing and tooth brushing (which should still be part of everybody’s daily regimen.)

It’s especially useful for patients with:

1. Chronic Bad Breath who want extra relief throughout the day
2. Light, Occasional (Situational) breath or taste disorder, who want instant relief without an overbearing strong minty taste or smell
3. Dry Mouth sufferers, whose tongue tends to become “extra sticky” as the day goes on

TheraBreath PLUS Extinguisher Spray is small enough to carry in your pocket, purse, or briefcase, so that you can even use it before or after your favorite “garlic” dish.

I hope you can now see how a breath spray (especially one that actually reaches the source of bad breath) can help you regain your confidence.

TheraBreath Review – A Cure For Bad Breath That Works

The TheraBreath System and its products are based on the highly potent, but extremely safe Oxyd-VIII. The active ingredient Oxyd-VIII adds oxygen to the oral environment which prevents the anaerobic bacteria from creating the odorous sulfide and Mercaptan compounds that are the cause of bad breath. The end result is the formation of a “Sulfate”, which has no odor or taste.

Oxyd-VIII is a refined and properly pH balanced formula derived from a chemical used in water purification for over 100 years, Sodium Chlorite. These products have surpassed the “older” chemical known as “active” Chlorine Dioxide, to provide amazing results. I was successful in getting rid of my bad breath by first using the Therabreath Starter Kit and working my way up from there.

7 Reasons Why TheraBreath Is Superior To Any Other Group Of Products

One:
The active ingredient is Stabilized and generates Oxidizing Power as soon as it enters your mouth. This stabilization process allows TheraBreath to have up to a 3 year shelf-life.

[NOTE: Do not be confused by jealous competitors who state that TheraBreath does not contain active chlorine dioxide. Those statements are made to confuse the public. When any of the TheraBreath products enter your mouth, a chemical reaction takes place, which allows PLENTY of Fresh Oxidation every time you use it. That's why thousands of TheraBreath kits are sold every week in North America, Asia, Europe, South America, and Australia!]

Two:
TheraBreath has become the most “user-friendly” Anti-Halitosis System. It features a mouthwash (oral rinse), toothpaste, breath spray, concentrated powerdrops, ZOX breath mints, oxygenating chewing gum, AktivOxigen tablets, and Nasal Sinus Drops, all designed to attack the root of the problem throughout the day with the utmost of convenience. Some breath-refreshing systems rely solely on mouthwash to fight bad breath.

Three:
TheraBreath ToothGel also contains Sodium Fluoride which fights decay. Fluoride has also been shown to be an effective de-sensitizing agent. Some of the other “Anti-Halitosis” systems do not contain any Fluoride at all. Before you purchase any “anti-Halitosis” product, make sure to ask if it contains Fluoride.

Four:
Highly concentrated Whole Leaf Aloe Vera has been added to the TheraBreath toothpaste. Recent research in Asia has shown that Aloe Vera boosts the body’s ability to create collagen, which in turn strengthens weak and swollen gums to heal more quickly. (Bleeding gums provide a protein food source to the bacteria that create bad breath). No other “anti-Halitosis” system contains this form of Aloe Vera to fight this added problem.

Five:
The TheraBreath toothpaste or tooth”gel” does not contain Saccharin. (some other breath-refreshing products do). Saccharin has been shown to be carcinogenic in lab animals. Also, for some people, Saccharin creates a bitter aftertaste, due to one of the chemical compounds produced during Saccharin’s chemical breakdown.

Six:
TheraBreath ToothGel does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (a harsh detergent), which has been shown to be related to an increased incidence of canker sores. Almost all toothpastes contain this chemical. Research has shown that SLS should not be used by those who suffer from canker sores. And because the toothpaste does not contain SLS, (which will cause high levels of foam in the mouth), you will be better able to cleanse these odor-causing bacteria from your mouth by being able to brush longer.

Seven:
The TheraBreath Toothgel is actually a gel. Chemically speaking, gels are much smaller molecules than pastes, allowing deeper penetration below the tongue surface. TheraBreath toothpaste also contains premiere tooth polishing and whitening agents, in order to keep your smile white and brilliant, but without damaging abrasives. They are cruelty-free and are not harmful to the environment.

Clinical Studies on TheraBreath:

Presented on August 20, 1999 at UCLA – The University of California at Los Angeles – (at the 4th International Conference on Oral Malodor)

The Effects of Oxygenating TheraBreath Products on Bad Breath Patients – Testing of Saliva Production, and Reduction of VSC by Flame Chromatography and Halimeter Values.b

Bacterial production of Hydrogen Sulphide plays the main role in the ethiopathogenesis of bad breath, although there are several minor etiologic factors which also play a role. The anaerobic bacteria live in ideal areas, unreachable by oxygen, such as the back of the throat and tongue, interproximal areas of the teeth, periodontal pockets, and enlarged tonsilla. An oxygenating agent able to act in these regions could provide a benefit in eliminating halitosis.

The study monitored 25 subjects at the Department of Periodontology of the University Dental School. The subjects all suffered with the most common signs of bad breath and were evaluated both before and after the study using GCF, Halimeter (manufactured by Interscan) readings, and their level of saliva production by a Periotron 8000.

Results showed a statistically significant decrease in Halimeter readings and GCF values, while at the same time increasing their level of saliva production.

Conclusion: TheraBreath products (mouthwash (oral rinse), toothpaste, breath spray, concentrated powerdrops, ZOX breath mints, oxygenating chewing gum, AktivOxigen tablets, and Nasal Sinus Drops) are able to scientifically eliminate bad breath (halitosis), while at the same time helping to create more saliva for those who suffer with dry mouth.

Independent study conducted by the following Doctors: G. Acikgoz, I. Devrim, M. Aldikacti, A. Kayipmaz, G. Keles of the Ondokuz Mayis University Dental School, Samsun Turkey

Why does the OXYD-8 version of chlorine dioxide (used exclusively in TheraBreath) provide the longest and strongest relief?

TheraBreath is designed to produce copious amounts of “fresh, Potent” ClO2 “ON DEMAND” exactly where it’s needed – in the oral cavity, throat and tonsils. Consumption of “FREE” ClO2 leads to replenishment of more “FREE” ClO2 by a simple Le Chatelier shift to the right.

The demand for ClO2 is caused by the presence of the proteins and acids in the anaerobic bacteria and the volatile sulfur compounds they produce. This sensitive trigger mechanism in the OXYD-8 active ingredient in TheraBreath does not require stabilizing elements, bleach (as used in the ProFresh system) or buffers needed in other formulas. This allows TheraBreath to provide a much longer residual effect.

How To Get Rid Of Morning Breath In Less Than 45 Seconds Per Day

Stats About Morning Breath

Approximately 35% of the world’s population has a chronic, noticeable breath condition which usually leads them to seek help from a professional (which may often be incorrect.) This first group has bad breath concerns 24 hours a day, including, taste disorders, dry mouth, and of course morning breath.

Another 35% of people are “borderline” – meaning that their breath seems fresh throughout the day, but they can easily reach “chronic” levels – if they eat certain foods (dairy, alcohol, sugars), after taking medication (antihistamines, antidepressants, high blood pressure medication) and always when they wake up – in other words, morning breath.

The remaining 30% rarely worry about their breath. The only exceptions are when they eat garlic and onions, or upon wakening – in other words, morning breath…

So what’s going on with morning breath? The thing is, just about EVERYONE has morning breath to some degree or another!

As we sleep throughout the night, our salivary glands slow down (for some older people, they shut down completely!) because our brain knows we are not eating. This slowdown, combined with the constant flow of air over our palate (for those of us who are snorers or mouth breathers) makes for a very DRY environment on the tongue, within our oral cavity and in the throat (the breeding grounds of the anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria that cause bad breath and taste disorders).

As it was discussed in the article about dry mouth, this creates an environment that is very conducive for ‘morning breath’. (Saliva is nature’s way of protecting us from bad breath, because healthy saliva contains high concentrations of oxygen – the natural enemy of anaerobic bacteria.) So if you get morning breath after a good night’s sleep, don’t worry – you’re not alone!

But what most people don’t know (and this includes most medical and dental professionals), is that morning breath is NOT something that you have to live with.

The key is to find a way to stop the production of VSC’s (volatile sulfur compounds) during the night as you are asleep. One way is to increase the production of saliva within the back of your throat and mouth during the night. But this is very difficult to do – after all, you’re asleep! Furthermore, those of us who are mouth breathers are drying out the back of our throats with each breath that we take throughout the night.

A better and easier way is to stop the production of volatile sulfur compounds by the bacteria that create morning breath – and this is exactly what the Therabreath AktivOxigen Tablets are designed to do!

AktivOxigen Tablets are small, highly concentrated bad breath eliminators. They were created in response to customers’ demands for an effective oral rinse that reached the deep recesses of the throat and tonsil area.

To use AktivOxigen Tablets, just dissolve 1 or 2 tablets (depending on the severity of the problem you are trying to correct) in regular tap water in the included 8 oz. mixing bottle. Shake well for about 10 seconds and you will have a powerful, unflavored oral rinse that will destroy the bad breath bacteria on contact.

What makes this rinse so effective is that you can actually swallow the resulting solution and slowly let it run down the back of your throat and tonsils. If you do this right before bedtime, this coats your throat for the entire night and virtually eliminates morning breath.

AktivOxigen Tablets are easy to use and affordable – and they are the best way I know for the average person to rid themselves of morning breath.

Also, for those of you who suffer from Tonsiloliths (that’s the scientific term for those nasty odorous globs growing deep in the crypts of your tonsils) or congested sinuses will find instant relief from using the combination of AktivOxigen Tablets, and Nasal Sinus Drops. Nasal Sinus Drops are potent drops you put in your nose that slowly trickle through your sinuses and down your throat destroying the bad breath bacteria on contact.

AktivOxigen Tablets

Four 8oz Bottles (lasts 2 weeks): $17.50

Twelve 8oz Bottles(lasts 6 weeks): $47.00

Nasal Sinus Drops

One 1 oz Droppers: $12.00

Three 1 oz Droppers(lasts 2 months): $30.00

AKTIVOXIGEN TABLETS INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Dissolve 1 or 2 tablets in the 8 oz mixing bottle. Be sure to use the opaque bottle that comes with the system otherwise the solution will lose its potency.
2. Shake well for 10-20 seconds.
3. Before bedtime, tilt your head back and swallow 1 or 2 capfuls of the solution. Let it slowly run over your throat and tonsil area for maximum effectiveness.
4. Important – The solution should be in contact with your tonsils and throat for at least 45 seconds.
5. Keep cap tightly closed after use.

NASAL-SINUS DROPS INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Blow your nose before use.
2. Tilt your head back and gently press sides of dropper bottle to release 3-5 drops into each nostril.
3. Allow nasal-sinus drops to slowly run back through your sinuses and down the back of your throat.
4. Important – Allow drops to remain in the sinus cavity for at least 1-2 minutes.

Have you ever walked by a tree, looked at the sap oozing out of it, and thought to yourself, “Hmm. . . that tree sap looks really good, I might like to chew on some of that!“? It sounds pretty strange when you think of it like that, but that’s exactly what the Mayans did when they walked by a sapodilla tree (that’s where the word “sap” comes from). And it a good thing otherwise the gum we chew today could have evolved in a very different manner!

Gum chewing has it origins back in ancient Greece. The Grecians chewed mastic gum (pronounced mas-tee-ka), which is the resin obtained from the bark of the mastic tree, a shrublike tree found mainly in Greece and Turkey. The Grecian women especially, favored chewing mastic gum to clean their teeth and sweeten their breath.

But the Mayans weren’t too far behind the Greeks – they simply got their sap from a different tree. But the tree the Mayans chose (the Sapodilla tree) actually produced a sap called ‘chicle’ which is exactly where much of the gum in the US comes from. And ironically enough, even though the Mayan civilization literally disappeared overnight in about the year 800, virtually the only Mayan practice that remained intact was that of chewing gum.

Meanwhile, the American Indians of New England were also chewing gum, but made from the resin of spruce trees. Although chicle-based gums would ultimately win out in the US, the first gums ever marketed in the US were those based from the resin of spruce trees.

Over the mid 1800′s, spruce gum was gradually replaced by paraffin wax gum to which sweeteners were added, however the one drawback of paraffin wax gum was that it required heat and moisture from the mouth in order to render it suitable for chewing.

It wasn’t until 1869 that modern day gum products first appeared. The famous Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was searching for a substitute for rubber, and thought that chicle (remember the sap from the sapodilla tree that the Mayans chewed on?) might be a good fit. He contacted the American Inventor Thomas Adams, and while Adams couldn’t get chicle to work as rubber, he had the brilliant idea to turn it into a gum base. And thus modern day chewing gum was born from information that the Mayans had known for thousand of years – chicle makes great gum!

As you can see, the evolution of chewing gum makes for an interesting story, but it’s not until recent years have manufactures figured out how to add a variety of ingredients which are responsible for an assortment of proven health benefits (besides fresh breath!)

Here are some other interesting tidbits. All of these are based from research performed at leading institutions around the world.

Pretty interesting, huh?

Now, from all you’ve learned about chewing gum, here’s what I think is the best part. Bad breath comes in different forms, different odors, and is caused by different strains of anaerobic bacteria.

If you have chronic halitosis, all the gum in the world is not going to stop it! You MUST use an oxygenating oral rinse, a non SLS toothpaste, and follow the instructions in this article Instructions For An Effective Bad Breath Treatment Routine.

However, if you only have occasional bad breath, or dry mouth towards the end of the day, or are simply looking for a solution to neutralize odors after a particularly offensive meal, or before a special moment, then I think you’ll find that the TheraBreath chewing gum will work wonders!

Now. . . Exactly what is in this gum that makes it so great at keeping your breath fresh? Simple. . .

First, it contains Zinc Gluconate. Zinc is a known inhibitor of acid production by mutans streptococci (the bacteria in your mouth that cause bad breath). These bacteria thrive in an acidic environment, so when you neutralize acids you kill bacteria (and you help prevent that annoying tinny, metallic taste). In addition, a high level of oral acids is bad for your tooth enamel, so you’re helping to keep a brighter, whiter smile as well. Zinc ions also perform an interesting function when they meet anaerobic bacteria – they “clog” up certain receptors on the outer cell wall of anaerobic bacteria, so that that “bugs” cannot create sulfur compounds. (Zinc gluconate is the best tasting of all the zinc compounds which can be used in oral products.) Lastly, Zinc Gluconate (and only Zinc Gluconate) has been proven to restore sour/bitter/metallic tastes. Studies have shown that people with long term taste disorders can experience a rejuvenation of their taste buds after long-term use of Zinc gluconate gum or lozenges (which is what is used in ZOX Breath Fresheners and all of the TheraBreath chewing gum formulas – as well as ALL Plus formulas.)

Second, I’ve used Xylitol as a sweetener, instead of sugar or Aspartame (Nutrasweet) like so many other chewing gums. Xylitol is an all-natural sweetener made from the bark of hardwood trees. It is also naturally produced in small quantities in our own bodies.

It is a sugar alcohol, with makes it safe for diabetics because the body doesn’t react to sugar alcohols the same way that it does to sucrose or glucose (found in most of the popular kiddy-flavored gums, such as Big Red, Juicy Fruit, etc.)

Most importantly, it has an interesting property in that it has been proven to fight tooth decay and is the only “sweetener” that does so – the complete opposite of sugar – which oral bacteria use to generate acids, which lead to tooth decay. NEVER chew gum that contains sugar if you want to maintain fresh breath!

Simply put, a good amount of xylitol provides a healthy environment for an oral ecosystem.

Finally, it also contains Oxygenating Compounds, specially designed to work with chewing gum base, to gently bathe your mouth and throat with oxygenating molecules designed to neutralize any and all volatile sulfur compounds, located in your mouth, throat, tonsils, and even in the upper reaches of your esophagus. Every time you swallow, your saliva – now loaded with oxygen and zinc molecules – bathes the back of your tongue, throat, tonsils area, and even the very beginning of your esophagus, a formerly ignored hiding place for anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria.

So while it’s true that chewing gum has been around in many forms for many years, it’s NEVER been as beneficial as it is today. If you want fresh breath, a bright smile, and a healthy mouth, then try some of the TheraBreath Chewing Gum today!

Post Nasal Drip Remedies

In this article, you will learn the following:

• How to Eliminate That Annoying ‘Frog-in-the-Throat’ Feeling!
• Why Your Over-the-Counter Anti Histamine Could Be Making The Problem Even Worse!
• If You Have Post Nasal Drip – It’s Guaranteed To Affect Your Breath!

Bad Breath is very closely related to post nasal drip, excess mucus, sinus problems, your tonsils, and tonsiloliths.

If you downloaded and read the FREE E-book The Bad Breath Bible, then you know that the bacteria which cause bad breath and sour/bitter/metallic tastes are anaerobic (live without oxygen). Their goal in life is to break down the proteins in foods that we eat. However, under certain conditions, they will also start to break down the proteins found in mucus and phlegm.

Therefore, those people who suffer from post nasal drip, sinus problems, and other such ailments are more prone to bad breath and lousy tastes because the bacteria use the mucus as a food source and start to extract sulfur compounds from the amino acids that make up the proteins found in all this excess mucus.

Scientifically, the anaerobic bacteria that cause bad breath “love” the amino acids Cysteine and Methionine, which are the building blocks of the proteins that are found in mucus (and phlegm) and in dairy foods, too. In fact, many people notice that when they drink too much milk or eat too much cheese they end up with more mucous or phlegm in their throat (see this article on foods that cause bad breath). This is a natural reaction for many people and unfortunately, ends up causing more bad breath and lousy taste.

If you still have your tonsils, you may be harboring a higher number of the bacteria which can lead to an “interesting” and very often misunderstood phenomenon, called TONSILOLITHS. Literally translated, they are “tonsil stones” produced by the conglomeration of mucus draining down the back of the throat and the volatile sulfur compounds created by the bacteria which easily end up in the “nooks and crannies” of the tonsils, every time one swallows. Many people ask their dentist what these objects were, and more often than not the answer was ‘food particles’. This couldn’t be further from the truth! For more information, see this article about how to get rid of tonsil stones.

If you suffer from excess mucus, sinus congestion and post nasal drip there are essentially only a few different routes that you can take:

1. Use medication and or drugs to dry up the sinuses and prevent mucus buildup – all the while being careful to avoid a dry mouth, a likely side-effect of virtually all antihistamines. Dry mouth is the most common initiator of bad breath because it mimics an anaerobic environment, perfect for the “bugs” to pump out Volatile Sulfur Compounds. You should be careful about using any antihistamine too frequently – many are habit forming!
2. Use TheraBreath Nasal Sinus Formula. By squeezing 3-4 drops into each nostril (and then lightly inhaling to move the potent formula through the sinus) twice daily, most people can finally experience that fresh breath and taste feeling by eliminating the production of sulfur compounds created by the reaction of mucus and the anaerobic sulfur producing bacteria.
3. For chronic sinus problems, many users find relief by using the Hydropulse (an amazingly effective Nasal-Sinus Irrigator, designed by an Ear Nose & Throat specialist) to flush the sinuses. (Works even better when you add just 2-3 drops of AktivOxigen serum into the trough before each use).
4. Minimize the amount of post-nasal drip in your throat and sinuses, and eliminate the #1 side effect of excess mucus (Bad Breath!) by using oxygenating oral care products, such as TheraBreath, TheraBreath PLUS, AktivOxigen, PerioTherapy, and TheraBrite.

Medication and Drugs MAY help Prevent Post-Nasal Drip, But At What Cost?

There are dozens of different over-the counter nasal decongestants and antihistamines you can use to help relieve congestion and dry up excess mucus, and some of them are very good at what they claim but mostly they are TOO GOOD! They create an extremely dry mouth, which exacerbates bad breath. And even in cases where the dry mouth side effect is minimal, when you stop taking that medication the problem comes back, and almost always with a vengeance! This is because in some cases, your body will actually develop a resistance to any antihistamines or nasal decongestants, especially nasal sprays (be careful, because many sprays are habit forming – but NOT TheraBreath formulas!)

Suffice it to say, this should NOT be an option that you pursue.

Use a Nasal-Irrigator such as the Hydropulse® to Flush Your Sinuses free from Excess Mucus

Nasal Irrigation is probably the most effective method of eliminating post-nasal drip and helping to control sinus infections. The Hydro Pulse Sinus Irrigator is an FDA registered device supported by over 37 published medical reports. The unique pulsatile irrigation of the Hydro Pulse helps to restore ciliary function and relieve post nasal drip. A short period of regular use can stimulate the cilia (the tiny hair-like fibers in the nasal sinus passages) to restore their natural protective “sweeping & cleansing” action.

When you feel a sinus condition come on, or feel that you have persistent post-nasal drip and excess mucus, consistent daily use for 10 days should result in a clearing of the condition.

For best results, we recommend a combination of this easy-to-use home instrument with an oxygenating solution such as AktivOxigen serum.

Stop Bad Breath Associated with Post-Nasal Drip, Excess Mucus, and Sinus Problems

For people who don’t really have sinus problems, just “off and on” or seasonal post-nasal drip, then an alternative (and better) solution might be to minimize the amount of excess mucus in the back of the throat and more importantly to make sure you neutralize the odor caused by this excess mucus.

You see, the proteins in mucus make an excellent food source for the anaerobic bacteria that cause bad breath. The bacteria feed off the amino acids, Methionine and Cysteine, and create extremely odorous and lousy-tasting Volatile Sulfur Compounds as by-products, which are the odors and lousy tastes found in the medical condition halitosis, which YOU (or maybe everyone around you) more commonly knows as bad breath.

There are three key formulas that many people find extremely effective at neutralizing the odor caused by post-nasal drip:

• Nasal Sinus Drops
• AktivOxigen Tablets
• Extinguisher Spray

Keep in mind that it is always recommended that you use an oxygenating oral rinse and toothpaste such as TheraBreath as the primary ingredients of any bad breath treatment program

One Cause Of Bad Breath Is Dry Mouth

Saliva is a very important part of Oral Health. With regards to the topic at hand, Saliva provides 3 important functions:

1. Provides enzymes to help with digestion of food
2. Provides a method to stabilize the pH (keep the acid levels in check)
3. Provides high levels of oxygen in order to keep oral tissues healthy and fresh.

If you suffer from dry mouth (Xerostomia) symptoms, you naturally have less saliva. In turn, less saliva means less oxygen. If there is less oxygen available in the oral environment you have an anaerobic environment, which is perfect for these sulfur-producing bacteria. In essence, the bacteria are now capable of making high levels of sulfur gases, which in turn make the breath and taste worse.

There is an all natural Breath Mint, ZOX Breath Fresheners, designed to stimulate saliva flow AND freshen your breath. Containing no sugar, aspartame, or saccharin, this breath lozenge uses its patented zinc/oxygen/xylitol formula to naturally stimulate the salivary glands to produce an oxygen-rich type of saliva, which works extremely well with our Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide oral rinse and oral gel in order to restrict the production of the foul-smelling and tasting sulfide and mercaptan compounds.

It is also true that some tongue formations are also more conducive to dry mouth than others. Generally, the rougher one’s tongue, the more likely they are to have a bad breath problem. This is connected to the belief by some that “bad breath” can be an inherited trait. Truthfully, one cannot inherit the bacteria of bad breath, but one can inherit a specific “shape or geography” of tongue, just as one would inherit a parent’s eye color, hair color, height, and ear shape.

In the graphic on this page, one sees a deep groove going down the middle of the tongue; this is known as a “fissured” tongue and it may lead to a great deal of the anaerobic bacteria breeding at the bottom of this fissure, because Oxygen cannot get to the bottom of the fissure (another reason why tongue scraping without oxidizing products, is a waste of time.)

Some people may have a condition known as “hairy tongue”, which again describes the fibers that make up the tongue (papillae), being slightly longer than the norm. The longer the papillae, the more rough the appearance of the tongue and of course the better to trap the sulfur producing bacteria.

Once the tongue becomes very dry, or if the tongue becomes abused by extra hard scraping or brushing, the outer layer becomes very sensitive. One prevalent condition among older people is “burning tongue syndrome”. It is common among both sexes, but slightly higher among women. That fact has caused some scientists to believe that there is a hormonal component to “burning tongue syndrome”. Many patients who are diabetic, may notice a burning of the tongue, once they become thirsty. It is important, when one has these types of symptoms, to stay away from oral rinses that may burn or make your mouth dry. The resulting pain is indescribably painful according to many of my patients.

The standard recommendation for Burning Tongue Syndrome and Dry Mouth is the following:

1. Stop using oral products which make your mouth dry and/or contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.

2. Stop drinking citrus juices (tomato, orange, grapefruit, etc.)

3. Avoid coffee

4. Do not smoke

5. See your physician regarding possibility of Diabetes or Thyroid Problems

Daily Oral Regimen for Those who Have Burning Tongue Syndrome or Dry Mouth:

a. Coat tongue twice daily with TheraBreath ToothGel and let sit on tongue for 90 seconds.

b. Rinse with 1-2 capfuls of TheraBreath Oral Rinse for 90 seconds.

c. Drink 8 glasses of water per day.

d. Take Vitamin C on a daily basis as recommended on label.

Tonsils and Tonsiloliths:

(Those white-yellow globs that get stuck in your throat).

These bacteria can breed very easily in the back of the throat, and especially the tonsils (if you have them.) One important fact to remember: The bacteria never start off in the throat or tonsils. They only get there because the “bugs” originate on the back of the tongue – which contacts the throat & tonsils EVERY TIME you swallow. When someone has post nasal drip or allergies, it is possible to form little “white globs” – scientifically known as Tonsiloliths. They are a combination of sulfur compounds (produced by the bacteria) and mucous (from post nasal drip). Their smell (if you’ve checked them out) is very STRONG! Do not attempt to pick them out yourself – you’ll cause a lot of bleeding. Many dentists and physicians don’t know what they are – they are not food particles and it is not the sign of infection. Do not run out and have a tonsillectomy – because you will still have bad breath – because the bugs are still on the back of your tongue. (If you no longer have your tonsils, a similar reaction takes place if you have had a history of sore throats – your throat is much rougher).

Here’s what an increasing number of people with halitosis have done to solve this problem: There is a concentrated tablet, known as “AktivOxigen Tabs“, as an addition to the TheraBreath product line. When added to an 8 oz. bottle of water, the tablet will create a powerful Oxygenating solution which one can use as their mouthwash and gargle. People with tonsils, post nasal drip, or a white coating on their tongue have said that if they drink 4-5 capfuls of this solution, even their morning breath disappears! (It’s because the oxygenation attacks the bacteria and their odorous sulfur production on the very back of the tongue, throat and/or tonsils – which cannot be reached through any other method.) You can also make a double strength solution by adding 2 tablets to the 8 oz. bottle. AktivOxigen Tabs are easy to carry around and the resulting unflavored solution is also very refreshing!

Use Detoxification As A Bad Breath Cure

People with bad breath or halitosis can find it humiliating when other people find out that their breath smells disgusting. Keeping this problem hidden can be difficult because you can only do this by never speaking again. Obviously, most people would prefer to use another bad breath cure. Keeping your mouth inactive is a bad idea anyway. This is because that will restrict the flow of saliva which is used to reduce the amount of halitosis-causing bacteria. If you want to prevent your breath from smelling worse, you should use another bad breath cure. Fortunately, there are other bad breath cures to choose from.

Not every case of halitosis is due to problems in the mouth. There are other conditions, such as a weakened digestive system, that can also ruin your breath. A bad odor can result from an accumulation of toxins in the digestive system. When you exhale, this disgusting odor is what people smell on your breath. This condition is called digestive halitosis. A bad breath cure that can combat digestive halitosis is flushing the toxins out of the body.

Digestive halitosis is caused by a shortage of gastric juices or stomach acid. This will also cause the production of more gas and weakened intestinal muscles. This situation can make the digestion of food difficult which will lead to an accumulation of toxins in the mouth and stomach. This will show up as a white, sticky substance on your tongue. When the toxins reach your lungs, your breath will have a disgusting smell.

Detoxification is a good bad breath cure. It does an excellent job of eliminating odor-causing toxins from your body. A detoxification technique which also happens to be a natural cure for bad breath is drinking water. You will reduce the production of saliva if you do not drink enough water. This will make your mouth dry which will make it more inviting to bacteria. Another benefit of drinking water is that it will help you digest food better. This will reduce the accumulation of body wastes which is the cause of the bad smell that emanates from your mouth.

Many home remedies for bad breath can be used as methods for detoxification. There exists many green vegetables, fruits, and herbs that could make your breath smell better. Greens such as parsley or basil get their color from chlorophyll which also serves as a good natural cure for bad breath. Chlorophyll is called nature’s deodorizer because it can eliminate the toxins that can find their way into your lungs or stomach and destroy your breath.

Detoxification can also be performed by taking other herbs such as trifala, senna leaves, aloe vera, or rhubarb. You can also detoxify by drinking an aromatic tea that consists of fennel, cardamom, peppermint, or cinnamon. These are excellent home remedies for bad breath. Teas that contain these herbs can improve the digestion of food. This will make it easier to remove wastes from your bowel which will give undigested food less time to decompose in your stomach. This will prevent rotting food from ruining your breath.

Eating citrus fruits such as limes, grapefruits, lemons, or oranges can help eliminate the bacteria that can cause halitosis. The acids found in citrus fruits can make it hard for the bacteria in your mouth to survive. These acids can also increase saliva production which will improve digestion and remove toxins.

People can have a difficult time living with halitosis. Not only because of the disgusting odor but also because it may indicate that you are suffering from a more serious health condition. For anyone who has spent considerable time looking for a bad breath cure, detoxification may provide you with the bad breath solution that you always wanted. Detoxification can also keep your whole body healthy and prevent you from being afflicted with a more dire health problem.
