What to do if you have bad breath due to excessive liver fire

Many people have the problem of bad breath in life. When bad breath occurs, it will bring some distress to people's life and work, especially it will be embarrassing when talking to others. When bad breath occurs, you should pay attention to it, adjust your living and eating habits in time, and find out the cause of the bad breath. In general, the main cause of bad breath is excessive liver fire.

Types of bad breath caused by excessive liver fire : 1. People with excessive liver fire often stay up late or eat some fried, hot foods that cause inflammation. Staying up late often leads to endocrine disorders, which makes it impossible for the body to excrete toxins and impurities during the normal detoxification time (10 pm - 2 am), which increases the burden on the liver and causes excessive liver fire. 2. In addition, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney belongs to water and the liver belongs to wood, and water produces wood. Therefore, when the liver fire is strong, more water is needed. At this time, the kidney water will weaken, leading to kidney deficiency. Therefore, this type of people generally experience dry and bitter mouth, and because there is not enough moisture in the mouth, bacteria grow, which causes bad breath.

How to treat bad breath caused by liver fire: 1. Diet therapy: mainly by taking cool or slightly cold foods to reduce liver fire, such as boiling water with water chestnuts, carrots, pears and sugarcane (you can boil water together or choose one or two of them to boil together), or boiling water with imperata root, drink it 2-3 times a day until the bad breath is eliminated. But please note that if your spleen and stomach are weak, you should not drink this cold soup frequently.

2. Drug treatment: First of all, the main task is to reduce liver fire. You can choose medicinal herbs that can calm the liver and reduce fire, such as white peony, selfheal, angelica sinensis and golden chrysanthemum, and boil them together into a soup, or use selfheal, white peony and platinum flower to boil them into a soup. You can add honey appropriately to reduce the bitterness, and drink it every day until the symptoms of bad breath disappear. At the same time, it is also necessary to use medicinal materials with yin-nourishing effects such as Dendrobium to replenish the lack of kidney water caused by excessive liver fire, and slowly adjust the liver and kidneys to a balanced state.
