How to identify anaerobic bad breath

We know that the most important cause of bad breath is the odor produced by the growth of bacteria. Anaerobic bacteria are an important cause of bad breath. Some bad breath caused by anaerobic bacteria often leads to recurring attacks. In fact, as long as the medication is used properly, anaerobic bacteria can be completely cured. For example, some broad-spectrum antibiotics can be used for treatment. Norfloxacin, metronidazole and other drugs can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

Tips for treating bad breath:

1. Fresh lotus root contains a large amount of carbohydrates and rich calcium, phosphorus, iron and various vitamins. It has the effects of clearing heat, nourishing blood and relieving restlessness. When eating, you can take the fresh lotus root and simmer it over low heat. After slicing it, add appropriate amount of honey to remove bad breath and relieve restlessness.

2. Lotus seeds: Lotus seeds are fragrant and delicious, and have the effects of nourishing the heart and spleen, nourishing blood and calming the mind. In recent years, biologists have confirmed through experiments that ingredients such as nelumbinine and aromatic glycosides contained in lotus seeds have a sedative effect. In addition, eating lotus seeds can promote the pancreas to secrete insulin, thereby increasing the supply of serotonin, which can calm the nerves.

3. Soak 15g of hawthorn, 30g of malt, 30g of sour jujube kernel and 15g of longan pulp in clean cold water for 20 minutes, then simmer over low heat. After boiling, simmer for another 20 minutes. Take it one hour before going to bed. It has the effects of strengthening the stomach and digestion, nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, and removing bad breath.

4. Sugar water: If you are often irritable and angry, you can drink a cup of sugar water before going to bed. Because after drinking sugar water, the body can produce a large amount of serotonin. Serotonin enters the brain, which can inhibit the excitement of the cerebral cortex and make it easier to fall asleep. Of course, diabetic patients should not use this method to avoid causing large fluctuations in blood sugar.

5. Fruits such as apples and bananas can resist muscle fatigue. Placing fruits such as tangerines and oranges next to your pillow can also help eliminate the irritability caused by fatigue.

The principle of TCM treatment of bad breath:

There are many folk methods to quickly relieve bad breath, such as gargling with salt water, drinking lemon water, tea, hawthorn water, etc. Some patients also use breath fresheners to suppress the bad breath. However, experts warn us that the occurrence of bad breath is related to many factors. Especially for severe halitosis, treatment targeting the superficial symptoms only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, and is not effective in curing halitosis.
