Prevention and Treatment of Bad Breath

Do you struggle with bad breath (Halitosis)?

Bad breath is often linked to poor oral hygiene, gum disease, or tooth decay. By the time many clients visit my clinic in Western Sydney, they’ve already seen a dentist but are still desperate for answers.

That's because there are other underlying causes that could be contributing to persistent bad breath:

Infections in the oral cavity, throat, nose, or sinuses (including post-nasal drip)
Poor digestion of proteins, constipation, or imbalanced gut bacteria (often due to antibiotic overuse)
Liver dysfunction or poor diet

If serious conditions such as liver issues have been ruled out, the following naturopathic treatments can help restore fresh breath and overall health:

Naturopathic Treatment

Take a high-quality probiotic to support healthy gut bacteria
Increase seasonal fruits and vegetables to relieve constipation
Drink plenty of fluoride-free water daily; add a squeeze of lemon or lime to support liver function
For gum infections, gargle 3–5 times daily with 1 tsp salt in 1 cup of pre-boiled, cooled water, holding it in your mouth for as long as possible
Try oil pulling to cleanse the mouth and teeth
Take 5 grams of a high-quality powdered Vitamin C supplement with meals
Avoid strong-smelling foods like blue cheese, anchovies, and salami
Eat raw garlic regularly or take Allimax to help eliminate harmful bacteria and parasites
Replace your toothbrush monthly and floss daily
Avoid commercial mouthwashes that contain artificial flavours and sugars, worsening the issue
If you experience recurring sore throats or sinus infections, consult a naturopath to address the root cause
Consider a short juice fast to cleanse your system and refresh your body
