Bad Breath Report Reveals That Organic Remedies May Be Best

A single bad breath report may not be proof positive about anything but a growing amount of evidence is pointing towards organic remedies as the best solutions for halitosis. While many of the best bad breath remedies are made with antiseptic agents that neutralize oral bacteria responsible for halitosis, they may truly be creating a bigger problem if made with inorganic ingredients.

Simply stated, the human body just does not respond well to inorganic chemistry. We are organic beings which is why all natural bad breath products are far less likely to cause side effects than those created in laboratories and produced in factories. Alcohol is one of the most common ingredients to find in bad breath products because it is both inexpensive and controls halitosis by neutralizing the oral bacteria. However, the human body considers alcohol to be a toxin and immediately tries to flush it from the system which is why dehydration is so common after drinking heavily (and the true source of a hangover!).

Any bad breath product made with alcohol is likely to cause dehydration and dry mouth. While this may not seem like a serious problem, the truth is that our own saliva helps prevent bad breath all day long. Morning breath is caused in part by a lowering of the salivation rate during sleep. We awaken to a white, thin layer called plaque that forms when anaerobic bacteria combine with pellicle (an invisible, sticky layer that helps protect teeth and soft tissue but is easily invaded by anaerobic bacteria).

Now if we remove this layer of plaque from our teeth and the back of the tongue, the morning bad breath will disappear and we should remain halitosis free for the remainder of the day. However, if we try to eliminate the bacteria and bad breath with some product made from alcohol or other harsh chemical ingredients, we will temporarily reduce the oral flora but it will quickly recover because of dry mouth and no saliva.

The best halitosis remedy will tend to be made from organic ingredients that have antiseptic properties. Organic and herbal bad breath products are far less likely to cause side effects like dry mouth and many contain ingredients that act as antibacterial agents. Practicing good oral hygiene and remembering to avoid dehydration and anything that will have a diuretic effect on the body will go a long way in your bad breath prevention strategy. Behaviors and products known to produce a diuretic effect and potentially cause bad breath include:

• Drinking alcohol or using bad breath solutions made with the harsh and toxic chemical
• Smoking tobacco
• Using stimulants
• Consuming caffeine
• Medication side effect
• Ketosis

Again, no single bad breath report is conclusive but low saliva levels have been proven to increase problems with halitosis which is why you want to avoid remedies made with harsh chemicals that may lead to dehydration and dry mouth.
