Halitosis is a foul smell emanating from the mouth. Many people across the world suffer from this problem which often causes them embarrassment. Companies manufacturing dental products often use this problem in their advertisements.
According to Ayurveda, poor digestion causes the accumulation of toxins in the body, producing blockages and stagnation within the minute channels of the body. These toxins have offensive odour which then appears in breath. If the disorder is due to infection within the mouth, treatment consists of removing the infection and restoring dental health. In the case of digestive disorders, herbs that promote digestion are administered and toxins are cleansed from the body. Diet and lifestyle adjustments are also advised for best results.
