NATURAL REMEDIES FOR BAD BREATHTea tree oil, the first aid kit in a bottle
It really is a product no household should be without. Its active properties are extraordinary against viral, fungi, and bacterial infections. With it you can treat a wide variety of conditions and illnesses. Bronchitis, asthma, athelete’s foot, yeast infections, and the list goes on and on. In our case, we use it to treat bad breath thanks to its potent natural anti-bacterial properties making tea tree oil one of the best natural remedies for bad breath. Tea tree oil is extracted from a tree native to New South Wales in Australia and has been used by the aborigines for thousands of years for medicinal purposes. The essential oil is extracted through a steam distillation process that is no different than most essential oil extraction. Treating halitosis with tea tree oilWhen treating chronic bad breath, there is no substitute to this product. Its natural anti-bacterial properties are extremely effective against anaerobic bacteria and as a result will disinfect your mouth of opportunistic germs. It’s important to keep the population of bacteria responsible for halitosis to a strict minimum.
In our approach of treating bad breath, we use it in our homemade toothpaste as well as our homemade mouthwash for the task. By using tea tree oil at least twice a day (morning and night), we maintain proper oral balance and keep volatile sulfur compound release below detectable levels by the human nose. A great cure when used with cautionThis product really is a great natural cure for bad breath, but because it is a strong acting product, you should use it with care. A small minority of people have shown to be allergic to it. The best way to check is by putting a drop or two on your wrist for the night to test your reaction. When using in toothpaste or mouthwash, start with a lower dosage and work your way up. A dosage of 5 drops for either one should be more than sufficient and give long lasting results.
