Chronic halitosis is a condition in which a person produces an offensive odor from their oral or nasal regions that they are unable to eliminate with normal oral hygiene techniques, such as brushing, flossing and rinsing. Typically, the bad breath odor comes from activity of bacteria in the mouth, usually from the back part of the tongue. Simply put, microorganisms in the mouth break down proteins and produce foul smelling gasses leaving the victim with 'bad breath'. In most cases, bad breath is not serious, but it can lead to significant embarrassment and self-consciousness. In rare situations, halitosis can be a sign of a more serious problem. Fortunately, you can cure the disease of halitosis by practicing some common oral hygiene procedures.

1. Bad breath is often simply the result of a dry mouth. If this is the case, simply eating a citrus fruit that is high in citric acid (such as an orange, lemon, or grapefruit) can help improve your breath significantly. The acid in such fruits stimulates the saliva, which helps suppress some of the odor-causing bacteria. At the same time, the tangy taste of such fruits leaves the mouth smelling fresh.

2. To bad breath cure, one should drink tea made up of the seeds of fenugreek. You can prepare the tea by putting one teaspoon of seeds in half a liter of cold water. Put it on heat and leave for 15 minutes over a low flame. It should be strained and used as tea.fenugreek. You can prepare the tea by putting one teaspoon of seeds in half a liter of cold water.

3. If you have bad breath, try eating 4 oz. of sugarless, nonflavored yogurt twice daily. The yogurt will counteract the spread of bacteria. Also, try an apple or sunflower seeds after you eat to help clean the mouth. There are herbs and spices you can try, such as mint leaves, parsley, cloves or cardamom. Several types of drinks will help with bad breath as well, such as pineapple juice or a hot cup of unsweetened tea. Try not to drink milk as it will leave bacteria and cause bad breath to increase.

4. Scraping the tongue is often a forgotten oral hygiene practice. To scrape the tongue of the 'bad breath causing' bacteria, take regular tooth brush and dip the toothbrush into mouthwash. The toothbrush now can be used to gently brush the back of tongue. You should repeat this step until the yellow/white film is brushed off of tongue. You can also change your diet to fight halitosis.

5. Baking soda is a fantastic remedy for bad breath, since it changes the pH (acidity) level in your mouth, which results in a less friendly environment for odor-causing bacteria. Simply add some baking soda onto your toothbrush, brush with it, and then rinse with water.
