Since you have reached that stage, it’s time to take care of it. Having a bad breath is a medical condition, and if you have it, you need help.
Homeopathy is of great help for the treatment of bad breath. Homeopathy provides a natural treatment for bad breath. With homeopathy, the root cause is identified and then treated effectively.

Good morning
As having halitosis for a long time, and occasionally throughout my whole life, trying all I could think of without much improvement, I just thought to this I never tried before, homeopathy.
My symptoms are:
Often dry mouth, especially during the night, regardless of amount of water I drink during the day
But one thing is specific that whatever I eat, soon after that, the taste of it is in my mouth and especially at the base of my tongue and stays even up to next day. But not just taste of it and smell, but I feel like there I no any obstraction between my mouth and my digestive track. So it feels that most of digestive gasses seems to come to my mouth. And especially if I have to talk to someone, after half a minute my mouth is drying and smell comes out, which repulse people.
As I need to communicate a lot with people, this is of course my problem
I’ve seen rhe doctor, considering having some problem with GERD, but it’s not the case.
Now I’m on some Ayurvedic treatment, which include diet and some Ayurvedic herbal tablets. A bit improvement, but not so much.
So, perhaps homeopathy could be of better benefit.
Thank you, and if you can advise me further.

Hello doctor,
I have been suffering from bad breath issue for the past ten years. It has increased over the years and now its chronic. I realized bad stomach is the culprit. I suffer from irritable bowl syndrome. I am diagnosed with mild duodenal peptic ulcer. so I used medicine for H. Pylori. Not very useful. I try to avoid foods that aggravate bad breath. I am helplessly going for lots of mouth washes. Tried lot of herbal products too. I take Probiotic tablets sometimes.
I’ve tried every possible remedy. My condition is only worsening day after day.
My self esteem badly hit. I am a teacher. I am unable to get along with my profession.
Please help.
Dear Dr. Sharma, My son, is 27 years old, he’s experiencing foul breath, he’s been treated by the dentist for teeth cleaning and gum bleeding, which is evaluated by the dentist last week and it’s fine now. He has a history of chronic constipation from the early stages of life one or two small bowel movements per week. He is a picky eater, he has a low appetite. we are giving him castor oil, and Senna tablets as a stool softener, which helped him momentarily He doesn’t drink enough water during the day.
Regards
Dr. Khan

Try homeopathic , it will definately help. had the exact same issue, now completely fine
Hi,
It’s not the reply. I’m just wandering, before embarking to the homeopathic treatment, is it worthy. As we all tried so many things without success. My one is also a long dragging problem, how effective is even homeopathy. We all spent a lot of money and time without much improvement
Thank you

I’ve been suffering from bad breath for a very long time sometimes my mouth is dry sometimes it’s not dry but my bad breath persist . What medication should I take
I was sent this information by homeomother for bad breath. I was telling her that when I get up in the morning after brushing my teeth I feel like my breath is never clean. I feel like I always have an odor. I brush and floss 2 plus times a day. I have no bleeding gums etc. I have asked my dentist and they always say everything looks great. Homeomother had me try Mercurius Solubilis 6c 3 pellets a day for 2 weeks but it didn’t do anything. Looking for another suggestion that may give me some hope. I have battled with this for years.
