Aloe vera for bad breath: how to use it?
Bad breath is not pleasant for anyone, right? At Aloe Vera Las Coronas, we bring you an ally that will end this problem… aloe vera or sábila!
Let's be honest, there is no miracle cure for bad breath, but this plant will help treat it very effectively.
We are mistaken if we think we don’t have bad breath in the morning; let’s not fool ourselves. Some causes of this are:
- Dryness in the mouth.
- Consumption of tobacco or alcohol.
- Some oral problem.
- Improper oral hygiene.
These are the most common causes of halitosis, that unpleasant odor that makes your partner or close people wrinkle their nose.
It is worth noting that there are two types of halitosis:
- Physiological halitosis: unpleasant odor after prolonged fasting.
- Pathological or chronic halitosis: occurs more frequently even when brushing teeth regularly.
The latter cases are difficult to prevent, and the solution involves medical treatment.
In reality, there are many causes that can cause bad breath:
- 60% are due to oral or mouth-related causes.
- Extra-oral causes (from the respiratory system, digestive tract, or systemic) account for 17%.
- While 23% of patients do not have true halitosis, but actually have taste sensations that lead them to believe they have bad breath.
According to Dr. Jonas Nunes, director of the Breath Institute and the Halitosis Hospital Unit at the Teknon Center in Barcelona, one of the greatest advantages for these types of problems is the use of both aloe vera gel and aloe vera juice, as well as the ingestion of the plant, with almost no side effects.
