The National Day is coming soon, and I'm a little excited. I can take this opportunity to kiss my crush. But when I think about my long-term problem of yellow teeth and bad breath, I start to feel down. Today, I'm here to help you solve this problem!
[Causes of Bad Breath]
Oral diseases are the main cause of bad breath, but it is also important to note that bad breath can be a manifestation of certain visceral organs. Some organic intestinal diseases can also cause bad breath.
1. Pathological bad breath
Untreated dental caries, dental calculus, tobacco stains, and not brushing your teeth can all cause bad breath.
2. Physiological bad breath
The cause of bad breath is often due to spleen deficiency unable to transform water dampness, which blocks the absorption of the stomach and intestines, leading to bad breath caused by feces hanging on the intestinal wall. Therefore, bad breath is often accompanied by constipation and loose stools. On the one hand, it is due to spleen deficiency and yang deficiency, and on the other hand, it is due to the relaxation of intestinal muscles and insufficient movement, which is a deficiency of spleen qi.
[Tips to Eliminate Bad Breath]
Tip 1: Orange Peel
Dry the orange peel (you can sun-dry, bake, or roast it) until it becomes very dry and crispy. Grind it into powder and store it in a bottle. Dip a little powder on the toothbrush after squeezing toothpaste, and start brushing your teeth to whiten them. My teeth were also very yellow, and I have stains from smoking. Since using this method to brush my teeth for over two months, my teeth have become noticeably whiter. Tips: The orange peel must be completely dried and crispy before being ground into powder.
Tip 2: Baking Soda
Dip the toothbrush in some baking soda (edible alkaline) and brush your teeth as usual once or twice a week for 3 minutes each time to keep your teeth bright and clean.
Tip 3: Vinegar
Hold half a mouthful of vinegar in your mouth, keep it for 2-3 minutes, and then spit it out. Brush your teeth vigorously and rinse with water afterwards. Although this method is effective, it may make your teeth feel sour and numb (this feeling will last for about 2 minutes), so it is not recommended for continuous use. It can be used once every 2 months, otherwise it will affect the health of your teeth. In case of emergency, you can use this method to quickly make your teeth white.
Vinegar is the most common one.
Tip 4: Lemon Juice
After brushing your teeth, dip a cotton cloth in lemon juice and wipe each tooth. Every night after brushing your teeth, use a piece of gauze dipped in lemon juice to rub your teeth. Your teeth will become white and bright. Lemon has strong cleansing power, whitening effect, and contains vitamin C, which can strengthen tooth roots. It is a good method for teeth whitening.
Tip 5: Peanut Crumbs
Chew up some raw peanuts and don't swallow them. Use the peanut crumbs as toothpaste to brush your teeth, which can make your teeth white.
Tip 6: Cuttlefish Bone
Grind the cuttlefish bone into powder and use it as toothpaste. It can have an immediate whitening effect. Cuttlefish bone is also known as squid bone or squid. There is a large white bone on its body, and gently scraping it can produce a lot of white powder. Using this powder as toothpaste can make your teeth white again.
Tip 7: Strawberries
Mash a fresh strawberry and use it to brush your teeth or rub it on the surface of your teeth. Keep doing this for about a week, and you will see obvious whitening effects.
How about it? These ingredients are commonly used at home, so why not give them a try?
