🗣️ Halitosis in TCM – Understanding Bad Breath

Bad breath isn’t just a dental issue—it can be a reflection of internal imbalance.

In TCM, Kou Chou arises when Heat, Damp-Heat, or Food Stagnation obstructs the middle burner, especially the Stomach and Spleen.

😷 Western Causes:
Gingivitis, smoking, and alcohol
Constipation, dehydration
Lung abscess
Sjögren’s syndrome
Certain medications or cancer

🌿 Common TCM Causes:
Improper diet (too much greasy or spicy food)
Emotional stress
Internal Heat or Phlegm accumulation

🎯 Treatment Options:
👂 Ear points: Stomach, Lung

🥗 Dietary recommendations:
Barley • Oats • Watercress • Spinach • Lemons • Cucumbers • Arugula • Swiss chard • Apples • Strawberries

💡 Tip: Always rule out dental causes before applying TCM principles—then treat the root (Heat, Phlegm, Damp) to restore harmony and fresh breath!
