A kind of water can help get rid of bad breath

Usually, bad breath is related to dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach.

Traditional Chinese medicine says: "The stomach is responsible for receiving, and the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation; the stomach qi is responsible for descending, allowing food and its waste to descend, while the spleen qi is responsible for ascending, so that the essence of food can nourish the whole body." If the spleen and stomach are damp and hot, the dampness will trap the spleen and the spleen yang will not rise. In addition, it will also lead to "stomach qi not descending and turbid qi rising." This "rising turbid air" will go up along the esophagus to the mouth, and then form a smell similar to that of rotten food in the mouth, causing bad breath.

Recommend a prescription for patients with bad breath

Lotus leaf tea. Soak 3 to 5 grams of lotus leaves in water and drink it every day. In addition to the effect of clearing away heat and dampness, lotus leaves can also strengthen the spleen and assist yang. Therefore, drinking lotus leaves instead of tea can clear away dampness and heat.
