Bad breath can happen for many reasons. Digestive troubles can be the culprit, as can mouth infections or poor oral hygiene habits. In many of the more serious cases of halitosis, traditional breath fresheners just won’t work. Some of the following symptoms indicate that you might need to switch to a natural breath freshener.

• You’re a mouth breather – If you sleep with your mouth open, you’re likely to wake up with a more serious case of morning breath than others. To cure this, you’re likely using a mouthwash at night and in the morning, but guess what? You’re making the problem worse. The reason night time mouth breathers have such bad breath is because their mouths get so dry during the night. But, nearly all traditional mouthwashes and types of breath fresheners have alcohol, which just dries your mouth out further. A product made from mint oils that can be used full strength as a breath freshener or diluted with water as a mouthwash is a much better choice.
• You’re sensitive to alcohol – Some traditional mouthwashes contain so much alcohol that they’ve been used by alcoholics in a pinch to get high. If you have any sensitivity to alcohol, you should avoid traditional mouthwashes and go for all natural mint oil based products.
• You have gingivitis – Gingivitis and halitosis go hand in hand. This is because they can both be caused by 22 common bacteria in the mouth. And, both problems can be solved by using a good anti-bacterial and anti-fungal to kill the bacteria. Mint oils are far and away the best anti-bacterial/anti-fungal you can use to kill the bacteria in your mouth. Regular use should rid you of halitosis and should make your next visit to the dentist a pleasant one.

Of course, while those who fall into the categories listed above should definitely consider switching to an all natural breath freshener, it’s likely that everyone could benefit from such a switch. All natural breath fresheners made from mint work beautifully to freshen your breath and improve the health of your mouth, too. So, choose an all natural breath freshener and clean up your mouth!
