Whether Niuhuang Qingwei Wan can treat halitosis depends on the specific cause, as halitosis can stem from numerous underlying factors and cannot be generalized. If halitosis results from spleen-stomach deficiency or indigestion, taking Niuhuang Qingwei Wan may effectively alleviate the symptom. However, if halitosis is caused by rhinitis or other medical conditions, Niuhuang Qingwei Wan will not resolve the halitosis. It is recommended that individuals experiencing halitosis promptly identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
