Osmanthus tea can help eliminate halitosis (bad breath). In addition to its pleasant fragrance, osmanthus tea contains abundant aromatic compounds that not only help eradicate oral bacteria but also alleviate bad breath. Moreover, chrysanthemum tea aids spleen function and promotes digestion. Since disharmony of the spleen and stomach may lead to oral odor, osmanthus tea can help strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach. Patients are also advised to maintain good oral hygiene—brushing teeth regularly—and to rule out related conditions such as periodontitis.
