What to do about bad breath caused by excessive internal heat

When bad breath is caused by internal heat (deficiency fire), the following measures can be taken to improve the condition: 1. Dietary Regulation: Adjust dietary habits by reducing the intake of spicy and greasy foods, and increasing the proportion of fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples and tomatoes, to supply necessary nutrients and aid in recovery. 2. Medication: Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as Niuhuang Shangqing Pills or Huanglian Shangqing Pills may be taken. These medicines have the effect of clearing heat and reducing fire, which can effectively alleviate bad breath caused by internal heat. 3. Acupuncture Therapy: Treatment through acupuncture at specific points, such as the Shaoze point and Taixi point, can promote local blood circulation and help relieve bad breath. 4. Lifestyle Adjustment: Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing teeth regularly, using dental floss and mouthwash to remove bacteria and odor-causing substances in the mouth. At the same time, manage emotions rationally and avoid long-term negative emotions such as anxiety and stress, which can help reduce symptoms of internal heat.
