Drinking mint tea, jasmine tea, or other floral teas can help alleviate halitosis. If halitosis is caused by gastrointestinal disorders—such as gastritis or gastric ulcers—patients may benefit from drinking more barley tea, which aids digestion and helps relieve halitosis resulting from indigestion. However, identifying the underlying cause and administering targeted treatment is essential. Patients are advised to increase fluid intake and maintain regular bowel movements.
