Did you know that certain medical systems, like oriental medicine and Ayurveda use breath odor as a diagnosing tool for determining a person’s state of health?

Conditions like diabetes (sugary, sweet odor), kidney-related problems (uric acid odor) as well as digestive problems can produce a change in breath odor.

Alternative medicine practitioner’s in the US and Great Britain are in the process of producing equipment that can perform “breath analysis” to diagnose such illnesses as diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver, stomach ulcers, lung cancers, and other diseases known to produce significant changes in breath odor.

On another note we have all experienced bad breath one time or another. An easy and effective mouthwash is all you need for the occasional bad breath, or daily to prevent it.
