Air of Halitosis!

If bad breath is in the air and it belongs to you, your digestion system may be trying to tell you something about your general health. Read on to find out what halitosis can mean and how to freshen your breath.

Causes of Halitosis
The gums and the mouth are an extension of the digestive system, and according to traditional Chinese medicine, they represent the condition of the stomach.

Certain foods such as garlic and onion contain volatile oils and sulfur compounds that give off their unpleasant odor.
