    I am looking for solutions to combat food related mouth breath. I love healing my gut with foods like onions and garlic. But it causes a different mouth breath. I heard Mouthwashes are toxic and not good. Do you have recommendations to solve this? Do you recommend something other than mouthwash?

    Thank you <3

    Hi  – I first just want to clarify and confirm that the bad breath is from eating sulfur-containing foods like onions and garlic, correct? You don’t have bad breath otherwise? Because bad breath could have many different root causes which you can read about HERE in the Symptom Dictionary handout.

    In the same handout, I also share a homemade peppermint oil breath freshener recipe you could try.

    Other things to consider for freshening your breath:
    • Coconut oil pulling. Place 1-2 Tbsp (or enough to swish around in your mouth) of coconut oil and swish around for 10 mins. Spit in the garbage and follow it with tongue scraping. I like to use copper tongue scrapers for additional antibacterial action.
    •  If DIY options aren’t for you, you can look at purchasing:• Non-toxic mouthwash. I like the Lumineux brand
    • doTerra supermint beadlets. These are small beads filled with edible mint essential oil that pops/melts in your mouth and freshens it up.
    • Dr. Shultz products “Oral Therapy” and “Fresh Breath Plus” (it’s SUPER potent!)

    We also have this DIY mouthwash recipe courtesy of Dr. Roze in our Recipes>Wellness in our resource library.

    Hope this gives you plenty of options to choose from.

    Side Note – Is it bad if one eats onions daily? I will try to reduce it but I feel so much better. Been doing all the BB Protocol as well. PS Your Website + App rocks

    onions are wonderful if you can tolerate them and enjoy them! It’s one of the “stinky” foods I recommend in the mold illness course. So go for it!

    And I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying B Better! Can’t wait for you and everyone to experience our new platform and app… currently under construction with a winter release hopefully.
