🌿 Fresh Breath Remedy for Tonsil Stones & Bad Odor
Ingredients
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1 cup warm water
Optional addition:
-
A few drops of peppermint oil or a squeeze of lemon for extra freshness
Instructions
-
Dissolve baking soda in the warm water.
-
Gargle with the solution for 30–60 seconds, making sure it reaches the back of the throat and tonsil area.
-
Spit it out (do not swallow).
-
Repeat 2–3 times daily, especially after meals.
Why it works:
-
Baking soda neutralizes odors and balances pH in the mouth.
-
The warm water helps loosen debris in the tonsils and reduce bacteria.
Additional Tips
-
Stay hydrated — dry mouth worsens odor.
-
Gently clean your tongue daily with a tongue scraper.
-
Consider gargling with salt water once a day to reduce bacterial buildup.
-
Practice good oral hygiene: brushing twice a day and flossing.
-
For persistent tonsil stones, occasionally gently massage the tonsils or use a tonsil stone removal tool safely.
⚠️ See a doctor if:
-
Tonsil stones are large, painful, or recurring frequently
-
You experience swelling, fever, or throat infections
