What is the reason why women have bad breath?

Today's women pay more and more attention to the impression they leave on others, but many women have bad breath, which greatly reduces their image, but they don't know how to improve this problem. Studies have found that women's bad breath is mainly caused by stomach fire, liver fire, intestinal blockage and oral bacteria growth. After understanding the reasons, female friends can take appropriate remedies. So what causes bad breath in women?

1. Stomach Fire

Most people will take a lot of tonic food in the winter, but excessive tonic food in the winter can easily lead to food accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract, digestion problems, and stomach heat and stomach fire. Generally, stomach fire not only causes bitter taste and bad breath, but also swollen and painful gums and bleeding gums in the morning are also mostly caused by stomach fire. In Annotated Medical Treatise on Stomach Fire, it is recorded that “stomach fire is raging, causing thirst and thirst, rotting gums, or bleeding from the gums, and red and hot face.” This shows that stomach fire is a major cause of oral diseases.

2. Liver Fire

Some people also experience a bitter taste in the mouth in the morning, which is mostly due to liver problems. Liver fire is one of the main causes of bitter taste in the mouth. In traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is responsible for the regulation of emotions and is involved in the metabolism of the body's emotions, qi, blood, bile, etc. However, if the liver fails to release its energy, there will be disharmony between the liver and gallbladder, liver qi attacking the stomach, and bile reflux, which will lead to bitter taste in the mouth, poor appetite and indigestion, as well as frequent farts, easy sighing, and pain in the ribs.

3. Intestinal obstruction

The intestinal obstruction mentioned here refers to constipation, stool retention and other phenomena.

If you eat too refined food for a long time and consume less dietary fiber, you are prone to stool retention and constipation. This situation will lead to secondary absorption of waste in the intestines. In addition to bad breath, it will also cause dark yellow complexion, spots, bloody stools, weight loss and fever.

4. Oral Bacteria Growth

Under normal conditions, almost everyone has bad breath when they wake up in the morning. This is due to the massive growth of oral bacteria, especially if you don’t brush your teeth before going to bed, you are more likely to have bad breath in the morning.

In a sense, the bacteria in the mouth are the most numerous in the human body. The moist and warm environment of the mouth provides conditions for bacterial reproduction, while food residues provide a lot of nutrition. There are about 150 million bacteria in every milliliter of saliva, and about 10 billion bacteria in every gram of dental tartar.

Bacteria multiply in the mouth and release odor, and food residues rot under the action of bacteria, also releasing odor. So, even a healthy body can have bad breath problems in the morning.
