    I was told by my family doc (also practicing Ayurveda) that it’s good to scrape one’s tongue every morning, as toxins that discharge during the night build up on the tongue. “Oil-pulling” (the practice of swishing around a light-unrefined oil, like safflower, for 15 minutes first thing in the morning) can also clean the teeth, heal gum issues and other benefits can help with bad breath.

    Coming from a Chinese medicine perspective, I would also suggest that poor digestion in the stomach can have an effect on the breath, as can certain medications.
