Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 My wife is complaining about a kind of smell from my mouth even immedeatly after brushing. I'm healthy and have no problems except hypertension and taking medicines. I'm using Listerene mouth rinse regularly twice a day. I live in USA. Only change is that, recently (Aug-2007)I started taking Triphala and Suddha guggulu, one capsule each after lunch and also after dinner. Even my sneezing is also smelly, I have noticed this after started taking these medicines, and wanted to know whether this is from using these medicines? As I know there should not be any contra indications for these herbal medicines. I have stopped taking guggulu for the past 1 month, but continuing Triphala. I'm taking Harde from Zandu for the past 3 days, and I have no constipation, but taking as a detoxification medicine. But this foul smell from sneezing and bad breath is there for the past 3-4 months, that's the time I have started taking Tripahala and guggulu, hence these doubts. Except hypertension I have no problems, why this foul smell. Please let me know many suggestions from viadhyas, this is bothering me alot, and also a hurdle at workplace, awaiting many more solutions to resolve this issue.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Dear Mr Kumar Your problem is due to the Pitta dosha. Because Pitta dosha has a characteristic Gandha guna termed as Visra. I will advice you to start Arogyavardhini tab by Baidhyanath pharma, 2 tablets with pure ghee [ 1tease spoonful] before breakfast,lunch and dinner. Stop taking Triphala churna. If you wish good deoxidant then try fresh fruits. I think with in 15 days you will get satisfactory results. I will appreciate if you can send your birth details [time,date and place] They are for my study.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Listerine is damaging to the mucous membranes which will not help your condition. Apart from other aspects of harm Listerine will dry out your mouth whereas moisture will help keep your mouth healthy. Cleaning your teeth with plain simple soap has proved to be more effective than anything else for keeping teeth and mouth healthy. When my daughter had a similar problem she was found to have an infection in her nose and possibly in her sinuses. To reduce sinus involvement eliminating milk from the diet can help together with Pranayama and Hatha. Water intake should be at least 2 litres a day. Diet will be a contributing factor in your problem. Best, __________ > My wife is complaining about a kind of smell from my mouth even > immedeatly after brushing.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Thanks Upadhye for your suggestions. Can I know the rational behind stopping Triphala, as this controls all the tridoshas, and a good tonic per any ayurvedhic sites and vaidhyas. And no where it's mentioned that bad breath and sneezing smell is due to Triphala. Can you through somemore insite is appreciated. I have habit of consuming fresh fruits (like pears, oranges, grapes, etc.,) daily and even fresh vegetable salads for years before and after lunch. I also take nuts like pistachios, cashews in moderate every day / week. Vaidhyas please let me know if you have treated a situation like this. Many thanks in advance... _______________ > Your problem is due to the Pitta dosha. Because Pitta dosha has a characteristic Gandha guna termed as Visra.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Mr. Kumar, It may be known to you, but I'll mention it in case it is not. Drinks must be swished around the mouth many,many times to embed some saliva into them. Food must be masticated/chewed 32 times each bite. Maybe mint teas would be of assistance. Mint is always inspiring. best of luck, Chamae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Dear Kumar Thanks for queries I do have treated with sucess the cases like yours. I think you are mixing many things. I have written that if you are taking Triphala as an anti oxidant then it is better to have fresh fruits. Triphala will never cause bad breath nor it is harmful even you have taken it lifelong. Triphala churna is used specifically as mild laxative [ Pitta shodhana]. If you wish Triphala should act as Rasayana [ anti oxidant or tonic] then you have to use it in adequate doses and with specific ways. Triphala controls all Trodosha is a blanket statement. If it is true then there is no need of any medicines except Triphala. Ayurveda says Nastimulam anaushadham That means every plant is a medicine but that should be used in proper situation and adequate doses. Hence I think using Triphala in your case is is not required.
