Perhaps the most unorthodox way to cure halitosis (bad breath) is through acupuncture in Cleveland. This is the practice of using very slender needles stuck into the skin in strategic points to hinder certain nerves to alter the flow of Chi. This Chi is thought to be the life energy that flows through our bodies to give us the power to feel, work, move, and think.
For thousands of years, Chinese medicine has been used by countless number of people to help restore or upgrade their health and wellbeing. The approach used by Chinese medicine is a whole lot different than the one used by the West. According to Chinese medicine, the mind, body, and spirit is all connected through Chi. One of the most important tenets of Chinese medicine is the theory of Yin and Yang, specifically, the balance of Yin and Yang. Good health is engendered and more importantly, life is born between the balanced interaction of Yin and Yang. When this balance is off, the whole body suffers from ill-health and pain. In Chinese medicine health and balance go hand in hand.
In Chinese medicine theory, a hot stomach is the cause of bad breath. This literally means that the stomach carries excess heat leading to problems such as frontal lobe headaches, mouth ulcers, gum swelling and disease, and bad breath. Too much heat in the stomach can be caused by various factors that can include eating food that has spoiled, stomach flu, an unhealthy diet, very high levels of stress and many others. Excess heat in the stomach is a common condition and most people are unaware that they have it. When symptoms arise, they just seem to tolerate it or sometimes take antacids for relief. Since antacids merely mask the symptoms and do not really address the underlying problem (excess heat in the stomach), the symptoms will often return. With acupuncture treatment, not only are the symptoms allayed but the root of the problem is removed curing your problem for good.
Having been practiced for thousands of years, acupuncture has evolved to be the extremely versatile and effective treatment that it is now. Acupuncture restores balance to your Yin and Yang that in turn helps restore the wellbeing and health of your body. In turn, this allows your stomach to return to its normal temperature level, which leads to the cure of your halitosis. But in order to get guaranteed results, you need to seek treatment from a licensed and qualified acupuncturist. You may be able to find one near your area by going online and searching for the NCCAOM (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) website. You can also talk to your doctor for referrals or from friends and family who have successfully sought acupuncture treatment for your halitosis problem.
Usually, people are scared of needles and most of us don’t find the idea of having needles stuck into our bodies that appealing. However, there are less invasive acupuncture procedures that are now available. Talk to your acupuncturist about them and get cured of your bad breath once and for all
