This Is Why You Have Bad Breath And Here's The Solution

Have you ever woken up in the morning only to realize that you have bad breath? Well, you’re not alone. The problem affects almost everyone and while you can chew gum or use mouthwash to alleviate the issue, have you wondered why it occurs in the first place?

Bad breath is actually caused by something called tonsil stones. The formations are nothing more than clumps of mucus, bacteria and food that form together and become lodged in the back of your throat. They give off a foul smelling odor that resembles sulphur.

However, while tonsil stones are no danger to you and generally fall off on their own, some become particularly stuck and must be physically removed. A process that requires a few important tools and a lot of bravery.

First, you’ll need a long blunt object. The person in this video, used the end of her mother’s make-up brush, cleaning and disinfecting it first.

She says, she used this because it’s bigger and smoother than a cotton swab. In the video, she can be seen placing it at the back of her throat as she pries the stone from the crevices of her mouth

Since being posted, the video has been viewed more than 1.3 million times with many saying that they found it helpful in removing their own tonsil stones.
