Bad breath is also know as halitosis. Halitosis can be caused by the foods with the strong odor,  digestion disorders, gum problems, and an overpopulation of food particles that get trapped in the mouth.

Of cause, a colon cleansing should be the first step to the fresher breath. If you use Ultimate Colon Cleanse, then you will need to take it for 2 or 3 months to remove toxic waste matter which may have been stuck in the folds and wrinkles of your digestive system for years.

Everyone knows that toothpaste, mints, chewing gums, and mouth washes can help to temporary freshen your breath, but not everyone knows that a yogurt can also fight bad breath. Japanese microbiologists conducted a study that proved that the active bacteria in yogurt attack the bad-breath-causing bacteria that live on the tongue.  All you need to do is eat twice a day three-ounce serving of sugar-free yogurt.

If you need a quick fix in the office, get yourself Myra® Oral Rinse Mouthwash. It is a natural herbal remedy that contains 12 essential oils and herbs like Aloe Vera,Tea Tree Oil, Vitamin C, Calendula Extract, Echinacea Root Extract, Goldenseal Root Extract, Rhattany Root Extract, Witch Hazel Extract and more!
Just dilute a drop in water for a refreshing mouthwash and healthier gums.

Or if you are running late to an important meeting, chew your way to fresh breath and whiter teeth with Supersmile Professional Whitening Gum .This all natural gum is actually good for you, because it is packed with active ingredient Calprox, which promotes healthy gums, removes stains and freshens your breath.

Stay healthy,

The scalp is prone to breakouts just like the face and body. Whiteheads, blackheads and pimples on the upper forehead, at the hairline and in the scalp are not uncommon. Such problems can be caused by genetics, hormones and bacteria. There is also a direct connection between an oily scalp and scalp acne.

You have more serious situation if you have folliculitis. It looks similar to acne. It can develop anywhere there is hair on the body. It is occurring when there is blockage and infection of the hair follicle. The bacteria that causes folliculitis is different from the acne bacteria and can easily spread.

There are several solutions to this problem:

1. To treat an unexpected blemish or two, apply salicylic acid to a cotton swab and dab it on the pimple.

2. By mild irritations and acne, try a shampoo with 5% Benzoyl Peroxide like PCA Skin (pHaze 31) BPO 5% Cleanser. It consists of anti-inflammatory botanicals that work to control redness and calm irritations.  It doesn’t dry out skin like other cleansers with Benzoyl Peroxide, so no wonder it gets  rave customer reviews.

3. Medicated shampoos with salicylic acid are also good. They exfoliate the hair follicles and prevent them from getting clogged.

4. If you have severe case of scalp acne, ask your dermatologist if an antibiotic (topical or oral) is right for you.

Stay healthy,
