Chronic bad breath is not normal, and mouthwash may be making it worse

What about bad breath? If it's chronic, I wish people would just stop ignoring it. This is your body yelling at you that something's not in balance. This is where so many people reach to those traditional mouthwashes multiple times a day. And those conventional mouthwashes that are high in alcohols and astringent, they're just carpet bombing your mouth. They're irritating the mucosa. Chronic use have been linked to certain oropharyngeal cancers, but plus it depletes the nitrate reduction pathway, the bacteria that help there. And so it can impact your nitric oxide levels, which can impact your cardiovascular health, your immune health. And there's data to show this chronic use of these strong mouthwashes can increase your blood pressure.
