The author of the featured articles is Dr. Harold Katz from Therabreath, the creator of excellent dental care and breath products that are on the cutting edge of today's research. So many so called "natural toothcare products" contain questionable ingredients like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Saccharin. SLS which is a very inexpensive foaming ingredient is linked to canker sores and health problems.

We previously used dental care products which contained an ingredient known as "active" Chlorine Dioxide which was once the most optimal ingredient in dental care products. Now Therabreath has surpassed this older ingredient and uses a superior ingredient called Sodium Chloride, which is actually a chemical used in high quality water purification systems. This active ingredient is Stabilized and generates Oxidizing Power as soon as it enters your mouth.

Dear Hemn, Post nasal drip is the accumulation of mucous at the back of the nose and throat with a sensation of liquid dripping down the throat. This condition is a symptom, meaning that it is not a cause, but merely the body's way of telling you that something else is wrong. Causes of post nasal drip can be allergies such as inhalant or food allergies, chronic viral, bacterial or fungal sinus infections, hormonal imbalances due to pregnancy, menopause, thyroid problems, the presence of foreign bodies in the nose, sinuses, or throat, structural problems with adenoid, turbinate or the septum. Also side effects from drugs or other medications, aging and its consequent narrowing and shrinking of the nasal mucosa and passages, can also cause post nasal drip. Halitosis is another term for bad breath, and may be caused by the stagnation of excess mucous due to one of the above-named factors, especially from the overgrowth of bacteria. Because the sinuses are deep and difficult to reach even with the use of antibiotics, this makes for a perfect hang out for anaerobic bacteria that doesn't need air to grow and breed. Ten years is a long time to put up with this problem. Hopefully, you have been to see your doctor and have had an evaluation as to the cause of your problem. Once the cause is found then it will be easier to find the correct remedy or treatment. If you have food allergies, then simple elimination of those foods from your diet will help with the problem. Sinus infections can be more difficult to treat, but trying a saline nasal irrigation occasionally might help with this problem. Health food stores have neti pots which can be filled with a strong saline solution and are used to clean and wash out the sinuses. I recommend Xlear Nasal Wash to my patients, because it is a safe and effective way to cleanse the sinuses and nasal passages and can also be very helpful in flushing out the viruses, bacteria, and fungus, if they are present. Go here to read about this product > Nasal Wash/Product Information. There are also some very effective Chinese herbal patent medicines which have been used for many years by Chinese acupuncture and herbal practitioners to clear out the sinuses. Usually the herbal formulas are individualized by the practitioner, according to one's individual constitution, and formulated specifically for one's particular problem, making it a unique and effective method of dealing with a problem. Combined with acupuncture sessions, to clear the lung meridian and to clear the toxins, Chinese herbal remedies can be extremely effective. Bi Yan Pian is the name of a favorite Chinese patent formula which treats sinus and nasal problems especially when due to allergies. Good luck in your search for relief from this long-standing problem.

Dear Doctor, Following are the symptoms of my case, my nose breathing is blocked. The nostril blocked alternates between right and left. They are rarely both clogged simultaneously, or both clear simultaneously. This is all day and night. I am constantly hawking and spitting out mucus from the back of my throat. The mucus is transparent or clear in color. This happens all day and all night. I have chronic halitosis all day and night, everyday. There is a whitish coating on the back of my tongue. It is resilient to tongue cleaners and toothbrushes. This is all day, especially when I wake up in the morning. My mouth is always dry. Please help.

Dear Sajan, It sounds as if you are on the right track with getting a complete diagnosis of your problem and an MRI of your sinuses to rule out a more serious condition. Please ask your doctor to test you for fungus, thrush, or mold problems. Also, please read my long answer to Hemn above. I am sure that you can use the simple suggestions which I mentioned. You might also want to go here to learn about a self-help technique to control any unwanted emotions or embarrassment around your halitosis when around people> No More Emotional Embarrassment. Good luck on your healing journey. I do believe that all unwanted conditions can be controlled. Sometimes it takes persistence, discipline, and the ability to ask for help from a professional specialist.
