Sulphur-producing bacteria that stick on the surface of the throat, gums and tongue plays a key role in producing the bad odour in a person s breath. The key reason behind the production of the sulphur is improperly digested food that results in ama. The latter coats the surface of the digestive tract, helping the bacteria to thrive and produce sulphur. A balanced digestion and oral hygiene are the first line of defence, to ensure that sulphur producing bacteria cannot thrive in the digestive system. Furthermore, cleaning the white coating of the tongue also goes a long way in blocking bad odour.
