Unpleasant odor from the mouth. Why does it appear, how can you get rid of it?

With reduced salivation (dry mouth), accompanied by an unpleasant odor, it is recommended to chew a slice of lemon. The product eliminates halitosis for the nearest hour and a half. In addition to the ability to enhance salivation, the lemon is an excellent immunostimulating agent, since it saturates the body with ascorbic acid.
