Get rid of tonsil stones – gargle as a natural treatment to keep them away forever
If you’ve always felt like something stuck in your throat and you’re suffering from bad breath that doesn’t go away no matter what you do, you may just have tonsil stones or tonsilloliths. These stones form in the deep pockets of the tonsils when food particles, dead white blood cells, bacteria and mucus accumulate.
Although considered harmless, getting rid of tonsilloliths is important if you are probably tired of the embarrassment of bad breath. It is always advisable to adopt natural treatment modalities as they are safe and do not lead to other complications. There are a number of simple natural remedies for tonsilloliths that can help you get rid of the problem.
Personally, I would find gargling to be a very effective remedy to get rid of tonsil stones. Millions of people have tried this method and got tremendous relief from their complaints. Although extremely popular in Asian countries, especially India, this natural remedy has yet to become popular in the West.

How do gargles help treat tonsil stones?
Gargles have always been traditionally used to treat sore throats. But when performed by patients with tonsil stones, it helps to dislodge hardened lumps from the throat due to ongoing redness in the area. Gargling with medicinal substances is an added benefit, as it helps prevent infection. One important thing to remember is that gargling must be done regularly over a period of time to be effective in washing the stones.
Prevention is better than cure, so maintain good oral hygiene even after the stone has dislodged, as it helps correct underlying causes and prevents bad breath and new stone formation.
