Uses: Bad Breath, Halitosis, Digestive Issues. Chu Kou Wei Wan (Pian, BreathNew) is used to treat bad breath, or halitosis, and related digestive issues. From a Chinese Medicine perspective bad breath is very often the result of what we call stomach heat or stomach fire. Signs of this are a burning or hot sensation in the stomach, sometimes with constant hunger, and/or general digestive signs such as belching, reflux, bloating, etc. ($9.99)
