Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Allium tuberosum Rottl., commonly known as garlic chives, is traditionally used in some Asian systems of medicine and folk practices for a variety of health concerns, including halitosis (bad breath). Historical usage is primarily documented in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where Allium tuberosum is believed to aid digestion and reduce oral malodor, likely due to its aromatic properties and possible mild antimicrobial effects. The herb’s strong, pungent aroma is thought to mask or reduce bad breath, and it is sometimes chewed raw for this purpose. However, while these traditional uses are relatively well-documented, there is a lack of robust scientific studies directly validating its efficacy specifically for halitosis. Most available scientific literature focuses on the general antimicrobial properties of Allium species, but does not provide clinical evidence for halitosis treatment with Allium tuberosum. Therefore, while the traditional use is recognized, it is not strongly supported by modern clinical evidence.
