Using a mouth rinse on a daily basis can help clean out the back of your throat and prevent bacteria that causes bad breath and a variety of mouth diseases. Mouth rinses may contain antimicrobial agents to prevent disease, fluoride that reduces tooth decay, and odor neutralizers to combat bad breath. Some mouth rinses are merely cosmetic, meaning they seek to eliminate bad breath temporarily but do not have the bacteria fighting powers of stronger brands. Make sure you purchase a mouth rinse that is therapeutic and designed to clean your mouth and throat in addition to eliminating bad breath. Mouth rinses will come with instructions on how to use them. Most of them require you to swish or gargle the liquid for a number of seconds before spitting it into the sink and rinsing out your mouth with water. Tonsils are small collections of lymph tissue in the back of the throat that are often the cause of infections and bad breath. Some people have their tonsils removed via operation to keep these from occurring, but if you still have your tonsils they may require upkeep to prevent the buildup of bacteria. Sometimes, tonsil stones, which are concretions of food particles and mucus, build up in the folds of the tonsils and cause bad breath. They may also make you feel like you're gagging, or like you need to clear your throat constantly. If you're having trouble with tonsil stones, you may need to regularly irrigate your tonsils, using an irrigation system you can purchase at a drug store. Tonsil irrigation systems work somewhat like nasal or ear irrigation systems do, in that a rubber syringe is used to spray water and some kind of medication in the back of the throat to remove unwanted debris. Make sure you don't use too much pressure or force, or you could irritate your tonsils or cause bleeding. You can also buy tonsil sprays at most drug stores. These are medicated sprays you use on the back of your throat to clean out your tonsils and prevent decay. If your tonsils are growing uncomfortably large, taking oral probiotics might hinder their growth. Talk to your doctor before trying any new medication, however. If you aren't able to remove tonsil stones on your own, or they pose a serious problem for you, see your doctor. When brushing your teeth each day, make sure you take a few minutes to brush the back of your tongue with your toothbrush. This helps clean your throat and mouth in addition to your teeth, and prevents the build up of disease and bad breath causing bacteria.

summary: Use mouth rinses. Take care of your tonsils. Brush your tongue.

Mint is mature when it begins to bloom (after about 90 days), but it can be harvested any time after it is 3 to 4 inches tall. Trimming your mint plant regularly will allow it to become full and healthy. You'll also be able to use fresh mint after each mini harvest. Make sure to trim your mint carefully each time it needs to be cut back. Remember to trim the mint so it grows in the rough shape of the pot you're using. If you're trimming mint outside, make sure to trim mint so mint plants do not overgrow your garden. While you can use shears to prune mint, small plants can easily be pruned just using your fingers. Small pieces of mint can be used in many recipes. If a recipe calls for dry mint, try using freshly cut mint in its place. This can add a stronger mint flavor. You can also add mint leaves to beverages like lemonade or mojitos to add flavor. If you want more mint plants, you can create them using the trimmings from your existing mint plant. Clip off 6 inches of a stem from your mint plant, and place it in a pot filled with potting soil. This stem will transform into its own plant with lots of sunshine and water. Fill a plant with potting soil mixed with a heavy amount of compost. Take the stem you cut from the original mint plant and slide it into the soil. You can also place mint stems in a glass of water. Remove any leaves that would sit below the water line or they will rot. Eventually, roots will start to grow.

summary: Trim your mint plant regularly. Use mint for cooking. Turn a small harvest into a new mint plant.

They may also take a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, a positron emission tomography (PET) scan, and a computed tomography (CT) scan of your body to check for any damage in your bones. You will need to wear a hospital gown and lie down in an imaging machine so your doctor can get high quality images of your bones for analysis. The bone marrow sample will consist of the removal of a small amount of fluid and a small amount of solid tissue from your bone. The sample is usually done on your pelvic bone. Your doctor will numb the area with a local anesthetic and use a needle to draw the sample. If you experiencing organ malfunctioning or organ failure, your doctor may recommend testing a sample of your abdominal fat. Your abdominal area will be numbed with local anesthetic and your doctor will remove a small sample of fat with a needle. The sample will then be tested to determine if you have low M proteins, which may be caused by multiple myeloma.
summary: Allow your doctor to X-ray your arms, legs, spine, pelvis, and skull. Let your doctor take a bone marrow sample with a needle. Provide a sample of fat from your abdomen, if needed.
