Remedy to eliminate bad breath
There are many people who swear that herbal remedies work for bad breath. If you suffer from
bad breath you might want to try some of the following herbal products to see if you can
promote a sweeter breath:
- Anise: Anise seeds are a licorice flavored seed that can destroy the bacteria in your
mouth as well as mask the smell. Other seeds to try include fennel, dill, or cardamom.
- Cloves: Cloves are known as a potent antiseptic. Make yourself a clove mouthwash which
you can use twice a day. Place 3 entire cloves into two cups of boiling water. Let this
mixture steep for about 20 minutes. Pour the mixture through a strainer and put the liquid
into a jar.
- Lemon: Take a lemon wedge and sprinkle a little bit of salt on the stop. Suck on the
lemon wedge until the juices are consumed. This will help to prevent bad breath after you
have eaten onions or garlic.
- Parsley: Try chewing on a few sprigs of parsley. Parsley has been used for thousands of
years in the promotion of good smelling breath. Mint works just as well as parsley.
- Fennel: There are two options that you can use fennel to fight bad breath: (1) chew the
leaves slowly so that saliva builds up in your mouth, or (2) take a fennel capsule (found in
health food stores) and open it up, mixing the contents with baking soda so that you make a
paste. Use this paste to brush your teeth, gums, and tongue.
