As kids if your breath smelled foul, your mum might have given you a sprig of refreshing parsley to chew on. Parsley contains chlorophyll, which is a natural breath deodorizer . But this green garnish isn’t the only natural home remedy that will help combat stale breath:
Mother Nature’s Treasure Trove
Your kitchen or garden can be a bountiful source of Mother Nature’s ‘breath mints’. Sweet, fragrant herbs and spices like fennel, cinnamon, anise seeds and cloves are a wonderfully simple remedy for getting rid of that persistent aftertaste when a meal is done. Chewing on a mixture of cloves or anise seeds after a heavy meal can leave a cleaner, fresher feeling in your mouth.
Coriander, tarragon, spearmint, rosemary, eucalyptus and cardamom are also believed to be good for combating halitosis. The combination of herbs can be infused in hot water and mixed into a soothing herbal tea.
