How to Get rid of bad breath with home remedies

If your morning breath lasts all day, it might be time to take action.

You Will Need

* Citrus fruit

* 2 tsp. baking soda

* 2 sprigs parsley

* 2-3 cloves

* Black or green tea

* Water or fruit juice (optional)

Step 1

Eat citrus fruit and other foods high in vitamin C to prevent bad breath. Eat one piece of fruit after each meal.

Step 2

Mix baking soda in one liter of water. Gargle this mixture once or twice a day.

Step 3

Boil two cups water and add parsley and cloves. Stir and let steep for five minutes. Use this as a mouthwash twice a day. Chew on fresh parsley for a quick freshen-up.

Drink water or fruit juice throughout the day. Keeping the mouth moist prevents bad breath.

Step 4

Avoid bad-breath-causing foods such as ginger, garlic, onions, fish, cheese, and alcohol, especially whiskey.

Brush your teeth twice daily, floss, and use a tongue scraper.

Step 5

Drink green and black teas, which are filled with breath-freshening polyphenols.

Fact: Onions and garlic cause bad breath because of their high sulfur content.
