Home Remedies for Bad Breath

1. Fennel

Fennel acts as an excellent mouth freshener that helps control bad breath. It also contains antimicrobial properties that fight the bacteria in the mouth.

• Slowly chew a tablespoon of fennel to freshen your breath and stimulate the production of saliva.
• You can also drink fennel tea a couple of times a day. To make this tea, steep one or two teaspoons of fennel seeds in a cup of hot water for 5 to 10 minutes.

2. Cinnamon

Cinnamon contains cinnamic aldehyde, an essential oil that not only covers up bad breath, but also reduces the amount of bacteria in your mouth. To treat bad breath follow this remedy twice daily.

• Boil one teaspoon of cinnamon powder in a cup of water.
• You may add some bay leaves and cardamom too.
• Strain the solution and use it as a mouth rinse to refresh your breath.
