For most of us, smelly breath (halitosis) is a short-term – although often inconvenient – concern.

As long as your bad breath is not caused by digestive ailments, periodontal conditions, or other medical problems, making use of herbs is a natural way to freshen your breath and safe. There are quite a few bad breath home remedies to be found, so I’ve made a short list which you may find useful.

Below are some ways to make organic breath fresheners.

1. Cardamom
This is an herb – or, more correctly, a spice – contains cineole, which functions as an antibacterial. Chew a couple of seeds to make your breath scent spicy and clean your mouth.

Crisp, clean & fresh

2. Eucalyptus
A by-product of this familiar plant, eucalyptol, is really made use of in commercial mouthwashes. It also includes cineole. Crush 1-2 ounce of the leaves and add them to a cup of vodka (Yes, I know too good to be true, but it is!); steep for several days and strain out the leaves, or just leave the leaves in. Use as a mouthwash to battle foul breath. If you can’t find eucalyptus leaves, the same method works utilizing various other natural herbs, such as any combination of spearmint, rosemary, ginger, lavender, peppermint, basil, cinnamon, nutmeg, or fennel.

3. Parsley
There is a good reason parsley is made use of as a garnish on bistro supper plates. Chewed after a meal, parsley freshens breath. It includes a lot of chlorophyll, which accounts for its breath-freshening abilities.

4. Anise
If you like licorice, anise is well worth a try. It is an ancient remedy for bad breath. You could also chew on the seeds, or make a decoction by simmering 3 teaspoons of anise seeds in a cup of water for 3-5 mins. Cool, strain, and use as a mouthwash.

5. Dill
Another chlorophyll-rich natural herb: consuming dill tea or chewing on a couple of dill seeds after a meal will freshen your breath.

6. Fresh mint
Keeping mint growing in small container pots is quite easy, and nipping off a few leaves and chewing them helps to make your breath fresh.

7. Cloves
Chewing a few cloves will provide your breath with a nice spicy scent. Cloves are also anti-bacterial, and clove oil is a typical solution for toothache.
