7 Simple Cures For Bad Breath:

It happens to the best of us, the dreaded Bad Breath Blues when there’s no mint in sight and you’re not at home to do a quick brushing of the teeth. Maybe you had a tasty garlic dish for lunch or your mouth tastes funky after all that coffee you drank…whatever the reason, you want a quick fix.
You can remedy the problem with these simple, all-natural ingredients.

  • Anise seeds: Chew a couple after your meal, helps with digestion too.
  • Cardamom: Chew a couple seeds to freshen your mouth.

Lemon: In a pinch and you don’t have any of the items listed above? Squeeze fresh lemon juice into a glass of water and sip, this will help freshen your breath. If you’re dining out, request ice water with lemon wedges and sip after your meal.
