Health Tips to Prevent Bad Breath

Health tips to prevent bad breath is something that all of us think about when meeting the public on a daily basis. Of course some of us use things like commercial mouthwashes that are on the markets, some of them are good tasting and some not good at all. I was thinking that maybe we should check some of the natural alternatives to commercial ones that are not very healthy for us at all.

Maybe you are like me that just can't stand the sting of mouthwash, but want sweeter breath? Let's not buy those commercial ones , and pick up a pinch of one of these herbs instead: parsley, basil, or cilantro. Did you know that all of these natural ingredients contained in these herbs contain the powerful breath freshener called chlorophyll?

Other excellent breath fresheners in the herb category include cilantro, for a bit of spicy taste, parsley for a more neutral taste and basil for that in-between field taste for us to try. Here are some suggestion that I have found that can be helpful and different ways of keeping our breath fresh. Dill is also rich in chlorophyll so needs to be added to our list of herbs to use. You can make an excellent drink by grinding the seeds in your bean grinders and adding them to a cup of hot water for a dill tea. You can also add dill weed or these ground seeds to your raw salads.

Peppermint is another herb that is known to have a Strong antiseptic to fight halitosis. The peppermint leaves make a great tea also and is a really refreshing and is known to help to perk up our brain functions also. I love licorice and to get that flavor you can all grind anise seeds or if you don't have time you can just boil them in a cup of water, strain them, and then you can either drink this tea or use it for a fantastic mouth wash.

Another herb you might have in your cupboard is cardamon. Did you ever think of using it as a mouth refresher? Try it by chewing on the seeds and then spit them out for a clean feeling in your mouth. Another use for these seeds, right.

Another thing if you are having trouble with really bad breath is you might like to consider is a colon cleanse as you might have a colon issue of bacteria there as than can cause really bad breath also. Just another thought to consider when dealing with health tips for Bad breath.
