Bad breath is one of the most embarrassing things one can experience, and by that, I mean both as the one suffering the condition, and the one on the receiving end of it— no matter the part of the divide you fall in, it just can’t be good.
Bad breath is caused by bacteria that have built up in the mouth over time. So to get rid of it, you need something that can work from the inside. A gum or minty candy can come in handy, but they’ll not get rid of it completely. If you want to get free from bad breath, you need the following…
1. LEMON
Like most citrus fruits, lemons are acidic in nature. They prevent the growth of most bacteria. Now, to use lemon against bad breath, add a teaspoon of it to a cup of water, add a pinch of salt, and gargle this mixture before bed every night.
2. BAKING SODA
As the name implies, this substance is mostly used for baking, but that’s not all it does, it can also help fight bacteria that cause bad breath. All you need do is, mix a teaspoon of baking soda in warm water, and gargle the mixture. Do it twice a day for maximum effect.
3. TEA
Not the regular tea, I mean black, green or herbal teas. They are great for banishing mouth odour. Simply drinking green tea 3 times a day can cure your bad breath.
4. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
Apple cider vinegar has antiseptic properties, and they’re strong in fighting bad breath. Simply mix a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with a cup of water and drink every day after meals. If you do that consistently, your bad breath should disappear within a few weeks.
Don’t forget to keep a minty gum or candy around…they do come in handy.
