Herbal Remedies for Bad Breath

Bad breath is caused by either teeth and gum problems or an intestinal imbalance. If you have untreated cavities or red and sore gums, consult a dentist.

A supportive herbal program can include anti-bacterial herbs. Proper dental hygiene is essential. Chewing the whole seeds of cardamon or dill is also effective.
