Community members have passed along other home remedies. Many of the ingredients needed for home remedies for bad breath can be found right in your kitchen or available at the corner store.
Many home remedies use herbs to get rid of bad breath. Common herbs that are used include parsley, which is especially used when food has been determined to be the root cause of the bad breath. Foods that contain onions and garlic are especially notorious for producing bad breath.
Parsley is one of the best-known “natural deodorizers” known to mankind. To use this home remedy – chew on some parsley leaves to give your breath a new freshness and boost your mineral content of your diet. The parsley you chew must be fresh and not dried.

I was told by my family doc (also practicing Ayurveda) that it’s good to scrape one’s tongue every morning, as toxins that discharge during the night build up on the tongue. “Oil-pulling” (the practice of swishing around a light-unrefined oil, like safflower, for 15 minutes first thing in the morning) can also clean the teeth, heal gum issues and other benefits can help with bad breath.
Coming from a Chinese medicine perspective, I would also suggest that poor digestion in the stomach can have an effect on the breath, as can certain medications.
