Bad Breath Support Herbs

Long before the first mouthwash came on the market, people were using herbs for bad breath and so many still do today because there simply is no substitute for a natural breath freshener. The rationale for this has probably been that many herbs have strong but pleasant flavors and scents that will mask a bad odor on the breath. They certainly do have this effect, but fortuitously, many of them also have antiseptic qualities that also assist with controlling the activities of bacteria in the mouth. Some of the earliest mouthwashes were developed from herbal remedies.
