Bad breath can be a side effect of the foods you eat or an early sign of disease. Poor dental hygiene can also be a cause of halitosis. Smoking and alcohol can also cause bad breath.

Do not have time to brush your teeth or whistle with mouthwash? You can chew fresh parsley, peppermint, or spearmint leaves. Peppermint and spearmint are often very easy to grow in your garden, my grandfather owned a factory that ended up taking half of the beds.

The mixture of their own natural mouthwash is surprisingly easy! A bit of essential oil is great in a mouthwash is bergamot, cardamom, fresh fennel, mint, thyme and sweet.

For postcomida mouthwash, try this recipe:

300 milliliters of distilled water 2 teaspoons cider vinegar 1 drop essential oil cardamom 8 drops bergamot essential oil 2 drops peppermint essential oil

Shake well before use to mix the oil in the water. You can do the mouthwash to know a little sweeter switching 100 milliliters of distilled water to 100 milliliters of rosewater or orange flower water. You can search for flower waters at your local pharmacy or natural food store, but you may need to special order. Find a DISTILLATE, rather than a synthetic floral water. Store in a cool, dark for maximum life, after two months of storage, shake to stay and do a cool mix.

If you have gum disease or other mouth problems, try this mouthwash daily:

30 milliliters of tincture of myrrh (myrrh alcohol) 5 drops tea tree essential oil 10 drops cypress essential oil 20 drops peppermint essential oil

Shake well before use. This mixture is very strong and MUST be diluted before use. Add five drops of this mixture to a cup of hot water and whistle. Store mouthwash in a dark colored (blue or amber) glass bottle in a cool, dark. You can use this mixture of mouthwash three times daily if you want.
