Natural Remedies To Cure Bad Breath by jannydear(f): 6:33am On Oct 18, 2017
One of the major thing bad breath breadth takes away from you is self-confidence. Chronic bad breath is a symptom of an underlying problem such as poor diet, poor oral hygiene, tooth decay, gum disease or other more serious medical conditions such as diabetes or liver disease. Mouth odor can at times start in your digestive tract and stem from candida, yeast and bad bacteria overgrowth.

2. Probiotic (15+ billion)

3. Milk thistle (200-250 mg x2 daily)
Milk thistle helps in improving digestion and detoxify the liver.

4. Peppermint essential oil (1-3 drops daily)
