Both types will neutralize the odor-producing waste products of your mouth bacteria. Chew a Mint or Some Gum. Like mouthwash, a breath mint or minty gum is just a cover-up, good for a short interview, a short ride in a compact car, or a very short date. Parsley can freshen your breath naturally. So pick up that sprig and chew it thoroughly.

Certain herbs and spices you keep in your kitchen are natural breath enhances. Carry a tiny plastic bag of cloves, fennel, or anise seeds to chew after odorous meals. Your tongue is covered with little hairlike projections, which under a microscope look like a forest of mushrooms. Under the caps of mushrooms there's room to harbor plaque and some of the things we eat. That causes bad breath.
