Bad breath
Eat more plant and cereal fibre daily to cleanse the digestive system. Chewing food thoroughly and eating slowly and calmly will help to promote proper digestion and can therefore improve the breath if faulty digestion is the cause. Don't drink water or fluids with your meal as this will dilute gastric acids and hinder the digestive process. Eating an apple after meals is a very good way of freshening the breath and cleansing the whole mouth. Apples also provide a good source of plant fibre. Chewing a sprig of parsley after meals will give a temporary breath freshening effect.General characteristics

Chewing a pinch of seeds such as dill, fennel, celery seeds, aniseed and caraway will help to sweeten the breath and stimulate saliva secretion which helps to cleanse the mouth. They all improve digestion generally. Carry a little bag of mixed seeds with you and take a pinch when needed, especially after eating for example, and chew thoroughly before swallowing.Natural healing
