Here are a few home remedies for bad breath, to bring on the fresh breath that would knock your friends out – positively!

Coconut oil
If you thought coconut oil benefits for hair and skin only, you are wrong. Think coconut oil to use when brushing your teeth. What you need here are two tablespoons of pure coconut oil mixed with three tablespoons baking soda. Form a paste with them both and brush your teeth every morning and night, gently. Don’t think of it as a crazy idea, because this works. The paste helps kill germs and bacteria in your mouth; in places you cannot possibly see and reach. Your mouth would be clean and super fresh all day long. Goodbye bad breath, you weren’t good for us anyways!
