How to cure bad breath at home?

Brush your teeth in the morning, in the evening, and after every meal, specially after consuming milk products, fish and meat.  Brush your tongue along with your teeth regularly.  Wash the tongue with baking soda dissolved in warm water to reduce the acidity in your mouth making a less-friendly environment for the bacteria to grow. Brushing and flossing teeth regularly can rid off bad breath.  Clean and replace your toothbrush regularly. Avoid mouthwashes with dyes and alcohol. Mouthwash containing cetylpyridinium chloride, chlorine dioxide, sodium chlorite or zinc may serve as an antibacterial agent, which can control the number of anaerobic bacteria in mouth. Parsley, coriander, basil, rosemary, thyme, wintergreen, cardamom seeds, cinnamon bark, clove, fennel or anise seeds are great breath fresheners. Slowly chew any of these herbs and allow the saliva to build up in your mouth.
