Remedies For Bad Breath That Really Work.

     Everyone has bad breath at some time or another and it is very bothersome to all of us when we are around other people, and you know they can smell your breath.  Or on the other hand, someone else has bad breath, and they are standing in front of you talking to you with an almost poopy smell coming out of their mouth, and it is almost gagging everyone who has to smell it.  You all know what I mean, and of course we all wonder is there a remedy so that your breath will smell sweet for several hours.
     There are a lot of mouthwashes, and gargles on the market, but they only make your breath smell good for only 10 or 15 minutes, and then your breath is back to that poopy smell.  I remember as a child that many of those mouthwashes had a sweet soda pop like taste to them.  My mom bought two of them quite often.  One had a bubblegum taste to it, and the other had a cinnamon flavor.  They were more "yummy for my tummy" than that of curing bad breath.  I remember also how yummy the wild cherry Vick's cough syrup tasted.
     Many people would carry peppermint, cinnamon flavored candy and/or gum to somewhat freshen their breath, but you have to be eating the candy or gum all day long. I remember my grandparents giving us kids a square piece of gum for bad breath called Chicklets, or they would give us a white piece of narrow mouth mint I think it was called Zin-Zins or they would give us small piece of Dentyene  Gum. I don't think any of these products exist anymore.
     The remedy is actually very simple, and most of you have some of this stuff on your kitchen shelf.  Before you leave your house when you know you will be around other people, brush your mouth out with any kind of toothpaste.  While the toothpaste is still in your mouth, dip your tooth brush into some Baking Soda. It is best to dump some into a small container and leave that in your bathroom just for brushing your teeth.  After you put some baking soda on your brush, scrub this all over the inside of your mouth.  Brush all your gums, the top of your mouth, and then you brush your tongue: on the top, the sides, and underneath.  Then you rinse your mouth out with water.  I guarantee that you will not have bad breath for several hours, and your breath will smell sweet.  I know this works because I do it myself, and it works better than any mouth wash, or breath mint that may be sold on the marked.  I have used this many times, and it does work, and it will work for you also.  Isn't that nice?  No more poopy breath!  Thank Goodness!
 

      By the way, you can also dump some baking soda into your shoes if you have stinky feet.  It will also make your feet smell sweet.  It is also great to put some under your arms, or in your arm pits, or Powder your whole body with Baking Soda after you get out of the shower. This will make you smell clean and fresh all day long even in hot weather.
