Are you battling bad breath? Worry no more! Mixing up some common kitchen ingredients is all you need to do to create a quick remedy for bad breath. The problem can be caused by an increase in odor-causing bacteria in the mouth due to a decrease in saliva or some sort of stomach problem. However, the most common reason is eating foods like raw onion or garlic. A good mouth freshener can alleviate this problem anytime. While it is easy to just buy one from the market, the high prices for small quantities are ridiculous.
