Q: I've heard that commercial mouthwashes kill the good bacteria as well as the bad, is there anything else that I could use for a breath freshener?
A: After meals chew on a few sprigs of fresh parsley for a natural breath freshener.
Alternatively you can make your own mouthwash by adding 10 drops of peppermint oil to a glass of warm water and gargle.
