Cardamom

Bad breath is a complete turn-off and can make you quite unpopular. But if you don't want to pop chewing gum after every meal, you can beat bad breath with the help of cardamom or elaichi. These little pods can add freshness in your mouth and mask bad breath in a few minutes.

All you need to do is pop one cardamom in your mouth after your meal and chew on it gently to let its aromatic scent in your mouth. Even a strong odour of garlic or onion can be masked well with elaichi. It has anti-bacterial properties as well. What's more, cardamom also helps in digestion of food so it makes for a perfect after-meal option. If you are prone to acidity, it will help prevent that too. So keep a few pods of cardamom handy and chew on it after your meals.
