Are there any natural remedies to cure bad breath?

Natural remedies for bath breath include drinking plenty of water; brushing and flossing at least twice a day; chewing a handful of fennel seeds; eating raw, crunchy foods; and scraping the tongue each morning, according to Everyday Health. These remedies fight halitosis-causing bacteria, clean teeth and freshen the breath.

Bad breath, or halitosis, is a condition where foul odor emanates from the mouth, often due to gum disease, dental cavities, an inflammation of the tongue or poor oral hygiene, explains Everyday Health. Malnutrition, uncontrolled diabetes, a dry mouth, infections such as sinusitis, and intestinal disorders such as lactose intolerance may also cause bad breath.
