How to Get Rid of Garlic Breath
Bacteria induced garlic breath can be reduced by usual oral hygene methods.
Standard halitosis remedies include regular use of mouthwash, brushing and flossing teeth and tongue
scraping.
There are also commercial bad breath remedies available which are more
powerful than the usual mouthwashes you can buy in supermarkets. These are
available from your doctor, your pharmacist or to buy online.
Parsley
Another method of reducing smelly garlic breath is to eat parsley with the meal. This
seems to counteract the problem to some extent, although it doesn't
prevent it completely. It's probably no coincidence that many garlic
recipes also contain parsley. However it is not enough just to sprinkle in a
teaspoon of dried parsley when cooking. To get the effect you need to chew at
least one sprig of fresh green parsley, preferably more. Ideally this
should be chopped and added near the end of cooking or as a garnish.
Cardamon
Some people also claim that chewing cardamon seeds has a similar effect to
parsley and can work as a garlic breath remedy. Cardamon has a very strong
flavour so this might not be an option for some people.
Perhaps the best solution to the garlic induced bad breath problem is to ensure that you
surround yourself with friends who are also garlicophiles. That's my method and it works for me!
