2. Clove

Clove is traditionally used to relieve pain, treat digestive issues, and fight infection, all thanks to an antibacterial compound called eugenol. These anti-bacterial properties may also make clove an effective treatment for bad breath.

Try biting into a clove, moving it around the mouth, and then spitting it out for an instant freshness boost. Clove oil is also popular, but it is very potent, so take care to avoid burning the tongue. Avoid pure clove oil or powder, as it is too intense for the soft skin of the mouth.
