3. Lemon

Lemon is an effective natural remedy for bad breath. Research shows that lemon oil reduces the production of salivary bacteria and volatile sulfur compounds that cause bad breath.

As lemon is high in citric acid, however, it can also aggravate gastrointestinal symptoms like heartburn and acid reflux and cause damage to tooth enamel. The best way to enjoy the benefits of lemon without these side effects is to add freshly squeezed lemon juice to a glass of water and drink it with a meal.
