8. Fenugreek

Fenugreek is recommended by some as a treatment for bad breath caused by colds and sinus infections. Though it is popularly used for a variety of traditional remedies by different cultures, there’s no scientific evidence to support fenugreek as an effective treatment for bad breath. Potential side effects of excessive consumption include allergic reactions, digestive issues, dizziness, and headaches.

Consuming fenugreek in large amounts—greater than normally used in food—may cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar and is not safe during pregnancy due to the risk of uterine contractions.
