1)     There are actually very few ingredients. Depending upon which you choose, they may contain chlorophyll, parsley, lemon, cloves or cardamom. The very best ones, however, are made mostly from mint oils, specifically spearmint and peppermint. Mint oils are the best breath fresheners because they kill the bacteria that are causing the bad breath in the first place. Many other breath fresheners, including some natural ones, work temporarily, but don’t get to the root of the problem.

2)     It’s what they’re missing that you need to know about. Natural breath fresheners don’t contain alcohol like that mouthwash you’ve been using as a breath freshener and they don’t contain sugar or artificial sweetener like your breath mints and gum. These additives aren’t needed, and may even be potentially harmful.

3)     They’re safe. Of course, not everything that’s all natural is safe. But, with all natural breath fresheners made from mint, you have nothing to fear. They work better than what you’re using now, and they’re safer for you, too.

4)     They have other benefits. Like we said earlier, mint oil based breath fresheners kill the bacteria that cause bad breath. But, did you know that it’s this same bacteria that causes plaque buildup, leading to gingivitis and other gum disease? So, when you choose an all natural breath freshener, you’re gaining more than just fresh breath. You’re improving the overall health of your mouth.

You may still be skeptical about all natural products. But hopefully the reasons above are enough to at least get you to try an all natural breath freshener. Once you do, we’re certain that you’ll never go back to your drugstore breath fresheners again. Your mouth will feel better and smell better, too.
