Natural Remedies For Bad Breath

I got a cold from a water park this August and ever since, I've had post nasal drip giving me very bad breath. Are there any things I can do to clear this up naturally? Will snorting saline solution do anything? Gargling with peroxide?
I have a tongue scraper and use it. It's post nasal drip...my nose hasn't fully cleared since I took the wave pool wave into my sinuses.

I can relate. I have had a cold that has gotten in the sinuses and is just hanging on.
I use the oceans spray when my nose gets dry. I dont think it will work for post nasel drip. I sent you a link to a page that has some recipes for natural sinus remedies.
I hope it works for you, it worked for me.
Peace

My husband brushes his teeth routinely (at least 2 times daily) but his breath still is very offensive.

You ask a very good question which also shows that you are not familiar with the latest data on bad breath or halitosis (same thing). New information shows that most bad breath comes from the top of the tongue where bacteria grow and produce those bad smells. You can often see this bacteria as "white stuff", especially on the back one-third of the tongue. Most people can not smell their own bad breath so your husband many not know when he has bad breath. For that matter, you can have bad breath to him without you knowing it.
So, after you brush your teeth, clean your tongue. I use OraBrush tongue cleaner because it is designed to clean the back of the tongue. After propler cleaning it will eliminate bad breath for up to 12 hours. Mints and gum just cover up bad breath because they do not get rid of the bacteria, just like perfume covers up body odor because it does not get rid of the cause of body odor.

Go to this site, click on folk remedies, the index at the middle of the screen. Look under B for bad breath. There could lots of causes from stomach/digestive, to cavities, even sinus problems can cause it. It's best to try to figure out what's causing it.

Bad breath comes from the digestive system, if you have a healthy digestive system that is half the battle.
I use Acidophilus 5 billion & milk free with FOS.
Also chewing on parsley is a good source for a breath freshener.
Swishing you mouth with some sunflower oil will also help.
The best treatment is preventative care. Proper oral hygiene and good eating habits .
Do not forget to brush your tongue.
Good luck to you.

Gargle a cup of lukewarm water mixed with salt or half a lemon juice.This is best done before going to bed. Chew parsley leaves,which are sure to keep your breath fresh. More useful remedies at http://useinfo5.blogspot.com/
