(AI Generated)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">Garlic is widely known for its incredible health benefits. Rich in medicinal properties, it strengthens the immune system, helps regulate cholesterol and blood pressure, and offers protection against various infections.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Health experts often recommend chewing raw garlic to maximise its effects. However, one downside many people face is its strong and lingering smell. The reason behind this smell is sulphur compounds like allicin, which cause bad breath that can last for hours. As a result, some people avoid garlic altogether, despite its many advantages.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">But are there a few tried-and-tested remedies to get rid of that pungent garlic odour from your mouth:<\/p>\n<h2>Chew Fresh Green Leaves<\/h2>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Mint, basil, coriander, or spinach leaves are excellent natural breath fresheners. Rich in chlorophyll, these green leaves help neutralise odours and bring instant freshness to your breath. Just chew a few leaves after your meal to notice the difference.<\/p>\n<h2>Eat Apples or Citrus Fruits<\/h2>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Apples, lemons, and other citrus fruits contain natural enzymes and antioxidants that help break down sulphur compounds in garlic. Apples are particularly effective due to their polyphenol content. You can also gargle with water mixed with lemon juice for quick relief from bad breath.<\/p>\n<h2>Drink A Glass Of Milk<\/h2>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Studies suggest that drinking milk, especially full-fat milk, can significantly reduce garlic odour. A cold glass of milk taken with or after your meal helps neutralise the smell and freshen your breath.<\/p>\n<h2>Use Common Kitchen Spices<\/h2>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">Indian kitchen staples like fennel seeds, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon are not just digestive aids, they\u2019re also great for freshening your mouth. Chew on a few after your meal for natural relief. Fennel and cardamom, in particular, have long been used as mouth fresheners.<\/p>\n<h2>Clean Your Tongue Thoroughly<\/h2>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">Brushing your teeth or using mouthwash alone might not be enough. The odour from garlic often lingers on your tongue. Make sure to use a tongue cleaner and follow up with a good antibacterial mouthwash to eliminate any residual smell and bacteria.<\/p>\n<h2>Stay Hydrated<\/h2>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\">Drinking plenty of water after eating garlic helps in producing saliva, which in turn washes away the sulphur-containing compounds from your mouth. It\u2019s one of the easiest and most natural ways to keep your breath fresh.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-392829911 artcta\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:29px\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">The News18 Lifestyle section brings you the latest on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/health-and-fitness\/\">health<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/topics\/fashion\/\">fashion<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/travel\/\">travel<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/food\/\">food<\/a>, and culture \u2014 with wellness tips, celebrity style, travel inspiration, and recipes. <\/span>Also Download the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/eng-article-eop\">News18 App<\/a>\u00a0to stay updated!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-392829911 coral-count-custom\">view comments<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc \">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
