Very Odd Cure for Bad Breath
Drink tea.
Researchers from the College of Dentistry at the University of Illinois
at Chicago say compounds in tea can slow the growth of bacteria in
our mouths, which is the primary cause of bad breath. The magic
ingredients are antioxidants called polyphenols, and they are found in
both green and black teas.
It's the bacteria that live on the back surface of the tongue and in
the
deep pockets between the gums and teeth that make our breath smell
bad. The bacteria "make horrible, smelly stuff," lead study
author
Christine D. Wu explained to Reuters in an interview. "That's why
we
get bad breath."
Wu and her colleagues showed in earlier studies that black tea can
slow dental plaque formation and help your toothpaste work more
effectively. Her latest laboratory experiments have shown that tea's
polyphenols not only inhibit three species of bacteria that cause
halitosis, but also stop an enzyme that causes the formation of
hydrogen sulfide--the ultimate culprit for rotten breath.
But here's the catch: Tea won't sweeten your breath. So don't throw
out the mouthwash just yet. "All we can say is that a cup of tea
will
produce more than enough of these active materials to affect the
bacteria," she said. "Remember, this is a lab study. In the
mouth,
bacteria are protected by all sorts of things."

let them drink it.
Depression Tamer Tea
1 tsp St John's Wort
1 tsp Gingko Biloba
Place 1 cup of water into a glass or procelain pot and bring to a boil.
Take the pot of the heat and add the herbals. Put a tight lid on the
pot and let it steep for five minutes. Strain out herbals. Place in a
cup
and sweeten with honey of desired.
