Calling bad breath by it's less derogatory and scientific moniker of halitosis does not necessarily take away the unpleasantness associated with it, and definitely does not remove, the foul odor that wafts forth from the mouths of people, whose misfortune it is to be affected by the condition.

Most cases of bad breath are temporary conditions, that have the simplest causes and are usually linked to common habits and vices like: smoking and the intake of nicotine in all forms, the consumption of alcohol, and the culinary use and consumption of foodstuffs associated with strong and lingering odors, common examples are: garlic, onions, anchovies to name but a few.
All of the cases cited above have a temporary presence and are easily removed by brushing one's teeth, or rinsing the mouth thoroughly and by finding herbal or herb based remedies, but in certain cases the condition assumes an unwanted permanency: that is, it becomes chronic, and such cases usually involve an underlying medical basis and cannot be tackled without a medical examination.
The multiplication of odor-causing bacteria inside the mouth causes bad breath in its most common form - other causes can be abdominal and connected to the stomach, to the infection of sinus cavities etc. This multiplication of bacteria occurs when salivary production decreases inside the mouth and hence there is a definite connection between chronic dryness in the mouth and bad breath, a drier mouth almost always means an increase in bacterial multiplication and more bad breath.
A decrease in salivary production in the mouth, can thus contribute to bad breath. Other causes of low salivary production and thus bad breath can be: reduced salivary flow with advancing age, respiration through the mouth, diets with restricted food intake-production of saliva decrease with the decrease in masticatory activity (the less you chew, the lesser is the saliva), some kinds of medications and drugs can also induce the condition.

Bad breath is usually common for everyone in the morning i.e. morning breath because of decreased saliva flow during sleep. Bacterial multiplication is also followed by their accumulation in cases where dental hygiene is poor, in cavities and the tongue, on food debris stuck to the tongue and teeth, on dentures etc.
In such cases bad breath may be controlled through proper dental hygiene but if the bad breath persists even after all possible forms of hygiene have been undertaken than the cause of the bad breath may be chronic gum disease or sinus infection that would require different remedial measures.
Herbal based and natural remedies that have herbs as active ingredients can combat bad breath, along with a proper dental hygiene regimen which should include thorough and regular, brushing, flossing and rinsing of the teeth preferably with paste and liquids that have herbal oils or herbs or are generally herbal based, an important place to keep clean is the back of the tongue, which is where bacteria often accumulate and the place people most often miss when cleaning their mouths.

Peppermint oil is an effective bactericidal agent and as an herb based oil is both pleasant to the taste and refreshing at the same time and along with spearmint in the form of an herbal tea can help retain the moistness in the mouth and thus reduce bacterial multiplication.

Spirulina, rinse your mouth with a commercial chlorophyll-rich "green" drink. Tablets can be chewed, alternatively.
Parsley - fresh parsley sprig can be chewed as needed. Parsley oil is used in some natural breath fresheners as a main ingredient.
Kids often have bad breath, because childhood is also a time of great culinary adventure and sweets and chocolates are high on the menu, for normal dental hygiene in kids an herbal mouthwash can be helpful where regular rinsing is needed.
A simple way to make a tingly and refreshing herbal mouthwash is to start by dissolving in about 16 oz of spring water about 400 micrograms of folic acid, 80 drops of hawthorn berry extract, 80 drops of Echinacea, 10 drops of peppermint oil, and 5 drops of thyme.

Ginger tea is also a good alternative to peppermint as it aids in digestion.
