Eau de garlic

Having been in a recent pickle myself, I went on a mission to find the cure to garlic breath.

Garlic is an amazing food used to enhance the flavour and aroma of many dishes. Oven roasted vegetables with garlic wedges, sea salt and rosemary isn't the same without the hint of garlic. Italians love using garlic in their food, so it makes it hard to avoid garlic and that hint of garlic breath.




Garlic's properties range from healing colds and flu's, managing blood pressure and cholesterol levels to being seen as a natural antibiotic. So by no way should you be avoiding garlic, but here are a few remedies to hinder garlic breath:


  • Lemon. Nibbling on a slice of lemon or drinking fresh lemonade can help to get rid of the odor.
  • Parsley or mint. Chewing on a stick of parsley or mint works well as a breath freshener. 
  • Green/ mint tea. Drinking a cup of hot tea after your meal will help wash away the odor.
  • A good brushing of the teeth. This is the best and most obvious way of getting rid of garlic breath. Just make sure to brush thoroughly, with focus on brushing your tongue as well. 
So now you can put your lover out of his/her discomfort, or simply both embrace in a garlic eating binge so neither of you will ever know :) 


Happy Food. Happy Photo's. Happy Life.
