What does Ayurveda say: In Ayurveda, their sweet, cooling nature helps reduce excess Pitta in the mouth and gut — a major cause of sour odour, acidity, and heat-related digestion issues. Fennel seeds stimulate gentle digestion, prevent gas and bloating, and reduce the buildup of ama (toxins), which often manifest as unpleasant breath. Also, chewing fennel seeds after meals increases saliva production, cleanses the tongue, and releases essential oils with natural antimicrobial properties that help fight odor-causing bacteria.
