How to use: Soak 1 tsp fennel seeds in a glass of water, and drink it the next morning.
Benefits: It is said to cool the digestive tract, reduce mouth odor by improving the gut fire.
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.
