Use the following herbal treatments with caution to avoid possible allergic reactions. Use commonsense, and check for irritations and other problems using smaller amounts before fully using these and any other herbal remedies.
Natural Tooth Cleaner
Along with your regular fluoride toothpaste, use fresh garden sage leaves as a natural and unique tooth cleanser. Pick a fresh sage leaf, and wash it under cool water. Rub it over teeth and gums for a natural cleanser that will leave your mouth feeling fresh and amazingly clean. Your breath will smell fresher too!
Aromatic Mulch
Natural wood mulch has an amazing aroma, but natural wood mulch and fresh herbs together smell even better.

Mulch fresh cuttings, and sprinkle them wherever you want the unique scent of your favorite fresh herbs. Nothing will go to waste, and fresh garden herbs will grow more abundantly than ever. Just make sure they have not gone to seed or you might end up with herbs in undesirable locations.
Unique Breath Freshener

Breath freshener provided by nature works far better than a stick of gum or anything in a bottle. It costs far less too!
