Parsley Tablets to Reduce Garlic Smells

Garlic has been touted as an herb with a number of properties that are beneficial to health. However, garlic can often cause odorous breath; even garlic taken in pill form can cause bad breath because of the gasses that are released by the stomach into the mouth. While there are countless breath-freshening products on the market, parsley has been hailed as a solution to garlic-induced halitosis.

Why Parsley?

• Parsley contains high concentrations of chlorophyll, which traditionally has been used to treat bad breath and other body odors. There are claims that the practice of chewing parsley to eliminate bad breath has been around for thousands of years. Although specific scientific studies on the use of parsley or chlorophyll in treating bad breath are not readily available, anecdotal evidence exists that consuming high-chlorophyll plants, such as parsley, can go a long way toward freshening breath.

Parsley Application

• Tablets containing dried, condensed parsley recently have become popular. These tablets are said to eliminate bad breath, especially smells brought on by garlic, as effectively as the fresh version of the herb, though there is not a lot of scientific evidence to be found regarding this claim. Parsley is most commonly combined with garlic in pill form so that the positive health benefits of garlic can be experienced without bad breath.

Recommended Usage

• If you are curious to see what parsley tablets can do, both parsley and garlic are natural food substances, so no major negative side effects are likely to occur. As always, however, it is a good idea to follow the recommended usage directions on supplement packaging regarding safe dosage.
