Ever wonder why your breath still smells bad even after brushing? The culprit might be *tonsil stones*—small, smelly white balls in the back of your throat. As the article says, they’re made of “food detritus, dead cells, and germs” and are “one of the most insidious reasons of persistent foul breath.”

**Hygiene Isn’t Always Enough**
Even people with good oral hygiene can struggle. Bad breath can come from dry mouth, diet, stress, or digestion. Store-bought mouthwashes often mask the odor but don’t fix the root problem.

**Natural Cure in Your Kitchen**
A simple homemade mouthwash may help. According to the article, all you need is:

* Juice of 2 lemons (neutralizes odor)
* 250 ml lukewarm water
* ½ tbsp ground cinnamon (antibacterial)
* 1 tbsp liquid honey (soothing)
* 1 tbsp baking soda (restores pH)

Mix, store in a glass bottle, shake, rinse after brushing—done.

**Why It Works**
“Lemon is a natural deodorizer, and cinnamon inhibits bacteria,” the article notes. Baking soda neutralizes odor, and honey adds flavor and comfort.

**A Daily Wellness Habit**
This DIY remedy is “inexpensive, smells great, and enhances your confidence.”
