Can’t do mint. Gives me heartburn. ANY kind of mint. And I take a PPI for GERD.

I use fennel or clove/cinnamon toothpaste. Tom’s of Maine.

Don’t understand the whole culture of “minty fresh breath.”

I learned decades ago as an army medic to never get close enough to a patient’s face you can smell last night’s steak rotting from poor dental hygiene
and have pretty much kept as far from people’s faces as possible in general.

Peppermint doesn’t upset my stomach, but after it I itch all over. Moringa is also supposed to help with BP but there are some medicines it doesn’t do well with.
