copper tongue scraper
Traditionally used in Ayurveda to clean the tongue in the morning. The tongue scraper helps remove coating on the tongue which contributes to bad breath and accumulation of bacteria. According to Ayurveda the coating of the tongue is a build up of ama (toxins) and is a sign of kapha excess in the body.
- How to use
- Cleaning
The tongue scraper is recommended to be used first thing in the morning. Take the curved edge as far back as comfortable on the tongue and scrape forward. Work the middle and each side of the tongue, suing approximately 7 strokes. If you find this induces the gag reflex, try being more gentle and starting further forward on the tongue.
Copper naturally oxidises over time. To regain the shine of your tongue scraper apply combination of lemon and salt to it. Rub with a cotton cloth and rinse. Dry with a clean cloth.
