According to Ayurveda, scraping the tongue should be done first thing in the morning right before or after brushing your teeth. It is a daily routine that helps remove the ama (toxins) that accumulates on the tongue throughout the day and during sleep. So it is a good preventative measure that yogis have done for thousands of years. Tongue cleaning also enhances the sense of taste, improves digestion and gently stimulates the organs connected to various energy points in the tongue.

Plus, a Tongue Cleaner is a natural breath freshener that effectively removes the bacteria that causes bad breath, gum disease, tooth decay and plaque.

Just glide it a few times and watch those ugly coats of ama that cause bad breath come off with remarkable ease!

We do not recommend using a plastic tongue cleaner. An unalloyed metal should be used for best results.

This Copper Tongue Cleaner is specially recommended for Vata and Kapha types. (A steel tongue cleaner is recommended for any dosha type. A silver tongue scraper is recommended for Pitta types.)
