Tongue Scraping

Tongue cleaning or tongue scraping is the daily Ayurvedic ritual of gently scraping unwanted toxins and residue off of the tongue. This practice eliminates bad breath causing bacteria, draws toxins or ama out of the body, and prepares the digestive system by stimulating the taste buds. Traditionally, tongue cleaners are made from copper which provides a naturally, powerful antibacterial action. Copper tongue scrapers thoroughly cleanse and will last longer than plastic or stainless steel options.

DIRECTIONS:

Open your mouth and extend your tongue to inspect for a film or coating. Place the tongue cleaner towards the back of your tongue and gently scrape the ama or film forward and out of the mouth. Rinse the ama off of the tongue cleaner and repeat this process until you no longer see residue collecting on the tongue cleaner and your tongue is clean.
