Living Libations Copper Tongue Scraper
Tongue scraping is an ancient Ayurvedic method of cleaning the mouth of bacteria and dirt. It gently removes dead skin, food particles, fungi and bacteria from the tongue. This product from Living Libations is made of pure copper, which makes it even more effective. Why copper? Because of its antimicrobial properties, copper has long been used against fungi and bacteria. Recent discoveries show that it is particularly effective against the dangerous MRSA bacteria, for example. Copper is also widely used on sailing ships to keep algae at bay. This copper tongue scraper is therefore twice as effective!
How do you use the tongue scraper?
- Check your tongue for changes. Before you start scraping, look at your tongue in the mirror. Pay attention to the texture and color of your tongue, and check for any buildup. Do this before each scraping session so you can keep a close eye on the health of your tongue.
- Scrape from back to front. Most of the bacteria that collect on the tongue are found on the back. Therefore, scrape from back to front, gently gliding over the surface of your tongue.
- Rinse between each scraping. Rinse the scraper with warm water to remove any residue that has collected on the scraper.
- Repeat this 7 to 10 times. See what works for you. You may find that quick strokes with the scraper are more effective at removing than, say, one long scrape.
- Use soap and warm water to clean the copper tongue scraper after each use.
