Add this effective step to your oral care routine for a simple but powerful difference.
Copper tongue scraper from Living Libations
Tongue scraping is an age-old Ayurvedic method for cleansing the mouth of bacteria and debris. It gently removes dead skin, food particles, fungi and bacteria from the tongue. This product from Living Libations is made from pure copper, making it even more effective. Why copper? Its antimicrobial properties have long made it a useful material for combating fungi and bacteria. Recent findings show that it is particularly effective against the dangerous MRSA bacterium, for example. Copper is also widely used on sailing boats to keep algae at bay. So this Copper tongue scraper is twice as effective!
How do you use the tongue scraper?
- Check your tongue for changes. Look at your tongue in the mirror before you start scraping. Note its texture and colour, and check for any coating. Do this every time before scraping so you can keep a close eye on your tongue's health.
- Scrape from back to front. Most of the bacteria that collect on the tongue are found at the back. So scrape from back to front, gliding gently over the surface of your tongue.
- Rinse between each stroke. Rinse the scraper with warm water to remove the residue that has collected on it.
- Repeat 7 to 10 times. See what works for you. You may find that quick strokes with the scraper are more effective at removing residue than one long stroke, for example.
- Use soap and warm water to clean the Copper tongue scraper after each use.
