tongue scraping
Copper tongue scrapping is an Ayurvedic self-care ritual that removes bacteria, food debris, fungi, toxins, and dead cells from the surface of the tongue. Let us talk you through what we know and hopefully help you to make a decision on whether tongue scraping is for you.
WHAT IS A TONGUE SCRAPER?
A tongue scraper, also known as a tongue tingler, is a long, thin, piece of (usually) metal that has been rounded into a "U" shape. Stainless steel, copper, and plastic are the most commonly used materials when it comes to tongue scrapers. While plastic is affordable and can be gentler on your tongue, steel or copper tend to be the more effective options.
HOW DOES TONGUE SCRAPING WORK?
We have bacteria in our mouth, good and bad, but if there is a build up of the bad it can cause bad breath, tooth decay and infections.
Tongue scraping is a way of cleaning your tongue naturally and removing the extra layer of bacteria, food debris and dead cells that sit on the surface of your tongue.
This holistic approach to mouth hygiene promotes a healthy tongue improving oral and digestive health.
ARE COPPER TONGUE SCRAPERS BEST?
Copper is naturally anti-microbial and anti-bacterial, plus it provides vital enzymes that promote the survival of good bacteria and other important microbes in your mouth which is why it is the ultimate material. Silver and stainless steel are also ofter preferred materials for a tongue scraper. We stock both a Copper Tongue Cleaner and Stainless Steel Tongue Cleaner.

BENEFITS OF TONGUE SCRAPING
In Ayurveda, it is believed that your digestion and health begin with your taste. And so, by using a tongue scraper and removing the build up on your tongue and stimulating the salivary gland, this encourages the digestive process to run smoothly and improve your gut health. They believe that by massaging your tongue can detox different organs in your body.
Other believed benefits of tongue scraping include:
- Improving your sense of taste and therefore your health, as you will be able to taste your food and drink with more intensity and so will need to add less salt and sugar to your meals.
- Removing bacteria and plaque from your tongue and therefore helping to temporarily get rid of bad breath. However, please note that you must use your tongue scraper regularly for this to last.
- Improving your oral health, as removing this layer can help to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, cavities and many other problems.
- Bettering the aesthetic of your tongue by getting rid of the whiteness that can build up.
Please note although tongue scraping is believed to benefit your oral health in many ways, you must still brush your teeth, use floss and mouthwash where possible.

VERIFIED CUSTOMER REVIEWSFrequently Asked Questions
Do tongue scrapers actually work?
Tongue scrapers quickly and efficiently remove extra particles from the surface of your tongue. They are inexpensive and specifically designed for cleaning your tongue, unlike a toothbrush.
Is it safe to put copper in your mouth?
Copper is essential for good health however, exposure to higher doses can be harmful. Daily use of a copper tongue scraper will not leave you with adverse symptoms.
How often should I use a tongue scraper?
You should scrape your tongue once a day, and most experts recommend that you do it after brushing either in the morning or evening.
What about tongue brushes?
Tongue brushes look similar to a standard toothbrush but are made with bristles that are designed to help clean tongues rather than scrub teeth. They are kind on the tongue and gums thanks to their rounded shape and lightweight. These are said to be comparably effective to tongue scrapers. Shop our Bamboo Tongue Cleaner.
My tongue scraper is tarnished
Copper does oxidise with air over time which forms a coating on it . This is actually a good measure for the purity of the copper.
Can tongue scrapers damage my your tastebuds?
Make sure you scrape gently. A little goes a long way.
I was in desperate need of bringing my ex lover back. He left me for another woman. It happened so fast and I had no say in the situation at all. He just dumped me after 3 years with no explanation. I contacted Dr.Oniha through his website and He told me what I need to do before he can help me and I did what he told me, after i provided what he wanted, he cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did his spell, my boyfriend started texting me again and felt horrible for what he just put me through. He said that I was the most important person in his life and he knows that now. We moved in together and he was more open to me than before and he started spending more time with me than before. Ever since Dr.Oniha helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before. I highly recommend Dr. Oniha to anyone in need of relationship/marriage help.

The Covid-19 pandemic struck the world and became a disaster for my family as I saw my finances crumbling and my merchandise folded. After the mind boggling choice for loans online and getting rejected for a small business loan by my bank and mortgage provider, I reached out to a friend and explained my frustration then she hinted me about Trust Advance Credit. I contacted them expecting the worst and more rejection as usual but surprisingly I was proved wrong with their exceptional customer service that was beyond professionalism. They omitted my low credit score and not only helped me secure a loan but gave me some incredibly useful tips to help keep my credit file in tip top shape in the future. My loan application was immediately accepted in principle and fully approved within 2 working days and I was able to revive my merchandise that had folded due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
I would like to personally thank Kev and Trust Advance Credit for their first class service and much needed help and advice. I would recommend Trust Advance Credit to anyone, you won’t be disappointed. Reach out to them via Email trustadvancecredit@gmail.com or WhatsApp at +15595931640
