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.
