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.

Frequently 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.

  • RECOVERY EXPERIENCE WITH THE EXNER HACKER
    On a Facebook investment page, I got interested in Ethereum cryptocurrency mining and I was sent a link for a company with which I could invest, fun-eth.com. I opened a Coinbase wallet and transferred money to fun-eth.com with Anthony Wilson’s encouragement. Promising that if I invested $600,000 and the company reached the investment goal, I would qualify for the premium big fish seven Ethereum welcome token. Not only did I lose the $600,000, but the scammers were able to steal another $98,000 from the wallet I gave to them. They then told me that I needed to invest another $300,000 by a given date to get access to withdrawals on my account. I contacted a Friend in New Jersey who has been making his way on BTC, he advised me not to make any more payments but instead seek help to recover the earlier investment. He recommended The Exner Hacker, who had helped him on earlier Bitcoin recovery. I mailed them via Theexnerhacker@protonmail.com. It has been over two months since I got my dollars back. Thank you sir and your team for the work well done.

  • We need to stop being fooled by all these brokers and account managers, they scammed me over $100,000 of my investment capital, they kept on requesting for extra funds before a withdrawal request can be accepted and processed, in the end, I lost all my money. All efforts to reach out to their customer support desk had declined, I found it very hard to move on. I was researching and find a broadcast that teaches on how scammed victims can recover their funds, I contacted the email provided for consultation, (cyberpunk1@cyberservices.com) I got feedback after some minutes and I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay, to my greatest surprise I was able to recover my money back including my profit which my capital generated. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back.
