Description
Tongue scraping is an Ayurvedic self-care ritual for a healthy mouth and oral microbiome. Also known as Jihwa Prakshalana, tongue scraping is a gentle practice that cleanses the tongue and is a daily ritual recommended for general health and wellbeing.
Ayurveda considers the tongue as an indicator of gut imbalances or digestive problems. Having a white coating on the tongue signals the presence of Ama (digestive toxins) inside the body. Tongue scraping has been traditionally used to:
- Remove bacteria and toxins from the tongue
- Maintain oral hygiene for fresh breath and improved taste
- Induce salivary secretions for digestion and gut health
Following traditional Ayurvedic practices, Gutsi® Tongue Scrapers are crafted out of 100% copper, as this metal has natural antimicrobial and anti-bacterial properties. Plus, copper provides vital enzymes that promote the survival of good bacteria and other important microbes in your mouth – this makes it the ultimate material for tongue cleaning! Each tongue scraper comes packaged in an eco-friendly organic cotton bag for reuse and storage.
Whether you are trying to clear out the white, coated layer on your tongue or maintain better oral hygiene, the Gutsi® Tongue Scraper can help!
