Ayurvedic copper tongue scraper In Ayurveda, tongue cleaning in the morning is part of daily oral hygiene. The copper tongue scraper helps you gently remove plaque from the tongue. The application only takes a few seconds, but thoroughly removes plaque, bacteria and toxins that have settled on the tongue overnight. In addition, cleaning with a tongue scraper prevents bad breath and inflammation in the throat area. The tongue scraper is made of 100% copper. Because of their antibacterial and antimicrobial effects, copper tongue scrapers are much more hygienic than plastic tongue cleaners. Copper does not rust However, discolouration or a patina may occur on the tongue scraper. These can be removed with vinegar and salt. This does not affect the effectiveness of the tongue cleaner.
