Stainless steel tongue scraper Maharishi Ayurveda

In the morning, cleaning the surface of the tongue with a tongue scraper takes only a few seconds, but it frees the tongue from debris and debris that accumulates overnight as a coating on the surface of the tongue. These include bacteria and toxins that should not be returned to the body.

Tongue cleansing can have a positive effect against bad breath, periodontal disease, and tooth decay - and it’s not just the ancient Ayurvedic texts that talk about it. Even Western dentists have long discovered the benefits and recommend using a tongue scraper.

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian science about healthy living, with a strong focus on tongue hygiene. Daily cleaning of the tongue, along with brushing your teeth, removes toxic deposits known as Ama. According to Ayurveda, a clean tongue is the key to body health. Food debris, bacterial plaque, accumulated toxins and fungi growing on the tongue are the cause of many problems with the oral cavity and a variety of common health problems. It is a favorable environment for microorganisms that cause inflammatory processes in the oral cavity (caries, periodontitis, stomatitis) and poisons the body (stomach, gastrointestinal tract). In addition, decaying bacteria release flying sulfur compounds that cause an unpleasant odor from the mouth. Modern oral hygiene professionals also agree with the need to clean the tongue daily by brushing your teeth.

Regular tongue cleaning helps to:

• Get rid of many disease-causing microorganisms that cause various diseases of the oral cavity (caries, periodontitis, stomatitis).

• Get rid of bad breath.

• Activate and stimulate the work of internal organs through the massage of active tongue points and receptors, and, accordingly, improve general well-being.

• Wiping the tongue helps to revive the taste sensations, which are lost due to plaque. New flavors will open up for you, and, oddly enough, you may start eating less. According to Ayurveda, the need to eat is not only a suppression of hunger but also satisfies the taste buds. When the sense of taste is suppressed, it leads to overeating and being overweight.

Tongue cleaning technique:

Fully extend and tighten your tongue as if you want it to reach your chin. Hold the tongue cleaner with both hands and clean the tongue from the tip of the root, "by the hair," with gentle gentle movements. Do not press too hard to avoid damaging the tongue tissue. To avoid discomfort, try not to touch the root of the tongue itself.

Clean until no residue remains on the tongue. The tongue should be cleaned twice a day along with brushing your teeth. It is very important to clean the tongue before eating, because before going to bed, because food residues on the tongue decompose quickly. When you see what is left after cleaning your tongue, it will become clear why you don’t just need to brush your teeth.
