INDIAAVEDA COPPER TONGUE SCRAPER

Use of the Copper Tongue Scraper

Classical Ayurvedic texts describe how all substances in nature contain the energy and intelligence of Universal Consciousness and, therefore, all have healing value when used appropriately. For this reason, Ayurveda, in addition to utilizing the healing properties of foods, oils, prana, and herbs, recommends the use of metals such as copper.

Copper's natural anti-pathogenic properties are effective in reducing and eliminating bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Scrapers are available in a variety of materials, but copper scrapers are the classic and most recommended.

Benefits of using a tongue scraper

Scraping the tongue every morning is an essential part of a daily Ayurvedic and yoga routine, which eliminates toxins accumulated in it throughout the night.

The surface of the tongue is a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause infections in the teeth and gums, which are often responsible for bad breath. Cleaning your tongue with a copper scraper is the most effective way to eliminate these bacteria.

In addition, scraping your tongue in the mornings sends reflex messages to all the internal organs of your body, stimulating the digestive fire, helping better assimilation of food from the start of the day.
