The Tongue Cleaner is an effective way of removing impurities (known in Ayurveda as "Ama") from the tongue. By removing bacteria and toxins, it helps to cleanse the body, removing harmful plaque-causing bacteria from the mouth and giving one fresher breath.
How to Use Your Copper Tongue Cleaner:
- Preparation: Gently rinse your mouth with water.
- Positioning: Hold the cleaner by the handles with your dominant hand, and extend your tongue as far as comfortably possible.
- Gentle Scraping: Place the curved edge of the cleaner at the back of your tongue. Gently scrape forward towards the tip, applying light pressure.
- Repeat & Rinse: Repeat this scraping motion 3-5 times, or until you've removed most of the coating on your tongue. Rinse the cleaner with warm water after each scrape.
- Clean & Dry: After use, rinse the tongue cleaner thoroughly with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive soap. Dry the cleaner completely with a clean cloth before storing it.
