Tongue Scraping || DO IT!!

Do you or someone you love have bad breath? 😐Tongue scraping drastically improves bad breath by significantly reducing oral bacteria from the crevices of all areas the tongue.

This Ayurvedic daily routine for maintaining oral health should be done on a regular basis, in the morning. A tongue scraper is a long, thin, flat piece of metal that is bent in a “U” shape. @drtungs Makes a great stainless steel one!

Standing in front of a mirror, you scrape your tongue by simply holding the two ends of the scraper in both hands, sticking out your tongue, and placing the scraper as far back on your tongue as possible. With firm but gentle pressure, scrape the surface of your tongue in one long stroke from the back to the front. Rinse the scraper and repeat until your tongue feels clean and is free of coating. You won’t believe how much comes off 😝

Tongue scraping should be added to a routine of brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist twice a year.
