Elevate your oral care routine |
Tongue scraping offers more than just hygienic benefits – it's a vital part of daily routines in many Eastern cultures. Ayurveda teaches that the tongue does more than taste your favourite foods; it reflects your overall health. Each part of your tongue is linked to different internal organs, and its appearance can indicate the presence of toxins, known as “Ama”. Beyond cleansing, scraping is believed to stimulate the organs and aid digestion, enhancing your overall well-being. Because of its spongy texture, your tongue traps impurities, making regular scraping essential. You only need 1 minute a day to integrate this easy-to-do ritual into your routine! The best time to use your copper tongue scraper is in the morning, right after waking up, on an empty stomach, and it can be repeated in the evening or after meals to maintain cleanliness. |

Is a tongue scraper better than brsuhing your tongue?
Absolutely! A tongue cleaner is specifically designed to clean the tongue, making it more effective than a toothbrush. Its shape perfectly matches to the tongue’s natural contours, effectively removing the white coating, especially in the hard-to-reach areas at the back of the tongue.
A tongue scraper is also gentler and less likely to trigger the gag reflex than a toothbrush. With a scraper, you can comfortably reach the back of the tongue, where most bad-breath-causing bacteria reside.
What's the best moment to scrape my tongue?
The ideal time is in the morning, right after waking up on an empty stomach. This maximises the elimination of overnight bacterial buildup. It’s also beneficial after meals or in the evening to maintain oral freshness throughout the day.
Should I use a tongue cleaner before or after brushing?
Either one is effective! Many prefer scraping before brushing. This helps remove bacteria from the tongue first, which can then be brushed away and rinsed out, leading to a better cleanse.

Why is copper often recommended for tongue scrapers?
Copper is highly recommended for tongue scrapers due to its exceptional antibacterial properties. This metal has been recognised for centuries for its ability to naturally kill a wide range of bacteria on contact. Its antimicrobial action ensures that the tongue cleaner remains hygienic with each use, making it a safer choice compared to other materials.
Copper is also favoured for its durability. Unlike plastic scrapers that need frequent replacement, a copper tongue scraper is built to last! This longevity makes it both eco-friendly and cost-effective. Plus, it doesn’t contribute to the production of plastic waste, making it an environmentally conscious option.
Can tongue scraping cure bad breath?
While bad breath can have a variety of causes, one of the most common is the buildup of bacteria on the tongue. Tongue scraping directly targets this issue, making it a highly effective method of improving bad breath. The back of the tongue is often home to bacteria that produce sulphur compounds, the main cause of unpleasant mouth odours. A copper tongue scraper effectively removes this bacterial layer, as well as food particles and dead cells, thereby tackling one of the main sources of bad breath.
It’s important to note that while tongue cleaners are excellent for treating oral hygiene-related bad breath, there are other possible causes, such as digestive problems, oral infections or health problems. However, for the majority of bad breath cases, regular use of a tongue scraper can bring real improvement. What’s more, a clean tongue improves taste perception and stimulates chewing and saliva production, all of which contribute to a fresher, cleaner mouth. So, in the context of good oral health, tongue scraping is a simple yet highly effective way of keeping your breath fresh.
What's the white coating on my tongue?
The white coating you often see on your tongue is a mix of bacteria, dead cells, and food debris. The tongue’s surface, with its tiny bumps, can trap these particles, resulting in a visible white buildup, especially overnight or between brushings.
When you use a tongue cleaner, you’re physically removing this layer from your tongue’s surface. This will cleanse and clear the appearance of your tongue and also reduces bacteria in your mouth, contributing to a healthier oral environment.
Can tongue scraping improve taste?
Totally! By removing buildup, you expose and revitalises taste buds, intensifying your taste sensations.
Can children use a tongue scraper?
They can, under adult supervision. It’s important to teach them gentle scraping to avoid irritation.
How do I clean my copper tongue scraper?
Cleaning your tongue scraper is super easy! Give it a good rinse and dry it off after each use. For a deeper clean, it’s totally dishwasher safe. And for those times when you want to be extra thorough, you can also sterilise it by boiling it in water. That way, your scraper stays hygienic and ready for your next use.
How often should I use a tongue claener?
For best results, use your copper tongue scraper every day. A quick scrape in the morning and another in the evening can really make a difference in maintaining top-notch oral hygiene.
How to remove stains from my copper tongue scraper?
Stains on copper are natural due to oxidation but can be cleaned easily. While these stains don’t affect the functionality of your tongue scraper, they can be easily cleaned to restore its original look.
- Step 1:Make a Cleaning Paste: Mix salt and white vinegar (or lemon juice) in equal parts to form a paste.
- Step 2:Apply: Gently apply this paste on the stained areas using a soft cloth or toothbrush.
- Step 3:Scrub Gently: Lightly scrub to lift the stains.
- Step 4:Rinse Well: Rinse the scraper under running water to wash away the paste.
- Step 5:Dry Completely: Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth to prevent further oxidation.
Tip: Regular cleaning post-use can prevent stain build-up. Rinse and dry it after each use to maintain its condition.
