Copper tongue scrapers have been an Ayurvedic daily ritual for the last 3000 years. Tongue scrapers come in many different materials, such as stainless steel and plastic, however copper, due to its incredible antimicrobial properties, is by far the most effective in eliminating bacteria as well as dead skin cells and food debris. Using a copper tongue scraper regularly will significantly improve your oral health and reawaken your taste buds.
After brushing your teeth, stick your tongue out as far as possible and scrape lightly from the back to the front of the tongue. Rinse the scraper under water for each scrape. Repeat about 4 to 5 times. Wash the scraper with warm water and mild soap after you are finished and polish with vinegar and salt if verdigris oxidation occurs
