The Benefits of Tongue Scraping
Jihwa Prakshalana, or the Ayurvedic self-care ritual called tongue scraping has becoming one of my favourite morning rituals. Why? Because one of my philosophies is better out than in, and once you use a tongue scraper for the first time, you will understand exactly what I mean.
My Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor introduced me to this tool and now there isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t use it! This oral hygiene practice removes bacteria, food debris, fungi, toxins, and dead cells from the surface of the tongue, and removes it from your mouth (2). You will be amazed by exactly how much “stuff” comes off of your tongue each and every day. You can learn more behind the science of tongue scraping by visiting the reference articles below.
