How To Clean Your Tongue (tongue Scraping)

Sign in to review or comment
Toxins in the blood often accumulate on the back of the tongue. While a slight coating on the back of the tongue the size of a dime is normal, a thick or large coating is a sign of a large toxic burden. As bacteria thrive off the accumulated toxins, they give rise to a foul odor that causes bad breath. The film also covers your taste buds, ruining your palate.

To freshen your breath, remove toxins from your tongue, and improve your enjoyment of food, Ayurveda recommends scraping your tongue daily in the morning. To find out more on how to clean your tongue, click the link below:
