Benefits of Tongue Scraping

1. Reduces Bad Odor or bad breath that arises due to buildup of bacteria, toxins and dead cells from the food eaten.
2. Enhances Ability to Taste : A clean tongue is able to enjoy the flavors of food much better. Coated tongues block taste buds resulting in false cravings and overeating thus impacting overall health.
3. Improves Oral & Dental Health : The buildup of bacteria from the tongue results in periodontal issues, buildup of plaque, decaying teeth, infections of the gums, receding gums & eventual loss of teeth.
4. Healthy Internal Organs : The Indian Science of Ayurveda states that the tongue is a reflection of internal organs. A tongue map shows various parts of the internal organs in our body. By scraping daily, morning & night, we are massaging and stimulating the corresponding internal organs.
5. Improves Digsestive Health & Immune System : In the restful state of sleep, our bodies start to detoxify. Part of that is seen as the coating on the tongue. Reingesting these toxins is like re-eating vomited food. Removing sludge via scraping results in a health tongue and healthy immune system.
