The ancient ayurvedic practice of Jihwa Prakshalana, tongue scraping, is recommended every morning before brushing. Tongue scraping has been proven to reduce bacteria in the mouth. Merely brushing the tongue with a toothbrush does not have the same effectiveness. A tongue scraper removes about 80% more bacteria than a regular toothbrush.
The added benefit of using an antimicrobial copper tongue scraper are the anti-bacterial properties inherent in the copper.
