Use your tongue scraper first thing in the morning, before eating or drinking. Hold the ends of the scraper and gently place it at the back of your tongue. With light pressure, pull the scraper forward toward the tip of the tongue. Rinse the scraper with warm water and repeat 5–10 times, or until the tongue appears clean. Avoid scraping too hard—this should never cause discomfort or irritation. After use, rinse the scraper thoroughly and allow it to dry. Follow with brushing your teeth and, if desired, coconut oil swishing.

Tongue scraping is a traditional Ayurvedic practice used to support digestion, detoxification, and overall oral health. Overnight, the body eliminates toxins through the mouth, forming a coating on the tongue made up of bacteria, biofilm, and metabolic waste. Removing this buildup helps reduce the amount of toxins reabsorbed into the digestive tract, supports healthier gut bacteria, improves breath, and enhances taste perception—making it easier to tune into true hunger and satiety signals.

Copper tongue scrapers are traditionally preferred in Ayurveda because copper has natural antimicrobial properties that help inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. Copper is also believed to balance the oral microbiome and support subtle energetic cleansing. Using a copper scraper is a simple daily ritual that supports both physical digestion and the body’s broader detox pathways.
