How to Clean Your Tongue | Benefits of Tongue Scraping

In Ayurveda, scraping the tongue with a tongue cleaner every day promotes fresh breath naturally, eliminates the white coating that can build up on the tongue, and can strengthen the taste buds. In this video, Banyan ambassador Monica Bloom will show you some of the key tongue cleaning benefits, how to clean your tongue, and how tongue cleaners work.

I'm 28 and I discovered tongue scraping pretty recently. What a life changer. It improved everything from my confidence to the smell of my pillow and my room. I can also taste the nuances in my coffee better. I scrape twice a day. So easy and so effective.

Found this looking for an alternative to scrubbing with toothbrush cos it makes me throw up sometimes from gag reflex... I can't believe there are people who don't clean their tongues it makes your breathe taste like actual shit.

I do every morning but still some kind of stubborn white layer remain as it is. How to clean that layer?

[OutragedPufferfish]

I use a small table knife to clean my tongue, maybe it sounds weird but it works so much better than all the tongue cleaners I tried....

How long does it take for your toungue to be completly clean? Like should it be completely clean the first time you scrape it?or does it take like weeks to months for it to be super clean??

I use a copper scraper. Ayurveda recommend either gold, silver or copper tongue scraper. Thanks for uploading this video.

A tongue comb or scraper is a plastic device that you can buy over the counter at any drug store. They vary in size, shape, and what they are made of. You should pick one that is comfortable in your hand. It should be about the same width as your tongue. - Dr. Lisa Germain, I have no agenda other than to provide you with information. My hope is that “This Old Tooth”, my blog, my newsletter and my podcast become your portal for open communication and resource guide to all things dental.

I have a question.... If you brush 1st would it loosen up the stuff on your tougue a little better than just scraping 1st

[swinkgirl]

So everyone gonna act like those arms actually belong to that lady????

Question. Is it true that 15 minutes after brushing, your mouth has the same amount of bacteria than before you brushed?!

[kathryncollins]

In Ayurveda I read that we should drink a full glass of water in the morning, before brushing our teeth. I read it’s because the enzymes on your tongue get washed down to the stomach and kickstart digestion. Should I still tongue scrape first?

[karthikchand]

I daily use tongue cleaner to clean my tongue for at least 20 times because my tongue is always white in color and if I do tongue cleaning morning then once again afternoon my tongue becomes white. That's why I do tongue cleaning a number of times to avoid my white tounge but it becomes white after some time. And due to this I got OCD of using tongue cleaner to clean my tongue again and again day and evening for making my tongue Pink in color.

Monica has very good presentation skills. She’d make a fun school teacher

[srix]

so how do we clean the tongue scraper? do we need to soap it?

[pamelahensley]

This a cool video. Have you tried the stilobrush for your tongue?? Its probably the best one I've ever used. Way better than tongue scrapers.
