    [REAL TALK] Tongue scraping, ever heard of it?

    In college I had a Hindu girlfriend until her father determined I had no intention of marrying her or anyone at that age.

    She was heavily into Ayurvedic methods to maintain health, and introduced me to tongue scraping. I have some tools from India, stainless steel.

    Here’s some info :



    How is tongue scraping beneficial?

    Debris, bacteria, and dead cells can build up on your tongue over time. This can lead to bad breath and have a negative impact on your overall oral health.

    Using a tongue sc****r can help remove this buildup, as well as:

    Improve your sense of taste. Older research suggests that using a tongue sc****r twice daily can improve your sense of taste. Your tongue may be able to better distinguish between bitter, sweet, salty, and sour sensations.
    Improve the appearance of your tongue. Buildup of excess debris can cause your tongue to take on a white, coated appearance. Daily scraping can help remove this coating and prevent it from returning.
    Remove bacteria. Researchers in one 2005 studyTrusted Source found that using a tongue sc****r twice a day for seven days reduced the overall incidence of Mutans streptococci and Lactobacilli bacteria in the mouth. These bacteria types are known to cause bad breath and dental decay.
    Improve overall health. Removing bacteria is key to preventing cavities, gum disease, and other conditions affecting the mouth. Tongue scraping can help clearTrusted Source these bacteria from the mouth, improving your tongue’s appearance and overall sensation.
    Reduce bad breath. Although tongue scraping can’t replace brushing your teeth, scraping may do some things better. Researchers in one 2004 study found that scraping was more effective than brushing at removing odor-causing bacteria.

        I do the same. I used to buy those tongue sc****rs from Walmart, but the toothbrush works almost as good.

              Use a spoon every day. Brushing alone doesn’t get it all.

                Ayurveda has a lot of interesting health practices. Oil pulling is another one.

                  Glad to see we got guys who know about keeping the tongue clean. I don’t eat breakfast until I brush and sc**** the tongue, then do it after eating.

                  I’ve been around too many bosses and co-workers who seem to snack on chit sandwiches al day!
