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.

The toxins on the tongue are seen as a result of improper digestion in Ayurveda, but for more complicated imbalances it's often helpful to seek out a practitioner. Their wisdom and experience can guide you back into balance. Tongue scraping is generally done daily.

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.

[@kathryncollins8888]

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?

[@banyanbotanicals]

Great question! It would depend on your personal preference, some prefer to scrape first to get accumulated Ama off the tongue. Cleaning the tongue can also kickstart digestion as the gentle movements across the tongue wake up the internal organs.

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.

Same here, and hitting the sensitive sides a few times in a row is pretty uncomfortable. 😶

[@sarahdohring1551]

My tongue does that sometimes, but if I hold my tongue a certain way, I can get the middle to come up. Maybe you just naturally have a clean tongue so you are only getting saliva. Mine scrapes off a ton of thick nasty stuff.

[@nateb-runs5053]

@Elle satya you need to really stick your tongue out as far as you can. Use your middle finger nail to scrape off the goop. If your not squeamish I suggest eating the dead skin cells because there is research on the nutrients that are still not digested by your tongue.

It’s long I just realized her uvula touches the back of her tounge

[@blackpanther6655]

Got myself a plastic one and it doesnt clean that much plus I cant go deep cuz I gag an insane amount

[@banyanbotanicals]

If you decide you'd like to try another, you can purchase stainless steel ones from our website! 💚 www.banyanbotanicals.com/tongue-cleaner/

[@nateb-runs5053]

@black panther6 If you shove your finger down your throat daily your gag reflexes will subside alot more. I highly suggest doing it several times a day for better results... plus your bf will thank u later

can I use soap : )

[@banyanbotanicals]

We don't recommend using soap to help clean the tongue. A tongue scraper can do the trick 💚

[@honshukhan1]

Why don't you try dettol? :)

[@DrakeHDxgaming]

Thanks for the comment!

[@ronaldmitchell265]

Before tongue kissing I'd ask her if she cleaned her tongue first

[@banyanbotanicals]

[@squigga_4237]

Cant you do this with your teeth?

[@banyanbotanicals]

You're welcome to try that method, but we've found that using a tongue cleaner is more effective. 😊

My tounge keeps bleeding when I scrape it

[@elite3737]

John Dewsith scraping too hard maybe? Definitely should tell your dentist 💯 no bleeding should occur. May be a Candida aka yeast infection in mouth which can be easily treated.

[@banyanbotanicals]

Sorry to hear that! We agree with Felicia's comment-bleeding should not occur and may be the result of scraping too hard, but it's a good idea to double-check with a dentist or an Ayurvedic practitioner.

[@sup_monica3597]

I LOVE tongue cleaner.

Im here because my tongue bleed so much 😭😭 first timer

[@banyanbotanicals]

Oh no! We're so sorry to hear about your tongue. Bleeding should not occur, and may be the result of scraping too hard. We recommend scraping more gently next time. If you continue to experience bleeding, it might a good idea to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner.

[@luissantos1801]

I just use my toothbrush and toothpaste

[@banyanbotanicals]

Thanks for tuning in! Did you know almost half of our oral bacteria live on and in the crevices of our tongue. The scraping action of a tongue cleaner collects these toxic tongue coatings (which can range in color from clear, white, yellow, or green) and removes them from the body. If this coating isn’t removed, taste buds can become blocked, leading to false cravings and the inability to recognize the six tastes, which affects digestion and causes the build-up of ama. 🌱💚

So finally all you ppl from western countries who used to insult us INDIANS as illiterate, stupid ppl, unhygienic, etc etc... So finally u have realised the importance of Ayurveda & u r coming back to ur own actual religion that's SANATANI-HINDU😏😏😏😏... Ur allopathy which u all were soo proud of, is absolutely weirdest methods of treatment.. As it solves one issue thereby giving birth to another.... So trust me, in few more years all you 700 crore ppl will accept our HINDUISM🧡🧡🧡.. JAY HIND!!🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🧡🧡❤️
