What is tongue cleansing?... And why is it useful?

What is tongue cleansing?

Tongue cleansing is the practice or scraping dead skin cells, bacteria, food particles and fungi from the surface area of the tongue.  It is a common practice in India to prevent oral hygiene issues.  A build up of bacteria on the back of the tongue can be the cause of bad breath.  It is a quick and simple means of maintaining oral health.  You can use a toothbrush for the job but it is much better to purchase a tongue scraper specifically designed for the job.  You can purchase a tongue scraper off the internet or usually from your local health food store.

Namaste          Luma
