The GURU Copper Tongue Scraper is made from 100% pure copper and comes with a convenient travel bag. For centuries, the Ayurvedic practice of tongue scraping with copper has been revered for its medicinal benefits. Its natural antimicrobial and antibacterial properties make it an effective tool for promoting oral hygiene. While it may seem unusual, daily tongue scraping is an excellent way to remove harmful bacteria and toxins from the mouth, leading to better digestive health and a stronger immune system. Over time, the Guru copper tongue scraper will naturally tarnish, which is perfectly safe. If you prefer to keep it shiny, simply boil a mixture of vinegar and salt (approximately 3 parts vinegar to 1 part salt). Place the scraper in the solution for 10-15 minutes, then use an old cloth to remove any tarnish. Included with your purchase is a SCRAPE BEFORE YOU BRUSH bathroom sticker. Place it in your bathroom as a reminder to scrape your tongue before brushing your teeth. It’s an easy way to build a healthy habit for life! All our products are 100% sustainable, reusable, recyclable, and earth-friendly.
