Tongue cleaning originates in the ancient Indian medical system of Ayurveda and has been practiced for over 6000 years. It's just gaining popularity in Europe thanks to recent medical research studies which are realising the benefits of tongue scraping. Indeed, the tongue is one of your body's primary detoxification paths and keeping it clean is just as important as brushing your teeth. 

The science now agrees with the ancestral Ayurveda tradition. Regularly scrubbing the noxious white residue off your tongue eliminates bad breath and prevents oral diseases as well as providing a greater well–being 

Made from 100% copper, it's the only material a tongue scraper should be made from, as copper is well known for its broad spectrum antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. 

Indeed, it takes about 75 minutes for a copper surface to naturally get rid of the bacteria’s living on it. This means that your copper tongue scraper will always be much cleaner than a plastic or steel tongue scraper.
