Tongue scraping or ‘Jihwa Prakshalana’ is the practice that removes bacteria, food debris, fungi, toxins, and dead cells from the surface of the tongue.
In Ayurvedic medicine, the health of the tongue is an indication of the health of the whole body.
 
Benefits of tongue scraping:
- Removes the over night ama/ toxins accumulation from the digestive tract which appears as coating on the tongue
- Reduces undesirable bacteria in the mouth that can compromise gum, teeth and oral health.
- Improves tongue appearance – restores tongue back to healthy pink and gets rid of unsightly white goo!
