Copper Tongue Scraper

The Bambaw copper tongue scraper provides a clean and fresh feeling, a good start to the day! Tongue cleaning originated thousands of years ago in the Indian medical system of Ayurveda. It is now becoming increasingly popular in Europe, as it is a good way to prevent bad breath and oral diseases.

Using a tongue scraper daily helps the body eliminate toxins that have built up in the mouth overnight, leaving you feeling refreshed and clean as you start your day.

The advantages of the tongue scraper at a glance:

• Removes toxins and bacteria from the tongue
• Helps remove the coating on the tongue that causes bad breath
• Helps remove undigested food particles from the tongue
• Improves your sense of taste
• Promotes overall oral and digestive health

The Arista tongue scrapers are sustainably produced in India and are made of pure copper, which is known for its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.

Instructions for use
If desired, you can sterilize the tongue scraper by immersing it in boiling water for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the tongue cleaner from the water and allow it to cool before use. Dry thoroughly to prevent oxidation.

Start at the back of your tongue and gradually scrape towards the front to remove the white layer on the tongue. Do not use too much pressure when scraping. Repeat as often as necessary. Rinse the tongue scraper with water and dry thoroughly with a towel. If you do not dry it properly, the water will oxidize the copper and you will get stains.

The best time to use the tongue scraper is in the morning. The body detoxifies itself at night and many toxins are released through the tongue.

Oxidation of copper

Because copper is a naturally occurring element, it can change color when exposed to elements such as air and water. This is known as patina, a thin coating that naturally forms on copper in a process known as oxidation.

If exposed to air, the copper will form a dark patina. If exposed to water, it will form a greenish blue patina. This discoloration is completely natural and does not affect the functioning of the product, nor the antibacterial properties of the copper.

However, if you want your tongue scraper to look as good as new again, follow these simple steps:

• Add 1 tablespoon of salt to 1 cup of white vinegar
• Make a paste by adding flour and mix well
• Apply the mixture to the affected areas
• Let it soak for 15 to 30 minutes
• Rinse with warm water and polish

If you don't have salt and vinegar on hand, you can also use lemon juice and baking soda.
