Tongue Scraping | Yoga of Eating

Tongue Scraping not only helps in elimination and detoxification but also kindles and signals the body to start the digestive process.This stimulates the whole digestive tract and increases the Agni (digestive fire). Clinical evidence shows that use of tongue scrapers on a regular basis, has a significant improvement on eliminating anaerobic bacteria and decreases bad odour. Tongue scraping stimulates the reflex points of the tongue, removes bad odour (halitosis), improves the sense of taste and stimulates the secretion of digestive enzymes. It has been estimated that the debris in the mouth may be responsible for up to 90 percent of oral malodor.
