No oral hygiene routine would be complete without this essential wellbeing tool! The Gutsi® copper tongue scraper will introduce you to the gentle Ayurvedic practice of Jihwa Prakshalana, otherwise known as tongue scraping, which supports a healthy mouth and oral microbiome. Embracing the daily ritual of tongue scraping helps to cleanse and detoxify the tongue, supporting fresh breath, improved taste perception and encourages healthy salivary secretion for total digestive and gut health.
In the Ayurvedic tradition, the tongue is a potent symbol of health. Analysing its appearance in terms of colour, coating, size, shape and other characteristics can provide useful indicators of underlying health and any signs of imbalance. A common issue for many people is the appearance of a white coating on the tongue, which is considered a sign of gut imbalance and signals the presence of Ama (digestive toxins) within the body. Daily tongue scraping is a self-care practice that supports the removal of a white coating from bacterial accumulation to nurture a healthier oral environment and supporting a balanced oral microbiome.Â
A daily tongue scraping practice supports:
Copper is a precious earth metal that has been prized for centuries for its health and wellbeing properties. With natural antimicrobial properties, the 100% pure copper Gutsi® tongue scraper removes undesirable bacterial accumulation whilst supporting a healthy pH oral environment that activates vital enzymes to support the survival of healthy oral bacteria. Plus the durability and long-life of copper makes this one wellness tool that will last for years if cared for properly.Â
Gutsi® formulator Kiran Krishnan advocates tongue scraping after breakfast, not first thing after waking, as is often recommended. Why? To preserve the production of health-giving Nitric Oxide (NO) from the bacteria that builds up overnight. Nitric oxide supports healthy blood pressure balance, transmits signals between brain neurons, and naturally supports the body’s response against pathogens. The oral microbiome is the primary source of these nitric oxide producers in the body, so scraping these important producers too early negates all the important health support NO offers. To maximise your absorption of nitric oxide, the ideal is to wake, work out or hang out, drink and eat before teeth brushing and tongue scraping.Â
Gutsi®‘s passion for the role of functional medicine in improving digestive health drives them to offer nature-inspired, science-backed formulas that work. Through education and easy-to-digest, evidence-based support, Gutsi®‘s mission is to empower you to be your most healthy self. Trust your gut when it comes to your body and health. Be Gutsi.
Made from 100% pure, uncoated copper. Approximate length 11.5cm x width 9cm (adjustable) Includes bonus storage & travel pouch made from organic cotton.
Store tongue scraper in a dry place – handles down in a glass jar works well, or in the storage/travel pouch provided. Â
Gentle hand wash is recommended, using 1 teaspoon of lemon juice + 1 teaspoon of salt to get back the shine. As this tongue scraper is made from 100% pure uncoated copper to preserve its antibacterial properties, it will tarnish and develop the typical, beautiful patina over time. Discolouration is completely normal and will not impact the effectiveness or safety of the product.
