Tongue scraping one of the best natural remedies for bad breath and is a must on the
master cleanse diet.
It removes the bacteria that is caught in between the tiny bumps (papillae) on your tongue that is the cause of bad breath.
Using a scraper for your tongue also helps improve taste, removes the coating white coating that appears on your tongue when cleansing and slows the growth of plaque.
Tongue Cleaning is considered by some, the BEST natural remedy for bad breath.
The master cleanse
recommends that you scrape your tongue during the cleanse, as often as you brush your teeth, to remove the white film that forms on your tongue. However from a hygiene perspective, you should do it even when you are not on a cleanse.
Whether or not you should get a stainless steel or plastic one is a personal decision. However, think about this: Would you rather use real silverware to eat or are you ok with plastic?
My personal preference is a stainless steel scraper. A couple of pointers on the stainless steel cleaner. Its a bit more comfortable and gentle on your tongue. Its unaffected by bacteria. And it washes nicely and it won’t break like a plastic scraper.
Many of the stainless steel tongue cleaners come with a dual edge, so it doesn’t matter which way you hold it, it can still do the job.
Be sure it has a curved cleaning edge to better remove the bacteria and the soft plaque. Also check that it is slim and has a low profile so you can have better control to reach in the back of your tongue.
