Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a copper tongue scraper preferred over plastic or stainless steel?
Copper is traditionally prized in Ayurveda for its natural element-balancing properties and inherent antimicrobial action. Unlike plastic scrapers, which trap bacteria easily, or stainless steel, which lacks active properties, copper helps eliminate odor-causing bacteria while gently stimulating vital digestive organs. Those with a Pitta constitution may want to stick with stainless steel.
Will the copper tongue scraper tarnish over time, and how do I clean it?
Yes, pure copper naturally oxidizes and darkens over time when exposed to air and moisture. To restore its bright, original luster, simply rub the scraper with a tiny pinch of fine salt and fresh lemon juice, rinse it with warm water, and dry it completely with a towel.
