Goodly Gosh Copper Tongue Cleaner Traditional (Single Handle)

Description:

This is the traditional curved copper scraper reworked with one joined handle instead of two, so it can be used comfortably in a single hand. The scraping edge keeps the classic curved Ayurvedic profile — only the grip changes — which makes it the pick for anyone who finds the two-handed style awkward.

Goodly Gosh frames tongue cleaning as an integral part of Ayurvedic oral care — "oral care is incomplete if the tongue is not cleaned" — and points to clinical trials showing a tongue cleaner is considerably more effective at reducing the Volatile Sulfur Compounds behind bad breath than using a regular toothbrush on the tongue. Copper is the traditional material of choice because it is naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial, the same property that saw earlier civilisations use it for surgical instruments.

Use it daily, in the morning. Gently scrape from the back of the tongue to the front, as many times as needed to lift the coating, without going too deep. Rinse the cleaner after each stroke, rinse the mouth and spit, then rinse the scraper and store it in a dry area. Anyone with a sensitive gag reflex or other medical concerns should check with their dentist or doctor first.

It is made from pure copper with no toxic coatings — naturally antimicrobial, rust and corrosion resistant, fully recyclable, and free of the plastic waste problem that comes with disposable scrapers. Supplied in compostable cardboard packaging.

Key Benefits:

• Removes the bacterial and food-debris coating from the tongue, targeting the sulfur compounds that cause bad breath
• Clinically shown to beat a toothbrush at reducing Volatile Sulfur Compounds
• Improves overall oral hygiene by clearing bacteria and debris linked to cavities and gum disease
• Restores taste sensation by lifting the coating that dulls the taste buds
• Pure copper is naturally antimicrobial and corrosion resistant, so the scraper stays hygienic and lasts a lifetime

Ingredients:

Pure copper, free from lead, impurities and toxic coatings. Hand-crafted; ethically and sustainably made. Rinse after each stroke and after use and store in a dry area — copper tarnishes naturally, and shine is restored by rubbing with a cut lemon dipped in salt, or with baking soda and vinegar. Supplied in compostable, plastic-free packaging.
