Pure Copper Tongue Scraper for Jihwa Prakshalana

€11,00

A single-handle pure copper tongue scraper, designed for Jihwa Prakshalana, the Ayurvedic practice of cleaning the tongue first thing each morning.

Art of Vedas Copper Tongue cleaner is made from solid 100% pure copper in a single-handle teardrop design. The handle gives you a firm, one-handed grip with full control over angle and pressure. The curved scraping edge is narrower and more defined than the flat U-shaped scrapers you see elsewhere, it follows the natural contour of the tongue more precisely, reaching deeper into the grooves where Ama (tongue coating) builds up overnight. The result is a cleaner, more thorough scrape in fewer strokes.

This is not a blunt edge pushed across the tongue. It is a refined, purposeful curve that lifts the coating rather than smearing it. You feel the difference from the first use, the tongue comes out visibly cleaner, the mouth feels lighter, and the breath is genuinely fresh, not masked.

Pure copper adds a second layer. Tamra (copper) is naturally antimicrobial, the surface actively inhibits bacteria from building up on the scraper between uses. Where stainless steel and plastic sit idle between mornings, copper continues working. It stays cleaner in your bathroom, requires less maintenance, and the slight flexibility of the metal allows the edge to adapt gently to the shape of your tongue without scratching or irritation.

Compact, light, and easy to store. One hand, 30 seconds, every morning.

First thing in the morning, before brushing, before eating, before drinking.

  1. Hold the tongue scraper by the handle
  2. Extend your tongue and place the curved edge as far back as is comfortable
  3. Draw the scraper gently forward in one smooth stroke, from back to front
  4. Rinse the scraper under running water
  5. Repeat five to seven times, until the tongue feels clean and the visible coating is removed

Do not press hard. Let the curve and the weight of the copper do the work. The edge should glide, not dig.

After scraping, move to step two of Dantacharya: oil pulling with Arimedadi Thailam.

Rinse under running water after each use. That is the only daily maintenance required.

Copper will naturally develop a patina over time, a darker, warmer tone on the surface. This does not affect the function or hygiene of the scraper. To restore the original shine, rub occasionally with a paste of lemon juice and salt, rinse, and dry.

Do not use abrasive scrubbers. Do not put it in the dishwasher.

A well-made copper tongue scraper will last for years. This is not a product you replace — it is a product you keep.

What Tongue Scraping Does

The coating that forms on your tongue overnight is called Ama in Ayurveda, accumulated residue from digestion and metabolic activity during sleep. Jihwa Prakshalana removes it first thing in the morning, before brushing, before eating, before drinking anything.

Removes Ama — Lifts the coating before it is reabsorbed back into the body.

Freshens breath at the source — Most oral odour originates on the tongue, not the teeth. Removing the cause is more effective than masking it.

Sharpens taste — A coated tongue cannot taste properly. After scraping, food tastes clearer and more distinct.

A daily health reading — The thickness, color, and location of the coating reflect your digestion, hydration, and balance. You start to notice the patterns.

Complete Your Dantacharya Routine

Tongue scraping is the first of three steps in the Ayurvedic morning oral care practice. For the full Dantacharya routine:

  • Step 1 — Copper Tongue Scraper — Jihwa Prakshalana
  • Step 2 — Arimedadi Thailam — Herb oil pulling oil for Gandusha
  • Step 3 — Copper Glass, — for Ushapana, drinking Tamra Jal (copper water) on an empty stomach

The three steps take 15 minutes together. The tongue scraper alone takes 30 seconds.
