Découvrons ensemble tous les bienfaits que peut avoir l’utilisation d’un gratte langue ayurvédique au quotidien. Tongue scraping is a detoxifying ritual that has long been practiced in Ayurveda. It is particularly appreciated for removing residues from the tongue and improving digestion. That's why this oral hygiene essential is becoming increasingly popular in the West. Let's discover the benefits of using an Ayurvedic tongue scraper on a daily basis.
The tongue, the mirror of health in Ayurveda
In traditional Indian medicine, the tongue plays a very important role, providing a wealth of information on digestive health and reflecting the state of health more generally. A real diagnostic tool, this organ is often observed by Ayurvedic physicians. In particular, he analyzes the toxins present on the tongue, called "Ama" in Ayurveda. Their color and consistency can indicate the presence of certain disorders, malaise, imbalances or deficiencies. The area of the tongue covered by these toxins shows which organ is affected (the front of the tongue, for example, corresponds to the heart and lungs).
The importance of the tongue scraper according to Ayurvedic medicine
If not removed, toxins on the tongue can accumulate in the body, harming oral health, the proper functioning of internal organs and the balance of the doshas. This is why jihva sodhana (tongue cleansing) is so important in Ayurveda.
The use of a tongue-scraper is therefore recommended to get rid of toxins, ensure general well-being and maintain a healthy digestive system. Used on a daily basis, this tool also helps prevent the onset of various disorders, since as Ayurveda preaches, prevention is better than cure!
The benefits of Ayurvedic tongue scrapers
Maintaining good oral health
Including a tongue scraper as part of a daily hygiene routine helps to maintain good oral health, including a balanced microbiota. By removing bacteria and toxins from the tongue, it helps prevent the most common dental and gum problems.
Fresh breath guaranteed
Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can result from sulfur compounds produced by toxins and bacteria on the tongue. By getting rid of these, the tongue scraper helps to eliminate this problem, which can be annoying on a daily basis, provided other factors are not the cause.
Better taste perception
Taste perception is enhanced by the tongue scraper, which helps to increase the sensitivity of the taste buds. This benefit also makes it possible to eat with full awareness, enhancing well-being during meals.
Healthy digestion
By activating the salivary glands, which in turn activate digestion, ayurvedic tongue scraping is beneficial for the digestive system. It also relieves the digestive system from having to deal with toxins on the tongue. And let's not forget: good digestive health ensures the elimination of waste from the body, which boosts the immune system. But that's not all! Internal organs are also more stimulated, and overall health is improved.
