Copper tongue scraper, made by hand in India
Our copper tongue scraper is a U-shaped strip of pure copper with a short, rounded handle at each end. There is a ring near the top of each handle. The listed size is 14 × 5 × 2 cm (about 5.5 × 2 × 0.8 in), it weighs 50 g, and the finish is smooth. It is the two-handled scraper of the Ayurvedic tradition, made in copper.
How to use a copper tongue scraper
1. Do it first thing, ahead of your toothbrush. Take a handle in each hand. 2. Lay the bend of the strip on your tongue, only as far back as is comfortable. Gagging means you went too deep; begin closer to the centre and go a little further as the days pass. 3. Draw the strip gently toward you until it leaves the tip. 4. Clear it under running water. Three or four strokes are usual. 5. Give it a last rinse and a wipe, then clean your teeth as normal.
Why copper
Copper is the traditional metal for this tool. It darkens as it is used and comes back bright with a lemon-and-salt rub; do not force the strip into a new bend.

WHY BUY FROM COPPER HEALER
Every review of this scraper gives it five stars. The two- and four-packs suit a household, one scraper per person, and US standard shipping is free.
Copper Healer was founded by me, Akshat Goel. I buy these scrapers from smiths I deal with in person, make trips to their workshop to examine the sheet stock, and do the final look at finished pieces myself before anything is packed for an order. Long practice of yoga and meditation makes me particular about the metal a tool like this is made from.
Pure Copper
The scraper is pure copper. Bare copper darkens with use; that is the metal, and lemon and salt restore the colour.
How to Use & Care
Once you finish, run warm water over the scraper and wipe it dry. Give it a lemon-and-salt rub roughly weekly, then rinse and dry it again. It is a hand-wash item, not for the dishwasher. Everyone in the house should have their own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Copper or stainless steel tongue scraper: which should I buy?
Both are used the same way. Copper is the traditional material in Ayurveda and darkens with use until you polish it with lemon and salt; steel keeps its colour. Ours is a U-shaped strip of pure copper with a handle at each end.
How do I clean a copper tongue scraper?
Warm running water and a dry cloth after every scrape. Roughly weekly, add a lemon-and-salt rub before the rinse. It is hand-wash only, never the dishwasher.
How long does a copper tongue scraper last?
There is no fixed date. Use it until the strip bends out of shape or the scraping edge gets a nick, then replace it; packs of two ($43.90) or four ($75.80) keep a spare ready.
Does scraping come before brushing?
Before, in the usual routine: scraper, then toothbrush. Swapping the order is fine.
Does it come with a travel pouch?
No. The pack holds the scrapers only.
Can I use it if I have a metal allergy?
If you know you have a metal allergy, ask a qualified healthcare professional before using this tool.
