Copper Tongue Cleaner

Copper naturally inhibits the growth of bacteria. Using it to scrap your tongue has been used for centuries to reduce bacteria which cause bad breath, cavities and gum disease.According to Wikipedia, the tongue is the home for upwards of 500 different kinds of bacteria which are responsible for 80-95% of our bad breath.The rough surface of the tongue provides ideal hiding places for them; and the coating of left over food debris, as well as, the rotting dead cells and mucus from the sinuses help keep them safely hidden and protected from normal oral cleaning.Massaging the tongue is also a technique in Traditional Chinese Medicine used to promote general health and wellness. Using your Tongue clearner regularly will help accomplish this also.
