How to Use and Care for a Tongue Scraper?
Copper tongue scrapers are used in the morning, before brushing your teeth:
- Hold it by both ends. Hold the U-shaped tool with both hands by its brass knobbed ends. The curved part is the side that touches the tongue.
- Stick out your tongue and look in the mirror. Extend your tongue as far out as possible. Do not start too far back, so you don't trigger the gag reflex.
- Scrape from back to front. Place the curved strip on the back of your tongue and pull it toward the tip with light pressure. You don't need to press hard, gentle contact is enough.
- Rinse after each pass. Clean the layer that builds up on the strip under running water.
- Repeat 5–10 times. Continue until your tongue looks clean, covering the right, left and middle parts of the tongue.
- Rinse your mouth. When you finish, rinse your mouth with water.
Care:
- After each use, wash with lukewarm water and a little soap, then dry. If left damp, it will tarnish more quickly.
- The natural darkening that develops over time is a normal characteristic of copper. To polish it, rubbing with a mixture of lemon and salt or vinegar and salt, then rinsing, is enough.
- It is for personal use only and should not be shared with others.
Things to keep in mind: Do not use it if you have a sore, irritation or bleeding on your tongue. If you press too hard, the tongue surface may become irritated.
Is Copper Poisonous?
No, copper is not poisonous.
Copper products that are properly manufactured and properly used are safe.
Copper is a mineral necessary for the human body. Tin-lined copper pots, pans and flasks used in everyday life are suitable for contact with food. In traditional production, the inner surfaces of copper products are tin-lined; this coating keeps the direct contact between copper and food under control.
However, the following should be kept in mind:
Acidic foods that stay in contact with an unlined copper surface for a long time (such as foods with lemon, tomato paste or vinegar) are not recommended. For this reason, quality production and regular tin maintenance are important.
In summary:
✔️ Properly manufactured, tin-lined copper products are safe.
✔️ With proper use and care, they can be used healthily for many years.
❌ Unlined and unmaintained products should not be preferred.
When produced by skilled hands, copper is both a safe and healthy choice.
