Tongue cleaning, also known as tongue scraping, is the daily Ayurvedic ritual of gently scraping unwanted toxins and residue off of the tongue. Traditionally, this practice is done with copper for its powerful antiseptic effects. Tongue cleaning eliminates the bacteria which cause bad breath, draws ama, or toxins, out of the body, and improves digestion by stimulating the taste buds.

1 copper tongue cleaner with travel bag

100% copper

Directions: 

This daily ritual is best done first thing in the morning, prior to eating or drinking. Hold the tongue cleaner on either side. Extend the tongue out of the mouth and inspect for a coating. Place the tongue cleaner towards the back of the tongue and gently scrape the film forward and out of the mouth. Wash the film off of the tongue cleaner and repeat until the tongue is clean. Follow with PAAVANI Oil Pulling Oil.

Cleaning:

To clean the tarnish from your copper tongue cleaner, we recommend rubbing it with a lemon wedge covered in salt and wiping off with a clean, dry cloth. You may also clean your tongue cleaner using a boiled mixture of vinegar and salt (approximately 3 parts vinegar to 1 part salt). Let your tongue cleaner soak in the solution for 10-15 minutes, wipe with a dry cloth and rinse with water.

The seed of PAAVANI Ayurveda was planted between Leah Klatt and Trudy Collings during their Herbalism Apprenticeship at the California College of Ayurveda. It was then that the women discovered their common passion for developing skin and body care products that carry on the tradition of Ayurveda. They decided that they wanted to share this with the world. PAAVANI was born a few years later in 2014, when the women opened an office space in Grass Valley, CA, to offer Traditional Ayurvedic Body Therapies. It was at this time that the first products in their line were developed. The women intended to create dosha specific products that they could use in their therapies and further extend out to their community. Leah and Trudy bow to the inspiring forces of the community in which they are blessed to call home. This healing, energetic center in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range is home to the sacred Yuba River, vast horizons of wild natural beauty and creative people who influence them daily. The women give thanks to the powerful energy of this community and the support that it has offered to their creation of PAAVANI. Furthermore, the women seek inspiration and guidance through yoga and its philosophy, song, dance, shamanic journeying and travels around the world. PAAVANI would not be the thriving business it is today without the help of these awakening forces.
