Every morning when you wake up, you may notice a white coating on your tongue, and that's ama, undigested waste matter your body metabolized overnight. If you drink water before removing it, you push those toxins back inside your body. And here's the Ayurvedic way: use a copper or silver tongue scraper. After brushing your teeth, hold the scraper, place it on the back of your tongue, and gently pull forward, do this 5 to 7 times and then rinse very well. This simple ritual removes toxins, improves taste, freshens your breath, most importantly clears space for better digestion. When your digestion improves, your skin looks better too. It takes only 30 seconds but it makes a huge impact on your skin and your gut health and it has a heart health connection which most people don't know about.
