In Ayurveda, Ama refers to any accumulation of toxic residue in the mind-body. This can result from improper eating, poor digestion, or a reflection of an imbalance somewhere in the gastrointestinal system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, from an Ayurvedic perspective, by removing this coating you improve your ability to taste your food, which makes it more satisfying. By increasing your taste reception, not only do you eat less, you also eliminate the need to add more sugar, salt, or excessive spice to the food to make it more flavorful. Many of the beneficial phytonutrients and “body signals” that your food contains are first interpreted by the mind-body upon contact with receptors on the tongue. You want to improve this communication between your food and your body by removing any coating that is interfering with that connection. Also, many herbs have their beneficial effects from the initial contact with receptors on the tongue. Hence, you need a clear tongue to receive this healthy information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat kind of Scraper to use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Charaka Samhita states that “tongue scrapers should be made of gold, silver, copper, tin and brass and should be non-sharp and curved, so as not to injure the tongue”. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Scrape your Tongue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tongue should be gently scraped from back to front for 7 to 14 strokes. The scraper may be rinsed off between strokes if there is a lot of accumulation. Some people report stimulation of the gag reflex during scraping, which may indicate that the scraping is too aggressive. If this occurs with gentle scraping, begin slightly more forward on the tongue to avoid the gagging reflex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Daily \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003ePractice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom an Ayurvedic perspective, tongue scraping should be performed on a daily basis. This ancient practice helps to stimulate the internal organs through energetic connections with the rest of the body, improve digestion by increasing your sense of taste, and cleanse the body by removing Ama and bacteria from your oral cavity. In addition, it increases clarity of the mind by reducing heaviness and Ama from the head. When your physical and emotional bodies are balanced, it allows you to expand your spiritual awakening as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tongue is the mirror to all the organs of the body, and thus, a daily look at the tongue prior to scraping gives you a clue to your general health. In Ayurveda, a good tongue examination is a useful way of evaluating the health of the entire body. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour Trusted Brand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKaarigar, unlike similar brands, is not a reseller.
