Self-care Cleansing Practices: 1. TONGUE SCRAPING Most of us feel digestion takes place in the stomach & intestine. However, Ayurveda says- digestion begins in the mouth the moment food is eaten. The tongue is the first organ in the digestive system. Thus, keeping it clean provides a clean pathway for food to enter the body & aids better digestion. ... The tongue is also a map of the entire body (as shown in image). Ayurveda uses tongue diagnosis as a window into the internal workings of the body. The process of tongue cleaning is described in the image. A copper or steel tongue cleaner is a great choice & should form a part of the daily self care kit. (Using a toothbrush for tongue scraping does not give the same effect as a tongue cleaner) Advantages of tongue cleaning: - Clears toxins, bacteria, and dead cells from the tongue - Prevents bad breath - Enhances the sense of taste - Promotes oral and digestive health - Gently stimulates the internal organs

The science of Ayurveda treats all 5 senses at par with each other.. It's not just what we eat that can bring sickness or good health.. What we watch, hear, feel & breathe equally affects our health.. Be careful of what you feed yourself through all your 5 senses!
