Brushing your teeth is only one step of oral hygiene. Overnight a coating forms on your tongue. Your tongue should thus be cleaned after brushing to prevent this coating from forming. The coating is made up of a mixture of toxins and bacteria and is often the cause of bad breath, periodontal disease or tooth decay. The coating that forms on the tongue should by no means be swallowed into the body.

• Ayurveda attaches great importance to cleaning the tongue every morning. This is best done with a special tongue cleaner and only takes a few seconds. It has an excellent effect on your well-being.
