Talking about tongues isn't exactly something we do in everyday conversations, but what if I told you that this topic could be the key to fresher breath and better oral health?
What's the Deal with Tongue Scraping?
Tongue scraping is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that's gaining modern scientific backing. It involves removing the coating of bacteria, food debris, and dead cells from your tongue's surface using a specially designed tool.
The Science
Recent research has revealed some eye-opening findings about tongue scraping:
1. Bye Bad Breath: Tongue scraping significantly reduced bad breath.
2. Less Tongue Bacteria: Participants showed a noticeable decrease in tongue coating.
3. Reduced Bad Breath: Levels of hydrogen sulfide (a major culprit in bad breath) decreased using tongue scrapers.
Quick Tips for Tongue Scraping Success
1. Get a quality tongue scraper (stainless steel or copper).
2. Scrape from back to front, 5-10 times daily.
3. Rinse and clean your scraper after use.
Yes, it's a bit gross to think about, but adding this simple step to your oral hygiene routine can make a big difference. Your mouth (and your loved ones) will thank you!

More Info: At WellPro, we’re building a native AI platform purpose-built to scale the next era of care: personalized, preventative, and data-driven. Our thesis is simple but bold; the future of care delivery will be patient-centered, proactive, longitudinal, and closed-loop. That demands infrastructure that can ingest multi-modal health data, generate insight, drive action, and continuously optimize based on outcomes.
We believe Agentic AI is central to making this vision real. Not just chat interfaces or “co-pilots,” but deeply embedded, goal-driven AI agents that operate within the clinical system itself, helping surface insights at the point of care, automate routine tasks, and ensure closed-loop follow-through on interventions. This isn’t an AI layer on top of legacy systems. It’s a new foundation.
