Product FAQ
Q: How often should I use this?
A: Daily use is recommended as part of your morning oral hygiene routine, ideally before brushing your teeth. 30 seconds each morning is sufficient.
Q: Is copper safe for oral use?
A: Copper has been used for tongue scrapers in Ayurvedic traditions for thousands of years. This is a smooth, polished copper tool designed for gentle
external tongue cleaning. Not for internal use.
Q: Why does my copper tongue scraper tarnish?
A: Copper naturally oxidizes and develops a patina over time — this is normal and does not affect functionality. You can polish it with lemon juice + salt
if you prefer the shiny look, or embrace the natural patina.
Q: Can I use this if I have a tongue piercing?
A: Use caution around piercings. Scrape gently and avoid the pierced area. If you experience any discomfort, discontinue use.
Q: What's the difference between copper, silver, and stainless steel scrapers?
A: All function the same way for tongue cleaning. Copper is the traditional Ayurvedic choice. Silver is also traditional but more expensive. Stainless steel
is modern and doesn't tarnish. Choose based on your preference.
Q: How long will this last?
A: With proper care, a copper tongue scraper can last 10-20+ years. One scraper replaces thousands of disposable alternatives.
