Never heard of a tongue scraper? It's "a tool for cleaning the surface of your tongue," explains Mishal Reja, MD, an internal medicine physician and gastroenterologist, to Shape. They can be made of metal or plastic and help "remove bacteria and dead cells that accumulate on the tongue."
The benefits? Since it removes odor-causing bacteria, it can help prevent or combat bad breath. It can also "improve your sense of taste by removing the coating that forms on your tongue so you can better taste your food," she adds.
"In traditional Ayurvedic belief, tongue scraping may also aid in digestion by stimulating taste buds and improving digestive enzymes, particularly amylase and lipase," she says.
