We clean the tongue
People have known for a long time that regular cleansing of the tongue is necessary to maintain health. This procedure was recommended to their patients by ancient doctors. After all, the plaque that accumulates on the surface of the tongue contains a large number of pathogenic microorganisms that enter the digestive tract and provoke the development of pathologies. In addition, plaque on the tongue often causes an unpleasant odor that irritates others and can interfere with communication.
The tongue is cleaned with a special scraper or the back surface of the toothbrush adapted for this purpose. Cleaning is carried out in the direction from the far part of the tongue to the teeth, in the end, rinse your mouth several times with clean water.
An extremely healthy addition is to chew on the aromatic herbs. Peppermint works best and is easy to buy at the store or grown from seed in a flower pot. It is enough to chew and swallow a leaf of this plant after cleaning your teeth and tongue, so that a wonderful aroma and a feeling of freshness remain in your mouth for a long time.
