Tongue scraping, or jihwa prakshalana,
is a traditional Ayurvedic self-care practice.
Overnight, as the body processes everything that was ingested the previous day, toxins begin to form & are visible as a coating on the tongue.

Each section on the tongue corresponds to an organ, making the tongue a roadmap to the body's health.
Scraping the tongue thereby gives our internal organs a gentle massage. When you scrape the back of the tongue, the colon is cleansed, stimulating better peristalsis.

Why scrape your tongue?
✅Reduces toxin load; preventing reabsorption of toxins that your body worked to expel
✅ Reduces obstruction to the respiratory system
✅Reduces bacteria and dead cells from the tongue
✅Enhances sense of taste
✅Promotes overall oral & digestive health

The 74th World Health Assembly approved the WHO resolution on global disability action plan 2014–2021 for better health for all people with #disability.
The #WHA74 is expected to adopt this resolution on plenary next week.
The #WHA74 is expected to adopt this resolution on plenary next week.
Over 1 billion people currently live with some form of #disability. This number is rising as populations expand and age, and due to the increasing number of people living with noncommunicable conditions. #WHA74
Today's #WHA74 resolution on health for people living with disabilities aims to make the health sector more inclusive by tackling the significant barriers many people with disabilities face when they try to access health services.

#Thread about brushing your teeth:
When I came back from the US in late 2018, one of my goals was to create awareness about oral health. I was very surprised to hear how many people don't know its essential to brush multiple times.

So I created this poll and the results confirmed my fear. More than 50% said they brush ONCE a day! So here goes.
Teeth can get two main diseases: Caries/cavities and periodontal/gum disease. Both are multi factorial but start with two main factors: Diet and oral hygiene.

Genes play a role but let's not blame our parents and their parents for our faults.
Basically food left on teeth causes caries and under the gums causes periodontal issues. Plain and simple. Some foods are worse than others but oral hygiene is key. So lets start with brushing.

Facts:
1) 3.5 Billion People are affected by Caries.
If you have never had a comprehensive exam with a full set of xrays done, you are one of those 3.5B people. That’s basically 3 Indian populations put together.

2) Dental Caries does not always hurt.
That’s when you should aim for it to be detected and treated. Typically it will means a filling. Occasionally a crown. Rarely a root canal or extraction.
