The ancient morning ritual
For over 2,500 years, yoga masters began every morning with one ritual above all others. Before breathwork. Before movement. Before anything. This was it.
The philosophy
In Shatkriya, the ancient yogic system of six purification rituals, tongue scraping was not optional. It was the foundation. Performed before asana, before pranayama, before everything.
They chose copper specifically. Not because it was available. Because it worked in a way nothing else did.
Modern science has since given that a name. The oligodynamic effect. When bacteria meet copper, they do not survive it. The metal destroys the cell membrane on contact. Completely. Not partially.
They did not have the language for it. They had the results. Now you can have both.
Years of continuous practice. One of the most tested morning habits in human history.

The ritual
Wake up

Why copper
The material is not a detail. It is the whole thing.

"Speedy delivery and great quality product."
It is well-made, easy to use and works really well. Would definitely recommend.
"Has been a game changer for me every morning."
Quality feels great. Amazing design and the benefits speak for themselves.
"This tongue scraper exceeded my expectations. "
It still amazes me how much gunk comes off my tongue each day. My TUNG is a life saver.
"It’s elevated my morning and night routine entirely. Extremely happy with this purchase! "
Could not recommend more.
"Not only did my scraper arrive gorgeously packaged with a hand written note, I have been using it for 2 weeks and can already see a difference."

The founder
I am Rory. Professional hockey player. Yoga and breathwork coach. Diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis at 20.
That diagnosis changed everything about how I look after myself. I went looking for the small things that actually work. The ones that have stood the test of not just decades but millennia.
Tongue scraping with copper was one of them. TUNG is what I built around it. A collection of copper wellness tools rooted in the eight limbs of yoga. This is the first. There are seven more to come.
