A member asked:
Is it alright to brush tongue regularly with baking soda? i've been brushing for 2 weeks, thats the only thing that takes the coating off my tongue.

Baking soda: is found in some toothpastes. If you brush aggressively with plain baking soda - if could erode enamel on your teeth.

Alright: Brushing with baking soda will not do any harm. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
