Tongue Cleaning
Dr. Oz had a segment on Tongue Health: Hairy Tongue, Oral Cancer & Thrush
Is your tongue smooth, bumpy, dark or light in color? Did you know that your tongue can teach you about your health?
Bottom line is that your tongue should be fairly smooth, but with tiny bumps. So go ahead & check your tongue out (you know you want too)! So what is your conclusion? Do you have a healthy tongue or do we need to check a little further? So go back to the mirror, does your tongue have good color or is it pale looking? If this is the case then your body is suffering from a deficiency . It could be a deficiency of iron, vitamin B or B12. You could even have anemia. If part of your tongue has a white coating on it , it could be Thrush as well.
Some people suffer from allergic reactions that result in a small blister or multiple blisters in the mouth or on the tongue. Man, those things hurt! If those pesky little blisters (ulcers) don’t disappear after about 3 days, do yourself a favor and get your dentist to check it out and make sure there is nothing to be concerned over. Dr. Oz did say that usually Oral Cancer is on the sides or back and not on the top of the tongue.
My favorite part of Dr. Oz’s segment was on the Mighty Tongue Scraper! I’m a coffee drinker. Well, my favorite cup of Joe causes me to have that dark color on my tongue. Scrubbing with the tooth brush just doesn’t get it all. Well all I can say is “Thank you for the advise Dr. Oz” because I now have my faithful tool – the tongue scrapper!
Your tongue is the strongest muscle in the entire body so we need to take care of it.

Sea Buckthorn Juice
Dr Oz: Sea Buckthorn Juice
Dr Oz said that Sea Buckthorn Berries are a tart little berry that come from a shrub and contain Omega-7 Fatty Acids, Antioxidants and vitamins. It is Dr Oz Sea Buckthornrare to find a natural form of Omega-7 Fatty Acids, which is what sets apart the Sea Buckthorn Berries. A big experiment was done where they fed mice a high fat diet, but some mice received Sea Buckthorn Berries while the control group did not. The control group of mice became extremely fat and got Diabetes and Heart Disease. The mice that were fed the Sea Buckthorn Berry Juice though did not become overweight or have any of the health complications associated with obesity like Diabetes or Heart Disease. It seems that Sea Buckthorn signals your body to stop storing unnecessary fat. Doctor Oz said that he like to take these berries in the juice form, which runs about $5 for a four ounce bottle.
Dr Oz: Sea Buckthorn Supplements
Dr Oz also said that Sea Buckthorn can help to keep your poop regular. There are several factors that decide how regular you will be. One is the consistency of your poop, but the lining of your intestinal tract is also very important. When the lining is not healthy, it can become dry. Omega-7 Fatty Acids help to keep the lining of your intestinal tract wet by secreting mucus so that everything can pass through quickly and easily. Doctor Oz suggested taking one 500 mg of a Sea Buckthorn Capsule daily to help with this.
Dr Oz: Sea Buckthorn Oil
Doctor Oz’s final tip was to use Sea Buckthorn Oil to keep your skin looking young and beautiful. Skin looks youngest when it is kept moist, so he showed how you can rub Sea Buckthorn Oil into your face to help prevent wrinkles. You can apply this once a day topically as a moisturizer.
